Watch new video "Black Witch Mountain"
Supernaughty's forthcoming third album, "Apocalypso", marks a turning point in the Livorno-based foursome's sound, who returns louder, heavier, and more metallic than before. The album’s title draws a parallel between the myth of nymph Calypso — who held Odysseus captive on her island for years before setting him free — and a recent dark chapter in modern human history. "In the aftermath of the global health crisis, Apocalypso refers to a shared feeling of confinement and longing for liberation: we all, in a way, became Odysseus in isolation," says the band.
The album artwork was created by renowned Italian illustrator Luca SoloMacello, whose distinctive visuals blending dark surrealism, mythological references, and psychedelic motifs have become iconic within the stoner and doom metal scene. His work on the band's 2020 album "Temple" was featured among the 100 best album covers of the year in Heavy Music Artwork's “Masterpieces 2020” book.
About the song, the band says: “Black Witch Mountain tells the timeless tension between opposing forces that clash yet define each other: the witch is not just a threat, but the keeper of a power that pushes men to confront themselves and transcend their own limits. It’s a song about the inner battle between the seductive chaos and the fragile order we all carry within us.”
"Apocalypso" was recorded by Nicola Giorgetti at Indipendente Recording Studio (Matelica, Italy), with vocals tracked by Matteo Barsacchi (Mr. Bison) at Blotch Recording Studio (Cecina, Italy), and mixed and mastered by Karl Daniel Lidén (Dozer, Greenleaf) in Sweden.

Supernaughty is a powerhouse stoner metal quartet from Livorno, Italy, forged in 2014 by underground scene veterans: Filippo Del Bimbo (lead guitar), Alessio Franceschi (drums), Angelo Fagni (vocals/rhythm guitar), and Luca Raffoni (bass). After years of sharpening their skills in Italy’s indie rock and heavy circuits, the four musicians officially gathered in 2013, cutting their teeth on Sabbath-worship before conjuring their own riff-heavy anthems.
Supernaughty’s sound is a molten blend of stoner rock, sludge, grunge, and hard rock—built on colossal, hypnotic riffs, raw guitar tones, and hook-laden choruses. Drawing from the desert grooves of Kyuss, the swagger of Orange Goblin, and the dark melodies of Alice in Chains, their music has been hailed as “sleazy blues rock” and “acidic, psychedelic fuzz" with “a groove reminiscent of biker gangs”. Lyrically, they warp sci-fi tales, B-movie madness, and surreal personal narratives through vocalist Angelo Fagni’s warped yet vivid storytelling.
After carving their name into the stoner rock underground with the self-released "Welcome to My V" (2015), and acclaimed LPs "Vol. 1" (2018) and "Temple" (2020) via Argonauta Records, Supernaughty is poised for their next chapter—signing with powerhouse label Ripple Music in 2024 for their upcoming third studio album "Apocalypso". Supernaughty are known for their explosive and gritty live shows, having toured extensively across Italy and Europe, sharing the stage with international acts such as Fatso Jetson, High on Fire, Zeke, and Nebula.
