Rockshots Records proudly presents Margantha, an Italo-Finnish black metal band born from a shared artistic vision rooted in darkness, atmosphere and storytelling. Conceived by experienced musicians from the extreme music scene, the project was founded on the idea of anonymity—removing names, past projects and expectations to let the music speak for itself.
Their debut EP, “Blood Moon Sacrifice” is a concept work based on a legend passed down orally through generations. The tale—told to the vocalist as a child by his grandmother—tells of a werewolf haunting a hunters’ village at the foot of a remote mountain range. This myth gave birth to a collection of songs designed not simply to be listened to but to be experienced in full immersion.
The band comments: “We always begin with the concept.
The music follows naturally—often starting with a guitar riff or arpeggio and evolving through a collaborative process. We’re not interested in technical exhibitionism. Every choice serves the narrative.” The resulting material is raw, evocative, and direct—true to the spirit of black metal but enriched with depth and atmosphere.
Margantha’s sound draws inspiration from the evocative power of Mgła, the intensity of Uada and Gaerea and the epic darkness of Naglfar and Behemoth, while also channeling the spirit of legendary pioneers like Celtic Frost, Venom and King Diamond. The songs are structured to be memorable, immediate and fully aligned with the conceptual vision of the record.
While the band is just beginning its journey, their identity is already clear—both musically and visually. Their approach to live shows reflects the same energy: tight, relentless and impactful. Inspired by iconic performances where the music speaks louder than words, Margantha aims to deliver live sets that are immersive from start to finish with minimal breaks and maximum emotional charge.
For fans of immersive, concept-driven black metal, Margantha opens a gateway into forgotten legends and primal fears—brought to life through sound, shadow and silence.
