Rockshots Records is excited to unveil “Wolves At The Door”, the new single from MARGANTHA, taken from their upcoming debut EP “Blood Moon Sacrifice“, out next June 27th, 2025.
Following the evocative atmospheres of the previous single “Curse Of The Full Moon“, this new track delves into a defining moment of the EP’s conceptual arc.
As the band explains:
“‘Wolves At The Door’ tells the story of when the villagers, isolated beneath the shadow of the mountains, finally come face to face with the horror they’ve feared—not a pack but a single, relentless werewolf. A nocturnal and primal being whose thirst for flesh evokes the terror of an entire horde.”
The song opens with a dark riff laced with exotic nuances, immediately setting a mysterious and foreboding tone. The central section evolves with a powerful melodic death metal influence, introducing new shades of aggression and tension. Balancing speed, melody, and black metal fury, the track offers a powerful and dynamic blend, at once brutal and atmospheric.
“This creature is more than just a legend—it’s a force that devours silence and sows panic. With this song, we wanted to translate the fear of the hunt, the chaos of uncertainty. The riffs alternate between menace and urgency, while the vocals embody both the predator and the prey,” the band continues.
True to MARGANTHA’s creative ethos, the songwriting began with the concept. Each musical decision was guided by narrative intent, prioritizing mood over technicality. The result is a visceral, cinematic experience where no element is superfluous—every note drives the story forward.
“Wolves At The Door” was mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studio, whose precise production further intensifies the song’s sharp contrasts and layered textures.
MARGANTHA’s sound lies at the crossroads of Mgła’s atmospheres, Uada’s drive, Gaerea’s emotional weight, and the classic aggression of Venom and Behemoth. With “Blood Moon Sacrifice“, the band delivers a debut that fuses ancestral myth with the raw immediacy of modern black metal.
With this new chapter, MARGANTHA invites listeners deeper into the legend, where every shadow hides a truth and every door could open to a monster.

BIOGRAPHY:
Margantha is an Italian-Finnish band formed by three musicians united by a passion for black metal and horror aesthetics. The project aims to create a powerful, evocative, and dramatic sound inspired by bands like Mgła, Ensiferum, Behemoth, and 1349, while incorporating atmospheric and melodic elements into their approach.
The band’s sound is a haunting and captivating tribute to black metal, enriched with lyrics inspired by horror and Gothic atmospheres reminiscent of the 19th century. Their music evokes a journey into the darkest and most mysterious corners of the soul, characterized by somber tones and lyrics that delve into the macabre and the supernatural.
Margantha draws inspiration from art in all its forms: from the literature of Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, and Stevenson, to the paintings of Caravaggio, Bosch, and Turner. The band’s visual identity also reflects this artistic inclination, with carefully crafted photos designed to mimic the style of classical paintings, aligning with the dark and ominous atmospheres central to the project.
Born from the union of two distinct cultures, Italian and Finnish, Margantha blends the musical and artistic traditions of both countries to create a unique sonic experience.
