NEWS: Margantha fight the wolves at the gate!

Who are Margantha? It seems not even Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) who mixed and mastered their EP at Sonic Train Studio knows. The anonymous act hailing from Finland and Italy identify themselves simply as Nocturnus I, II and III however what we do know it that they draw inspiration from art in all its forms: from the literature of Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Stevenson, to the paintings of Caravaggio, Bosch and Turner. Listening to first single “Curse Of The Full Moon” and now follow up “Wolves At The Door”, the band appear to have influences in Venom, Behemoth and Gaerea, something which bodes well for the remainder of debut EP “Blood Moon Sacrifice” when it surfaces on 27th June via Rockshots Records. Who doesn’t like a fusion of ancestral myth and modern raw Black Metal?

The band comment: “‘Wolves At The Door’ tells the story of when the villagers, isolated beneath the shadow of the mountains, finally come face to face with the horror they’ve feared—not a pack but a single, relentless werewolf. A nocturnal and primal being whose thirst for flesh evokes the terror of an entire horde. This creature is more than just a legend—it’s a force that devours silence and sows panic. With this song, we wanted to translate the fear of the hunt, the chaos of uncertainty. The riffs alternate between menace and urgency, while the vocals embody both the predator and the prey,”
