Homselvareg

Homselvareg emerged in 2004 in northern Italy, inspired by the legend of the Homo Salvadego. In 2005, they self-produced their first eponymous album in limited quantities. Despite minimal promotion, it received positive feedback, leading to an official reissue. From 2004 to 2010, they performed in Italy with notable black metal acts like Shining, The Stone, Otargos, and Kult. In 2010, they released their second album, "Catastrofe," which garnered positive reviews. After this release, the band disbanded. In 2015, Homselvareg reformed with a partially renewed lineup, including Gerion. In 2018, they released the EP "Rinascita," and in 2023, the full-length album "Ventunesimo Secolo," featuring new guitarist Vestigian and session drummer Jonathan Garofoli. Since 2015, the band has performed with acts like Impaled Nazarene, Mysticum, Sur Austru, Ad Hominem, and Nocturnal Depression. On November 23, 2024, to celebrate their twentieth anniversary, the band released a box set of tape reissues of their first four works with renewed artwork. The set is wrapped in hand-tattooed real leather and is limited to 30 copies. The release date coincided with their first live performance with the new lineup at the Stige Fest, supporting Mysticum and Cult Of Fire. Also in November, the band released a new single featuring new bassist Clod the Ripper and Vellacifer as session drummer, now replaced by new permanent drummer Ferox.
