Review
Supernaughty celebrate their signing to Ripple Music with their heaviest and grooviest record to date with the band fully finding the right balance between Stoner Metal grooves and added Sludge Rock heaviness. Their latest record Apocalypso has a certain Doom & Gloom heaviness with a Grunge/Fuzz Rock sound developing that is influenced by the likes of KYUSS, FU MANCHU, LOWRIDER and DOZER. On this form you would think Supernaughty were part of the Californian and Swedish Heavy Rock underground scene as they follow the creative fabrics of those legendary scenes superbly well on this album but still developing and nurturing their own heavy sound.
The record is helped by first rate production values that gives Supernaughty a stylish energy which results in some heavy Psychedelic passages with sinister levels of FUZZ creeping in from your stereo. The instrumental melodies become part of the DOOM METAL world that slowly starts to creep in on the excellent batch of opening tracks such as Poseidon, Witch Mountain and Amsterdamned. The lyrics has a lot of clever wordplay which you can tell by some of the devilishly funny song titles which shows that the band haven’t lost their superb sense of humour even if the music is played quite seriously.
There are moments where the record ventures into areas of NOLA and METALLIC based music and it’s quite a refreshing change of pace with stylish bursts of aggression and melody proving that Supernaughty have matured brilliantly since their last record Temple released back in 2020. The songwriting has more character, depth and shows a band who have a commanding presence to them.
Frontman Angelo Fagni has grown considerably into the lead singer role on Apocalypto and delivers his strongest vocal performance to date especially on tracks such as Amsterdamned, Weird Science, Queen Of Babylon and the excellent final title track of Apocalypto. Angelo is once again surrounded by the Supernaughty brotherhood of Filippo Del Bimbo (Guitar), Alessio Franceschi (Drums) and Luca Raffoni (Bass) who have also improved musically and technically for the better on this record. The evidence is there for everyone to feel and hear with intense and highly precise musical grooves and extended instrumental passages.
Apocalypto still allows Supernaughty to inject a slice of SLEAZY heaviness into the mix which gives the record a more outrageous and dangerous feeling especially when the heavier and fuzzed up sounds appear always at the right moment. This is the type of record that could allow Supernaughty to achieve bigger and better things within the Stoner Metal scene and beyond. With a record packed full of great tracks that any band would be proud to have in their musical arsenal.
Yeah, this is a superbly entertaining record that deserves everyone’s full attention and maximum respect!!!

Italian Stoner Metal unit SUPERNAUGHTY to issue new album "Apocalypso" on Ripple Music this August; watch "Black Witch Mountain" video now!
Watch new video "Black Witch Mountain"
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 "Apocalypso" - Out August 22nd on Ripple Music (LP/CD/digital)
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.
