Malleus is an Italian visual collective formed in 1999 by three artists who first met within the heavy rock group Ufomammut: Urlo, Poia and Lu. Based between the hills of Piedmont and the industrial plains near Turin, the trio treat illustration, silkscreen printing and graphic design as a single three headed practice, producing hand pulled posters that glow with blackened art nouveau detail, surrealist dream logic and psychedelic colour shock.

Working entirely by hand, they begin each commission with loose ink sketches that blend expressionist line, symbolism and cinema stills. These drawings are translated into layered stencils, then printed in limited runs on heavy Italian paper, building translucent glazes until flames, serpents and cosmic skies hover around their central muse: the female form, revered as primordial goddess and source of all creation. The result is a visual spell that feels both antique and futuristic, a quality sought by bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Iggy Pop and Mogwai, who have invited Malleus to create tour posters and album art that merge music and image into one hypnotic object.

Beyond rock, the collective has designed for Dario Argento films, Volvo campaigns and fashion labels like Oakley, yet they remain rooted in the underground, printing each sheet in their own studio and selling directly to fans at festivals such as Roadburn and Hellfest. By fusing artisan discipline with occult imagination, Malleus proves that a silkscreen can still be a talisman, a poster can still be art, and three minds can speak with a single, unforgettable voice.
