Inchiuvatu (Sicilian: Nailed) is a Sicilian musical group combining symphonic black metal mixed with Sicilian folk melodies, also played with fiscalettu (a traditional Sicilian flute) and a strong prominence of the piano.
Almost all lyrics are sung in Sicilian language,[5] except for some occasional incursion in English and Italian.
The sound of Inchiuvatu is often compared with that of many other symphonic black metal bands like Emperor or Dimmu Borgir, but their peculiar attitude and continuous link with the Sicilian traditions make their compositions unique.
The principal lyrical themes are sex, Christianity, anti-Christianity, and existential drama, synthesised with the expression "Drama-Sex-Christ".
"Inchiuvatu" (nailed) isn't related only to Jesus but express the inability of man to face and sort out the great existential question of the meaning of life.[6]
