Behind The Tracks: Linistit - Rose Of Eden Garden (Single) (2025)

With Rose of Eden Garden, Linistit delves into a world of gothic allure and forbidden love, delivering a melodic black/death metal track steeped in dark romanticism. Released through Volcano Records, the single draws inspiration from the tales of Mircalla Karnstein, the vampire heroine from Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla. The narrative explores the obsessive love of a mortal who pleads with Mircalla to transform him into a creature of the night, freeing him from the constraints of human mortality and the dogmas of Christian religion.

 

Musically, Rose of Eden Garden showcases the band’s ability to balance brutality with melody. Claudio Pluchino and Vincenzo Abbate craft haunting, intertwining guitar lines, while Michele Barrano’s drumming drives the track’s relentless energy. Maria Spada’s vocals alternate between ethereal and ferocious, embodying both the seductive allure and the feral nature of the vampire protagonist.

 

Formed in 2012, Linistit has steadily evolved, blending influences from bands like Agathodaimon, Cradle of Filth, and Taake. This new release marks a step forward for the band, highlighting their growing mastery of atmosphere and storytelling. The accompanying music video enhances the song’s themes with a visceral, sensual aesthetic that pulls the viewer into a timeless battle between love, faith, and the hunger for eternal life.
