True Heavy Metal Leaders MALAMORTE return with their terrifying 9th album & the Horror-Metal Spectacle of 2026! Following the massive success of their critically acclaimed horror-metal masterpiece “Omen”, Italian occult metal masters MALAMORTE once again descend into the cursed mythology of the legendary Omen saga with the dark and cinematic new album “Omen II”!
Led by Italian metal icon Alessandro Nunziati, MALAMORTE has firmly established itself among the elite of modern horror heavy metal. Through nine albums of occult atmosphere, crushing riffs and sinister storytelling, Alessandro—known worldwide for his work with Theatres des Vampires, Lord Vampyr, Cain, Shadowsreign and many others—continues to push MALAMORTE deeper into epic darkness. What began as a pure heavy metal force has evolved into one of the most distinctive and theatrical horror-metal acts in the underground today.
Serving as the direct successor to 2022’s “Omen”, the new album draws inspiration from the 1978 cult horror classic “Damien: Omen II”. Continuing the apocalyptic storyline established on its predecessor, “Omen II” follows the rise of Damien Thorn as he fully embraces his destiny as the Antichrist. More than a tribute, the album functions as a complete horror-metal soundtrack to the film itself—capturing its paranoia, violence, occult mysticism and impending doom through massive riffs, haunting melodies and cinematic atmosphere.
Musically, “Omen II” expands upon the band’s signature blend of True Heavy Metal, Thrash and Occult Rock with even darker atmospheres and sharper songwriting precision. Crushing mid-tempo anthems collide with sinister synth arrangements, horror soundtrack textures and unforgettable choruses, creating what may be MALAMORTE’s most immersive and theatrical work to date. Influences ranging from King Diamond, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Death SS remain ever-present, yet the sound is unmistakably MALAMORTE—dark, catchy, epic and malevolent.
Featuring future horror-metal anthems and some of Alessandro Nunziati’s most cinematic vocal performances yet, “Omen II” stands as the perfect continuation of the band’s Omen saga and another towering achievement in modern horror metal.
The Antichrist has grown… and the prophecy is far from over.
