MALAURIU: Italian black metal force unleash "Abuse Myself I Wanna Die" single; third album "The Third Nail" out in April!

Following the announcement of their third full-length album “The Third Nail”, due out on April 3rd, 2026 via Adirondack Black Mass, Italian black metal force MALAURIU unleash a new single: “Abuse Myself I Wanna Die”, a reinterpretation of the notorious track by GG Allin.

With this cover, the band pays tribute to one of the most extreme and controversial figures of the underground scene, reshaping the song through their own sonic identity. In MALAURIU’s version, the nihilistic urgency of the original is transformed into a darker and more abrasive form, where black metal ferocity intertwines with the raw, primitive spirit of punk, offering another glimpse into the direct and visceral approach that also defines the band’s upcoming album.

The record represents a bold evolution for the band, merging the raw intensity of black metal with a punk-infused aggression, while showcasing meticulous attention to detail in a warm, organic production that brings out the full depth of the compositions.

Recorded between Italy and the UK from 2024 to 2025, “The Third Nail” is the result of over a decade of dedication to the rawest and most primitive essence of black metal. The album features eight original tracks alongside a ferocious cover of GG Allin, which further highlights the band’s punk attitude and includes guest appearances by Dr. Heathen Scum (Mentors, USA) and Diego Do'Urden (Mystifier).

The album’s artwork draws on Sicilian traditions where the sacred and the profane collide, from blood-stained processions to brutal reenactments of the Crucifixion, creating a ritualistic atmosphere where faith is intertwined with horror, gore, and the occult.

Mixing was handled by Carlo Altobelli at Toxic Basement Studio (Italy), a recognized figure in extreme underground production, while mastering was completed at Necromorbus Studio (Sweden), famed for work with acts like Mayhem, Watain, Funeral Mist, and Shining.

Now based in London, UK, with a solid live lineup, MALAURIU will bring “The Third Nail” to stages across Europe in 2026, delivering a live experience that amplifies the album’s dark intensity and ritualistic energy.
