ANNOUNCEMENT: Marea signs with Hypnotic Dirge Records for upcoming album

Posted by Hypnotic Dirge Records on Thursday, March 5, 2026 Under: Marea
Marea — meaning "Tide" in Italian — is the one-man project of Matteo Balzarini from Legnano, in northern Italy. Marea delivers a haunting blend of atmospheric black metal, post-black, dsbm, and doom metal, interwoven with more intimate, dreamy passages featuring acoustic guitar and post-rock sections.


Marea uses these different musical styles to try to convey different feelings, from nostalgia to anguish, from hope to despair and transport the listeners on an introspective and emotional sonic journey, using music as a means to paint this landscape of contrasting moods. 

The first album, "The Silence of Rust", was released through Masked Dead Records in 2024, followed in 2025 by the EP "Adrift”. 

This autumn, Hypnotic Dirge Records and Masked Dead Records will jointly release the second full-length album.

Album title, cover art, physical formats and first single coming soon! "
