Italian blackened crust band laCasta present “Melma”, taken from the new album Olibanvm, out May 8, 2026 via Argonauta Records.
A journey through smoke, spirit, and inner darkness.

“Melma” is one of the most intense and visceral moments of the album, diving deep into the human psyche and exposing raw imagery and distorted reflections of contemporary society. Through evocative lyrics, the band uses “mud” as a symbol of decay, moral stagnation, and the contradictions of human nature.

Rooted in the symbolism of frankincense and the spiritual dimension of smoke, the track moves between sacred and profane, creating a dense and immersive sonic ritual that invites listeners to confront the darkest corners of their consciousness.

Blending crust hardcore urgency with black metal austerity, laCasta reaffirm their identity through a powerful and unsettling balance of sound and meaning.

For fans of: Dark Funeral, Marduk, Wiegedood, Mgła

“Melma” available on all digital platforms.
