With a various background of musical influences and artistic inspirations, SVNTH (written all caps and pronounced "Seventh", formerly "Seventh Genocide") from Rome, Italy has been shaping a unique equilibrium of sounds through the years moving across a huge variety of directions on the palette of contemporary alternative music to create a distinctive soundtrack for inner emotions, life scenarios, and existentialist questioning. Expanding the energy of black and post-metal over the mellow and contemplative boundaries of shoegaze, art pop, and cinematic post-rock.
From the vivid early black gaze melodies of the debut "Breeze of Memories" (2015) to the long song structures with acoustic overtures and Godspeed You! Black Emperor inspired sections of the monumental "Toward Akina" (2017); SVNTH confirms this more complex approach on the double LP "Spring in Blue" (2020), the childhood chapter of a trilogy of colors based on emotions in different phases of life.
The upcoming "Pink Noise Youth" (2025) gets back to a more traditional song format, introducing a unique use of Indian sitar, and an array of acoustic instruments and singing expressions, which develops SVNTH to a one-of-a-kind sound and personality.
As of today, the band has done several tours and single shows all over Europe and in the USA touching even non-frequently toured countries such as Albania and Turkey and performing at notable festivals like Rockstadt and Frantic Fest, bringing a defining cathartic live energy.
