Founded in late 2011 by Alessandro Parola, Hellgeist stand as one of the most resilient forces in the Italian Thrash Metal scene. Their journey began with the raw urgency of the EP What a Hell (2012) and evolved through a prestigious collaboration with Trevor (Sadist) under Nadir Music, the label that launched their first self-titled full-length album.

Despite line-up changes and natural hiatuses, the band’s pulse never faltered. Following the return of original frontman Luca “Juma” Serra and the release of dark, haunting singles like Religoff and Murder Fog, 2025 marks the definitive turning point. The arrival of high-calibre musicians Elia Dutto (Ultra-Violence) and Samuele Peirano (AnthenorA) has injected new blood and steel-clad technique into the band’s engine.

Currently back in the studio, Hellgeist are preparing to unleash a new EP destined to redefine their sonic boundaries: more mature, more technical, and more ruthless than ever.
