The Ossuary was founded in October, 2014; three of the four founding members were already playing together in the death metal act Natron. The new project was created in order to focus on classic heavy metal with progressive and doom influences, thus employing a different vocalist as the last band member.

The Italian word "Oltretomba" stands for the underworld but is also a tribute to the golden age of Italy's cinematic culture in the 70s and 80s with horror films by Fulci, Argento, Bava and the music of Morricone.

The magical, strong-willed and at the same time obscure attraction is also inherent in the third album of THE OSSUARY. The album tells of the various abysses of the human being, sometimes touching occult realms.

The quartet creates its own niche in hard rock, pairs the classic twin guitars with an earthy sound, classic rock elements with a certain proximity to the prog of the 70s are celebrated here with fresh power. Authenticity is placed above all common conventions.

Once again, the Italians THE OSSUARY consistently pursue and refine their own ideal of songs that make the dead dance. And it is a damn cool party, on which "Oltretomba" takes us here.

Volume on 11 and off goes the ride into the dust of a bizarre-morbid italo western...
