Drown In Sulphur are the latest addition to German metal label Noble Demon and proudly present new music with a refreshed line-up.
After making a powerful statement with their first release, “New Moon Rising On Florence”, in June, the brand-new single further cements the direction the band is taking with their revamped sound.
The upcoming digital EP, Strix, blends the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences, marking a deliberate shift towards a less symphonic and more hardcore-driven sound.

The band comments on the song:
“Reinterpreting Lucifer’s fall within Dante’s Inferno, this track explores the freezing depths of the Ninth Circle, Cocytus, through an aggressive, pure deathcore assault blended with glacial black metal riffing that sonically channels the landscape’s eternal frost.
Amidst this dark and solemn sonic violence, the lyrics present a provocative moral dilemma, questioning the true nature of betrayal between the entity who gifted mankind the fruit of knowledge and a sovereign ruler intent on keeping humanity enslaved.”
Tracklist
- Neither Night Nor Day
- Groan From The IXth Circle
- New Moon Rising On Florence

- The Heptad Omen
With Strix, Drown In Sulphur deliver a desperate and focused body of work born from a renewed hunger for reinvention. The upcoming EP leaves traditional symphonic tropes behind in favour of a sound driven by raw energy and complex occult storytelling, blurring the lines between theological dread and sonic violence.
Formed in Milan, Italy, in 2014, Drown In Sulphur quickly shook the underground metal scene, securing millions of streams and views with explosive early singles such as “An Epilogue to the Arrogant” and “Blackwind”.
Fuelled by relentless creative energy and an evolving line-up, the project went on to release a series of powerful full-length records, including Sulphur Cvlt (2021), Dark Secrets Of The Soul (2024) and the rebellious Vengeance (2025).
Reinforced by their current definitive line-up, the band now enters its most authentic era yet.
Drown In Sulphur are:
Manuel Riboldi – Vocals
Erik Bellan – Rhythm Guitar
Ciprian Grigore – Lead and Rhythm Guitar
Domenico Francesco Tamilia – Drums and Backing Vocals
Strix will be available on 11 September on all major streaming platforms.
