Ancient ritual meets crushing Doom as Italian Mystic Doom trio Maison Dieu unveil “Dio Ci Vuole Nudi,” the first single from their debut album “Città Nascosta,” out October 23rd, 2026 via Octopus Rising/Argonauta Records.
Opening with the hypnotic sound of the tagelharpa, an ancient Scandinavian instrument, “Dio Ci Vuole Nudi” initially inhabits a suspended, almost dreamlike space. Then the spell breaks. Heavy guitars, visceral Doom and Ester’s magnetic vocals drag the song into darker territory, where Psychedelic heaviness and ritualistic Folk collide.

The accompanying official video follows the same transformation, moving from sunlit landscapes, white garments and slow, almost Folkloric gestures into fire, blue light, tribal markings and an increasingly intense ritual.
At its core, “Dio Ci Vuole Nudi” is about stripping away everything artificial and returning to something primal: the earth, the body and the spiritual instinct buried beneath it all.
With influences ranging from Chelsea Wolfe, Wardruna, and Nytt Land to Messa, Acid King, and Black Sabbath, Maison Dieu are carving out their own peculiar corner of the doom underground.
“Città Nascosta” will be released on CD and Digital on October 23rd, 2026 via Octopus Rising/Argonauta Records.
Emerging from Senigallia, Maison Dieu channel a powerful blend of ritualistic atmospheres, Psychedelic tension and crushing Doom weight, drawing inspiration from the haunting intensity of Chelsea Wolfe, the spiritual depth of Wardruna, and Nytt Land, and the Heavy hypnotic force of Acid King and Messa. The result is a sound that feels both ancient and modern, mystical yet devastatingly Heavy.
Driven by the magnetic presence of Ester on vocals and guitar, with Mauro on bass and vocals and Ivan on drums, the trio crafts immersive sonic landscapes where massive riffs intertwine with trance like rhythms and evocative melodies. Their lyrics move fluidly between Italian, English and a mysterious original language created by Ester, further expanding the band’s unique aura.
After the release of their EP “Herbacea” and an intense run of European shows across multiple countries, Maison Dieu are now entering the studio to shape their debut full length album, which will be released via Argonauta Records imprint Octopus Rising.
A work currently in the making, promising a deep journey through shadow, mysticism and sonic heaviness.
