Arimonium Rex was a symphonic death/black metal band from Rome, Lazio, Italy, known for its occult and satanic themes. Though little is publicly documented, the band contributed to the Italian underground with a ritualistic and esoteric aesthetic.
Their music likely blended orchestral arrangements with aggressive black/death metal structures, aligning with the tradition of symphonic extremity that flourished in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band was signed to MGT, a label associated with dark and experimental metal acts.
Arimonium Rex appeared on the compilation Onori Funebri – Tribute to Claudio Mariotti with the track “The Violence of the Hunter (Barbatos),” released through War Kommand Productions, Aemathien Distribution, and Wotan’s Reich Productions. This contribution suggests a reverence for Italian black metal heritage and a connection to ritual tribute culture.
The band is now listed as split-up, with no known discography beyond the compilation appearance. Their legacy remains obscure, preserved only through fragments and ceremonial echoes.
