FFO means “For Fans Of” and is not always needed, but can be very helpful in promoting lesser known bands.

Incredible demo and one of my all-time favorite records: Maleficarum's Demo '97 from Perugia, Italy (media.piefed.social)

Italy may not have the same track record as Finland or Sweden, but bands like Cenotaph, Catacomb, Electrocution, and Maleficarum produced incredible, albeit limited, output that rivals Scandinavian greats, IMO.

This demo is melodic exactly when it needs to be, aggressive when it needs to be, impressively consistent, and envelopes me like a living, breathing wave of darkness every time I listen to it.

It's not on any streaming service AFAIK, but someone uploaded a copy on YT, and you can always of course find it on Soulseek.

Fucking incredible, particularly that second track, it uses the more groovey/melodic elements to actually ENHANCE the atmosphere.
