ABOUT US

Emerald Table: Between Shadow and Sound

Born in 2015 from the creative vision of Ubaldo Formichetti (composer, producer, and guitarist) and Mauro De Angelis (lyricist, keyboardist, and violinist), Emerald Table is a musical project that boldly blends elements of Gothic, Stoner, Industrial, Progressive, Doom, Alternative, and Nu Metal. Their music offers a unique sonic journey, inspired by the contrast between light and shadow, whispers and screams, evoking the enigmatic allure of the deepest nights. The name "Emerald Table" itself alludes to the cornerstone of their artistic inspiration, drawing heavily from mythology, para-archaeology, paganism, and esotericism.


Our Evolution

The Emerald Table lineup solidified in 2018 with the addition of Ramona Festuccia on vocals, Aster on harsh vocals, and Pietro Di Mattia on bass. A pivotal moment was meeting legendary New York drummer John Macaluso (known for his collaborations with Malmsteen, ARK, TNT, Jennifer Batten, and James LaBrie), whose mastery brought a truly unique imprint to the band's compositions. In 2022, the band welcomed Giusy Marina as their new vocalist, followed by various changes on guitars and drums. Currently, the drum position is firmly held by Edoardo Maria Giordani.

Present and Future: A New Chapter

These tracks reflect a clear inclination towards even more pronounced Industrial, Stoner, and Nu Metal sounds, representing the natural evolution of their creative journey.

Black Blood

"Black Blood": The Ancient Pact That Unites

"Black Blood" is Emerald Table's latest powerful single, a track that delves into the depths of an ancestral and unbreakable bond. This song is not just music; it's a visceral narrative of an ancient pact that transcends time, memory, and convention. It represents a further confirmation of our stylistic evolution, taking the listener on a sonic journey where Industrial, Stoner, and Nu Metal sounds merge to express a universal concept of connection.

The lyrics of "Black Blood" invite reflection on a bond that flows in the veins, an immemorial oath that unites souls beyond all logic. The lyrics explore the mystery of an inescapable attraction, the feeling of recognizing someone without knowing them, guided by an intimate resonance. It's an ode to the strength of this dark and profound connection, where the only light on a dark evening resides in the other's gaze. The song evokes images of "fallen angels on Earth" bound by unknown rules, making the lyrical experience intensely evocative.

Excerpt from the lyrics: "An ancient oath, etched in Black Blood, Binds us in an unbreakable bond. It has no age, it knows no time, Without memories, yet it lives within us, It has always flowed in our veins, Inside us."

Musically, Emerald Table's "Black Blood" combines intense melodies and an enveloping rhythm with vocals that emphasize the solemnity of the pact. It's a captivating sonic experience, inviting you to feel and recognize that same indomitable energy within yourself. The track culminates in an invitation to celebrate this union, where souls, liberated, can dance to the rhythm of dark yet profoundly revealing music.

Prepare to be enveloped by the magnetic energy of "Black Blood," a single that will not only make you resonate but also question the invisible ties that connect us.

The lyrics invite you to explore the inner labyrinths of the soul, seeking the key to transcend time and embrace the courage to face the unknown.

Turn again
Through ancient signs
Turn strongly with courage"

Book of illusion's fragments

With the release of our new LP, "Book of Illusion's Fragments," a significant era for Emerald Table comes to a close. This album not only symbolizes the birth and growth of our band but also embarks on a musical journey that embraces diverse influences and styles.

"Book of Illusion's Fragments" consists of 10 tracks exploring a range of musical genres, inspired by the mystery of the emerald tablets and the hermetic writings of Hermes Trismegistus. This ancient sage is revered as the founder of hermeticism and a precursor to Hellenistic astrology.

The LP opens with the instrumental intro, "The Table," representing the chaos preceding the actual commencement of the journey. In the second track, "Elements," we delve into the elements that will guide us along the path of hermetic mystery. From "Blackwood" to "The Flood," we traverse epic gothic and metal atmospheres, exploring deviations like "Lost Memories of Life" and "Crimson Horizons & Ashen Skies" to analyze different perspectives.

The path winds through "Waiting for the Dawn," a narrative pause to explore the prophecy of "Mothman Prophecy," before walking on a frozen lake in the company of "Lady of the Icelake." The epic journey culminates with "Hermon's Chronicles," leading us finally to the conclusion of the voyage depicted in "The Flood."

We are excited to share this chapter of our musical history with you and hope that "Book of Illusion's Fragments" transports you on a unique journey through intriguing sounds and themes.

WHispers across the gardens

This work concludes a cycle of several years of experimentation and alternation, a work mainly as a study, up to now we have kept faith with mythological or decadent themes as per the tradition of the genre.

The productions that are currently taking shape are following the philosophical theme but going more direct and with electronic inserts while remaining anchored to our matrix Whispers Through the Gardens consists of 4 tracks:

THE EMPIRE: Our tribute to the most famous outcast of ancient Egypt, Akhenaten, who by a strange twist of fate found himself on the throne where no one would have bet he could reign by subverting a thousand-year-old religion.

A SHIP CALLED INSANITY: Metaphor of an existence adrift at the mercy of an inner storm where one can cling to the mast of one’s madness. It was also our first official video.

BLACK RABBIT: Creating a perfect world for the idealization of unrequited love, the protagonist gets lost in an inner labyrinth like his own spider web between fantasy and anguish!

COMA WHITE: Revisiting the famous Marilyn Manson song in our style!

The copies of the CD are ready and can be purchased on request, or during our live performances, the digital versions are available on all major streaming platforms.
