Wormholedeath is proud to announce the signing of Italian gothic rock/hard goth revolutionaries, Blax, for their sophomore album, Certesia, slated for release on April 25.

A storm of shadow and steel, Blax merges brooding gothic atmospheres with industrial grit, alternative edge, and the unapologetic fury of hard rock/metal, crafting a sound that defies genre walls while paying homage to the dark romanticism of ’80s icons.

Following their 2022 debut Meravilia – a cult favorite that carved their name into the underground – Certesia marks a journey inward. The album explores a metaphorical “village” of personal certainties, with each track dissecting introspective facets of identity.

“This isn’t just music—it’s a pilgrimage,” says the band. “Certesia is where we confront our shadows and embrace the chaos of self-discovery. It’s raw, theatrical, and unflinchingly honest.”

Get a glimpse of Certesia now with the music video for “Mr Graceful”, a taste of what’s to come. Watch the clip below.

Blax’s artistry extends beyond sound. Their striking visual identity embodies a “goth family” ethos, blending vampiric elegance with punk rebellion. This aesthetic depth amplifies their live shows, where haunting melodies collide with primal energy – a spectacle that has electrified stages at Masters Of Rock (CZ), Rock Castle (SK), and festivals across Europe.

Born in March 2020 as the solo vision of vocalist Giampaolo Polidoro (Blax) and guitarist Marco Fanella (Hektor), Blax evolved into a formidable quintet with Emil Dellantonio (Hexen) on guitar, Carlo Notarfonso (Xavier) on bass, and Luca Urbinati (Anon) on drums. After signing with AlphaOmega and conquering stages from Bulgaria to London, the band now readies their most ambitious work yet with Wormholedeath.
