LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST
Fanciulli D​’​Occidente

LAETITIA IN HOLOCAUST was born in 2001 by Stefano G. and Nicola D.A. and nowadays plays a technical and progressive form of extreme metal with heavy influences from black metal. "Laetitia" means happiness, "holocaust" means sacrifice: so the moniker stands for "happiness in sacrifice".
Main sources of inspiration lie in somber visions, past times, dream omens, philosophy, darkness and war.

LIH's fifth full album - after an interesting effort such as the EP "I Fall With The Saints" released in 2021 - is entitled “FANCIULLI D’OCCIDENTE”, and the title is both a memorandum and a wish.
A memorandum for today's people of any age: the visions and values of those who shaped the history of Europe, that is, its children, our ancestors, are sacred and cannot be lost. A wish for our children: may you be worthy of the blood shed by the Children of the West.

LIH plays a blend of avantgarde black metal rooted in the visions created by acts such as Ved Buens Ende, later Spite Extreme Wing or the mighty Mayhem in their "Grand Declaration Of War" vibes
