Official Press Kit

ENOCH

ENOCH is a cult doom/death metal entity from Milan, Italy, active in the underground since the early 2000s and known for its slow, oppressive sound, ancient atmosphere and uncompromising distance from passing trends.

Across releases such as Enuma Elish La Nabu Shamu, Tetragrammaton, The Dreaming City and Sumerian Chants, ENOCH built a language made of ritual heaviness, death metal weight and funereal melodies.

New Album

No More Gods

No More Gods is the new chapter in ENOCH’s history: a raw, wounded and deeply personal album shaped by grief, silence, collapse and isolation.

Written, played and recorded during the worst period of Lorenzo’s life, the album rejects polished perfection in favour of emotional truth. Its sound is deliberately stark: slow doom/death structures, fragile melodies, suffocating atmospheres and the feeling of music dragged back from a dark rehearsal room.

There is no band chemistry here. No shared catharsis. Just one man, old wounds, and the need to make the pain sound real again.

Press Quotes

What The Underground Said

“The rhythm, slow, groovy and dark for all the duration of the album, is enriched with oriental melodies, giving the whole an evocative taste.”

“A journey through ancient atmospheres and ritual darkness, where doom and death metal become a vehicle for something older.”

“ENOCH avoid clichés and fashionable shortcuts. Their music unfolds patiently, with the confidence of a band unconcerned with trends.”

“The weight of the riffs is matched by a remarkable sense of atmosphere. This is music that prefers immersion to impact.”

“Dark, evocative and deeply ritualistic.”

“The band manages to create a world of its own, suspended between doom/death metal, ancient mythology and melancholy.”

Interviews & Philosophy

Outside Trends, Outside Scenes

Throughout its existence ENOCH has remained largely detached from scenes, movements and temporary fashions.

Interviews conducted over the years reveal a recurring theme: the refusal to simplify the music in order to make it more accessible, more commercial or more aligned with current expectations.

Rather than chasing visibility, ENOCH spent decades developing a personal language rooted in doom, death metal, ancient mythology, grief and introspection.

This independence is one of the reasons the band developed a small but loyal following within the underground, where authenticity often matters more than visibility.

Live Activity

Stages, Rehearsal Rooms And Years Underground

Although never a relentlessly touring act, ENOCH has remained active on stage throughout different periods of its existence, bringing its slow and ritualistic doom/death sound to clubs, festivals and underground events across Italy.

Over the years the band shared stages with a variety of artists from the darker side of the metal underground, including the legendary Cultus Sanguine.

Like many long-lived underground bands, ENOCH’s history is inseparable from rehearsal rooms, local venues, temporary line-ups and the slow persistence required to keep a project alive across decades.

The release of No More Gods opens a new chapter in that story: one that reconnects the band’s past with its present while remaining faithful to the spirit that shaped its earliest recordings.

Why ENOCH Matters

A Cult Name In Italian Doom/Death

In an era dominated by constant releases, social media visibility and short attention spans, ENOCH represents a different approach: records released only when necessary, music shaped over years rather than months, and an artistic identity preserved despite changing line-ups and changing times.

More than two decades after its debut, the band remains one of the enduring names of the Italian doom/death underground.
