Salmo announces the album “Hellvisback 10 Years Later”. The lead single “10AD” out tonight

Ten years after the release of “Hellvisback”, the album that in 2016 marked a clean break in the history of Italian rap, Salmo announces a new project that brings that experience back into focus without turning it into a nostalgia exercise. “Hellvisback” was a turning point for the language, sound and ambitions of the national scene, pushing a radical aesthetic and an uncompromising artistic vision into the mainstream. With over 200,000 copies sold, the album left a deep mark on the imagination of a whole generation of artists, redrawing the boundaries of Italian rap toward greater expressive freedom and bolder contamination.

In 2026, ten years on, Salmo returns to that universe with “Hellvisback 10 Years Later” (Sony Music Italy), out April 3rd. The project includes three previously unreleased tracks and is entirely produced by the artist. The artwork picks up and reworks the original iconography: the mask, already central to the 2016 album, resurfaces as a key symbol within a new aesthetic that filters the past through a decade of personal and artistic evolution.

Opening the journey is “10 AD”, available from February 6th. The track, written and produced by Salmo, comes across as a direct, unmediated manifesto, able to weave together autobiography and social observation. The black-and-white video reinforces its stark, cutting character.

Alongside the new album, Salmo will also return to the stage at the major summer festivals. The dates already announced will see him perform on June 12th in Florence, July 2nd in Padua, July 10th in Naples, July 12th in Asti and July 25th in Sardinia, at the Ippodromo di Arzachena, for a date loaded with symbolic weight in his home region.
