About Benthos

Benthos is an experimental progressive metal band from Milan, Italy. Formed in 2018, the quintet gained recognition in the Italian metal scene by opening for The Contortionist in 2019 in their home country. Their debut album, “II”, released in 2021, is defined by its technical edge, complex rhythms, and heavy, dynamic guitar work balanced with serene, melodic interludes. Benthos’ live performances, described as hypnotic and chaotic, have taken them across Italy and Europe, including a notable appearance at Milan’s Dissonance Festival in 2023. While working on their sophomore record “From Nothing”, Benthos signed with label InsideOutMusic, which marks a significant milestone for the Italian band. Their first single output under their new label, “Fossil”, was met with great praise and interest within the modern progressive music scene for their upcoming record. “From Nothing” will be the band’s second album and will be released April 11^th, 2025, via InsideOutMusic.
