Italian dark ritualists PONTE DEL DIAVOLO have unveiled “Il Veleno della Natura”, the second single from their forthcoming full-length album De Venom Natura, due out February 13, 2026 via Season of Mist.
Serving as one of the album’s central invocations, “Il Veleno della Natura” distills the core philosophy behind De Venom Natura: nature as both creator and corrupter, where poison is not a threat but an essential, transformative force. The track pushes the band’s blackened post-punk foundation into deeper and more complex territory, further developing the dual-bass interplay and raw, live-recorded intensity that define the album’s sound.
Musically, the song captures PONTE DEL DIAVOLO’s alchemical fusion of doom, black metal, post-punk, and wave. Intertwining basslines form a grainy, physical backbone, while shimmering guitars and ritualistic percussion build an atmosphere of mounting tension. Vocalist Erba del Diavolo moves fluidly between hushed confession and fervent invocation, evoking a sense of sensual decay and ecstatic transformation.
Lyrically, “Il Veleno della Natura” embraces surrender to the venom of existence, merging desire, dissolution, and rebirth. Lines such as “Io mi voglio avvelenare col più soffice dei baci, poi morire per amore” frame poison as intimacy and transcendence. The devil emerges as a symbolic threshold between reason and instinct, guiding the passage into dissolution and renewal. Within the album’s wider arc, the track represents a pivotal moment where poison shifts from metaphor to embodiment, reflecting the eternal cycle of life, death, and resurgence that lies at the heart of De Venom Natura.
