Svart Vinter is an Italian Black Metal band formed in Rome in 2021 by members of the band Veil of Conspiracy. Drawing inspiration from the classic Norwegian black metal scene of the 1990s, the band's name, meaning "black winter" in Swedish and Norwegian, reflects the bleak and atmospheric qualities of their music.
Though relatively new to the scene, Svart Vinter has quickly established themselves in the underground black metal community. Their debut album, Mist (2022), received critical acclaim for its raw intensity and evocative atmosphere. The album captures the essence of traditional Black Metal while adding a fresh, emotional depth.
Svart Vinter's sound is characterized by haunting melodies, cold, sharp riffs, and a powerful, relentless rhythm section. Their lyrics delve into themes of nature, isolation, and existential struggle, exploring both the beauty and the darkness of the natural world and the human condition. With poetic, introspective lyrics, Svart Vinter creates an immersive experience that resonates deeply with listeners, reflecting on the human spirit's search for meaning in an indifferent and often hostile universe. Their music is more than just a reflection of Black Metal's harsh sound—it's a journey
through darkness, atmosphere, and emotion, a tribute to the genre's past while looking toward its future.
Over the years, Svart Vinter have shared the stage with renowned acts such as Batushka and Absu, and performed at major events including the Frantic Fest 2023, sharing the bill with Harakiri for the Sky, Rotting Christ, I Am Morbid, and many others. Their intense and immersive live performances have further solidified their reputation as one of the most promising bands in the European underground scene.
Svart Vinter's new album, titled Isvind, was released by the Dutch label Non Serviam Records on May 30th, 2025.
