Wicked Wave will release their self-titled album on 6 November 2026, bringing eight tracks from the Italian melodic death metal band to major digital platforms. A CD edition will also be available through the band’s usual channels and at their live shows.

Eight songs from Milan

The album opens with “Everlasting Hatred” and continues through “Baphomet’s Smile”, “Eternal Flame” and “Feast of Woe”. The second half features “S.I.O.M”, “Revenge”, “Eden & Hell” and “The Great Offering”.

The release follows Wicked Wave’s 2022 EP, “From the Abyss”. The band formed in Milan in 2022 and currently combines vocalist Cristina Balzano with drummer Mek, guitarist Marco Gilardoni and guitarist Davide Bos, who joined in 2024.

Cristina Balzano has sung since 2022

Cristina Balzano has been Wicked Wave’s vocalist since the band formed in 2022. Her role places her at the front of the group’s move from the “From the Abyss” EP to its first full-length album. The band’s music is rooted in melodic death metal, with heavy metal also listed among its styles.

The digital edition of “Wicked Wave” will be available from 6 November. Listeners who want the physical version can contact the band directly or buy the CD at one of their live shows.
