After unveiling the first previews of their debut album over the past months, NOVOMUNDO now reveal the final chapter before the full release of “The Cursed Cult”, set for March 1st, 2026. The Roman band present “Maitresse La Sirene”, the last single ahead of the album’s release — a track that both encapsulates and expands the artistic vision developed throughout the project’s journey.
With “Maitresse La Sirene”, NOVOMUNDO delve deeper into their distinctive sonic language, preserving the balance between aggression and atmosphere that defines their sound. Massive riffs and driving grooves intertwine with darker, ritualistic passages, while melodic layers and tribal-inspired textures emerge with striking intensity, shaping a track that feels both visceral and immersive. The single marks another step forward in the band’s evolution, highlighting their ability to merge extreme influences with a strong compositional identity and a narrative approach fully aligned with the album’s concept.
As the final preview before release day, “Maitresse La Sirene” sets the stage for “The Cursed Cult”, NOVOMUNDO’s first full-length album — a dark and immersive work inspired by Voodoo culture, exploring its symbols, rituals, and mythology through a contemporary lens.

NOVOMUNDO was born near Rome around 2012 with the idea to blend heavy and groovy music textures alongside various influences, rhythms, and instruments from all over the world. After some line-up changes over the years, the band rewrote and refined some of their previous material, releasing "Echoes of Ego": four songs focused on mid-paced ferocity and exotic grooves, with themes exploring modern world decay, primeval instincts, and nightmarish visions.
"The Cursed Cult" represents the band’s first full-length effort: a darker and more crushing take on their renewed sound. The album explores Voodoo culture, its symbols and meanings, interpreted through the lens of contemporary life. Fourteen tracks of ferocity and raw energy blend dark ambient passages with a rotten edge, fusing death-groove and 2000s metal influences enriched by modern tones and crust-core elements.
The album is a concept piece centered on Voodoo — its mysteries, rituals, and symbolic icons. Lyrically, it touches on slavery, prejudice, and death as a way to give value to life, among other themes. Across the tracks, listeners are guided through the pantheon of Voodoo deities, called Loa, exploring their stories and traits as metaphors to convey the album’s core messages. The soundscape of NOVOMUNDO evokes emotional instability and a sense of unease, symbolizing the fear stemming from ignorance and unfamiliarity.
