LINISTIT – interview

Introduce your band, and describe your latest release:

The band Linistit was born in 2012 from an idea of Claudio Pluchino (Angelus – rhythm guitar) and Maria Spada (Triria – voice).

The two together compose the first four tracks based on black and death metal. This is for them the first experience of extreme music composition, made with commitment but without expectations.

Between 2013 and 2014 Angelus and Triria decide to search for the remaining members to try to form a band. The rehearsals begin with some musicians, but you can not find a proper musical and compositional harmony. The Linistit project has been shelved for a while.

In 2016 it resumed with the entry of guitarist Vincenzo Abbate (Katros – solo guitar), with which a strong unity of group spirit is born. In 2017 the three complete the line-up with the addition of Michele Barrano (Black Beast – drums ex Throne Of Molok) and Paolo Baglieri (Damevil – bass). In May 2022 the bassist leaves the band for personal reasons, and the new bassist Claudio D’angelo (Valak) takes his place.

The full training begins a serious work on the project, maintaining a good rhythm of rehearsals and musical composition. The work of the five members gives rise to six songs plus an intro.

In 2018, Linistit released their first music video for the song Linistit.

Meanwhile, the six tracks and the intro for their first album, ‘Evil Arises’ are completed. In February 2021 comes another music video, “Anneliese”, these two songs are part of the album Evil Arises that will be released on March 5, 2021 for Volcano Records. In August 2022 the band starts to produce new tracks, for a particular track, “Rose Of Eden Garden”, music video has been produced.

The last release is Rose Of Eden Garden, released through Volcano Records & Promotions in February 13th 2025. The new single is available on all digital platforms and include also a videoclip on Youtube.

What’s the hardest part about being a band in this day and age?

Today the music industry usually search for artists that already have many followers on social media, we understand this but also we not agree to the way some of them doing this. Today they care more about how many followers you have than the quality of your music. But of course there are some exceptions.

When did you realise that your project had the potential to be much more than just a fun idea?

We always believe that our music is special and unique in the metal environment. We always take it seriously and we want to make it great.

Tell us about your latest release, why should we check it out?

The last release is Rose Of Eden Garden, released through Volcano Records & Promotions in February 13th 2025, it’s very interesting not only for the melody of the song that easily enters in your head, but also for the videoclip, we are sure you will enjoy it so much.

How does a song typically come together for you?

Usually the writing process is made by Angelus for the rhythmic guitar riffs that become the base to build a track, so then the others add their riffs and Triria write the lyrics, we are taking inspiration from personal experiences, personal dreams and spiritual things, horror movies..

How would you describe your sound to an unfamiliar reader?

Dark, melodic, unique and easily recognizable.

What do you want listeners to take away from listening to your band?

We want them to enjoy our music and beaing honest but also that they find something that represents them.

Where would you really like to tour that you haven’t done so yet, and why?

We would like to tour in Europe and abroad Europe.

How would you say that the sound of your band has progressed over the years?

Due to practice every week we always try to come out with new ideas and stuffs that include also the sound of the band and of every single member.

How excited are you for 2025, and what can fans expect from you?

We are really excited for 2025, either for our last release either because we are planning some gigs around Sicily, Italy and abroad.
