[news] Italian band Kybalion announce new EP “Make the World Bleed” out June 5 via Non Serviam Records
Italian black metal band Kybalion have announced the release of their third EP, Make the World Bleed, set to arrive on June 5 through Non Serviam Records.
Following their evolution from a studio project in 2022 into a full band in 2023, Kybalion continue to refine their identity with a release that is both sonically aggressive and conceptually driven. The new EP draws inspiration from Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s novel Der Verdacht (The Suspicion), exploring themes of absolute power and its psychological consequences - anxiety, guilt, and moral distortion.
Structured as four acts, Make the World Bleed represents different states of consciousness of an individual attempting to rise beyond human law and fear. The band frames this journey as an inevitable collapse: when a species is confronted with power too vast to comprehend or control, the result is destruction - it will make the world bleed.
Musically, Kybalion expand their modern black metal sound with dissonant textures, frantic riffing, and bleak atmospheres. Influenced by noir and obscure cinema, their compositions blend dark soundscapes, occasional d-beat passages, and decaying melodic lines, reinforcing the band’s stark and oppressive aesthetic.
Tracklist:
1.Make the World Bleed (2:43)
2. Hollow (4:19)
3. Tenebra (2:05)
4. Angst (3:17)
Kybalion’s work remains deeply rooted in a visual and philosophical framework, drawing from Absurdism, Cosmic Pessimism, and Futurism. Their imagery evokes a grotesque extension of human conscience.
All music on Make the World Bleed was composed and performed by Kybalion:
R.H. Moore — Vocals, lyrics
Seditio — Bass, soundscapes, lyrics
G.F. — Guitars
G. Olgen — Drums
The EP’s cover art features “The Astral Body” (1903) by Sascha Schneider (Der Astralmensch).
Make the World Bleed will be released on June 5 via Non Serviam Records.
