As recently announced, NOVOMUNDO will release their debut album, “The Cursed Cult”, on March 1st, 2026. Today, the Rome-based band presents a new single from the album. With “Deathless”, NOVOMUNDO showcases all the key elements of their complex sound, combining thrash riffs, avalanche-like grooves and atmospheric touches with a tribal character. The band comments on the single and video: “The song is about the idea that if you are remembered, death is not the end! What better way to express ‘life after death’ on an album that deals with Voodoo? ZOMBIES! And what better way to represent zombies than through the Master who created their modern imagery? George A. Romero’s ‘Night of the Living Dead’ has been re-edited and reworked to create a striking, fresh piece as a tribute to the director.” Watch the “Deathless” video HERE. NOVOMUNDO was born near Rome around 2012 with the idea to blend heavy and groovy music textures alongside various influences, rhythms, and instruments from all over the world. After some line-up changes over the years, the band rewrote and refined some of their previous material, releasing “Echoes of Ego”: four songs focused on mid-paced ferocity and exotic grooves, with themes exploring modern world decay, primeval instincts, and nightmarish visions. “The Cursed Cult” represents the band’s first full-length effort: a darker and more crushing take on their renewed sound. The album explores Voodoo culture, its symbols and meanings, interpreted through the lens of contemporary life. Fourteen tracks of ferocity and raw energy blend dark ambient passages with a rotten edge, fusing death-groove and 2000s metal influences enriched by modern tones and crust-core elements. The album is a concept piece centered on Voodoo — its mysteries, rituals, and symbolic icons. Lyrically, it touches on slavery, prejudice, and death as a way to give value to life, among other themes. Across the tracks, listeners are guided through the pantheon of Voodoo deities, called Loa, exploring their stories and traits as metaphors to convey the album’s core messages. The soundscape of NOVOMUNDO evokes emotional instability and a sense of unease, symbolizing the fear stemming from ignorance and unfamiliarity. Tracklist: 01 Son of Mawu
