Caronte is an Italian Occult Doom band, formed in 2011, in Parma, by the three brothers Bones; Dorian, Henry and Tony and by the eccentric drummer Mike De Chirico. That has consistently drawn lyrical inspiration from the writings of Aleister Crowley and the primitive forms of Shamanism around the world. Over the years, they have released 4 albums and 3 EPs under the German label Van Records. Their latest full-length album, Wolves of Thelema, came out in 2019, while their most recent EP, which features collaborations with Schammasch, King Dude, Fides Inversa, and Our Survival Depends On Us, was released in 2022. After several European tours and performances at major international festivals, Caronte will release their fifth album, SPIRITUS, in March 2025, once again under Van Records.
