Antiquus Infestus

Antiquus Infestus is an extreme metal band from Italy, blending black and death metal. Formed in 2011 as a long-distance project by Sverkel (vocals, lyrics) and Malphas (guitars, drum programming, backing vocals), they were later joined by Asmodeus (bass). Influenced by Immortal and Behemoth, their music explores desolation, societal collapse, and ancient mythology. Releases include The Light of Two Suns (2011), The Cult of Ra (2011), Order of the Star of Bethlehem (2012), and Isfet (2015). Their self-titled 2025 album marks a major shift, with Malphas taking over vocals from Sverkel, ushering in a new era for the band. In 2025, Beleth and Pontius joined Antiquus Infestus to transform the project into a fully functional band.
