    It has been since the time of the historians Nihili Locus that a band, from Turin city and its province, did not capture so much interest, perhaps thanks to the name of the quintet that takes inspiration from one of the most famous legends of the Lanzo Valley's folklore, land of origin of Join This Order and many of its contributors.

    “Mystery of Mystery” is the Mcd of artists who express their propensity for Darkness in an original, completely personal way and with clear artistic maturity. The intro is the mysterious speech by Gustavo Adolfo Rol (a controversial character who lived in Turin city who has often been labelled as a psychic although he did not like this name), about the terror that the understanding of the link that unites the colour green transmitted to him, the fifth musical note and heat, recorded by Giuditta Dembech in one of her recurring talks with the Master Rol. "I" is a song that combines Raw Black Metal with a refined guitar riffing, the sound is very powerful and the voice of Erba del Diavolo elevates it with its rituality to a perfect soundtrack, a pure expression of devotion to the one divinity, our I. "The Wickedness Woman in the World" convincingly explores the world of Doom and highlights the excellent technical skills of all the members of the band, her rhythmic and leaden intercession alternates with reasoned Black Metal outbursts that never hijack speed too sustained. Here too the voice emerges for its evocativeness and magic, by an interpretative ability of the highest level ... a very pleasant discovery! Now we need to hear the next studio album from Ponte del Diavolo, trusting in more songs..... for the moment our congratulations to the band.
