TULPA are back with a fantastic second album! The guys from Parma are firmly rooted in the Italian scene and have been involved with Whiskey Ritual, Forgotten Tomb, Mother Augusta and the legendary Kirlian Camera, among others.

For the TULPA project, however, they are treading their own path with their melodic black metal, which is dedicated to the spiritual concept of Saṃsāra (in Buddhism, Saṃsāra is the sorrowful cycle of life, death and rebirth in which all beings are trapped until they attain enlightenment). On "Temple Of Wounds", rugged black metal with crusty vibes meets wistful melodies – a great combination of strength and attacking spirit with melancholy and fragility.

TULPA was founded in 2016 by Alessandro Coletta (vocals, guitar), Andrea Artusi (bass, backing vocals) and Kyoo Nam "Asher" Rossi (drums). After the first local show in 2017, Matteo Cordani joined the band as lead guitarist. Soon after, TULPA released their first EP "Fear Of Fades" as an independent release, and the new four-piece line-up started live activities. In 2019, the debut album "Unhealed" was released, which was rated 8/10 by Rock Hard Italy and 10/10 by Ammo-Underground.at, to mention just two. During the Covid-19 shutdown, bassist Andrea left TULPA to focus on his solo project Arcana Liturgia, whereupon the band rearranged their line-up: Matteo switched from guitar to bass, Kyoo Nam from drums to lead guitar, and Tomaso Fontanini was signed as the new drummer. In 2022, TULPA began the recording sessions for "Temple Of Wounds", which was produced by Alessandro Comerio.
