Progressive Power Metal veterans Noveria have released a video for the song ‘Broken’, the first single taken from their new album ‘Aequilibrium’, which will be released on October 25th, 2019 on Scarlet Records.
Watch the video here:
‘Aequilibrium’ marks the third chapter of Noveria’s musical journey by further refining the band’s signature sound into a massive cinematic experience. The lyrics will take you from the middle of a massive earthquake to the darkest corners of the human mind, all the way to discovering a brand new life after losing everything that mattered.
Virtuoso guitar solos, full throttle riffs and blasting drum grooves merge with beautiful melodic vocal lines and choruses, while the atmospheric keyboards and orchestrations give it an intense and powerful feel. ‘Aequilibrium’ takes the Progressive Power Metal standards to a whole new level and showcases the band’s finest songwriting, top notch musicianship and overall Metal mastery.
The cover art is based on an original oil painting by an Italian contemporary artist, and created by Brasilian graphic designer Vini. ‘Aequilibrium’ has been mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni (DGM).

{tab=title="BIOGRAPHY" class="orange"}
Prog metal band Noveria was formed in 2014 when guitarist Francesco Mattei returned to Italy after four years in pilgrimage for metal in Finland.
Our goal is to create a complete headbanging experience with a melodic twist through our music, combining massive guitar riffs with atmospheric keyboards on top along with techincally challenging solos. Our main sources of inspiration come from genres like Symphonic, Industrial and Death Metal.
While our first release Risen (Scarlet Records, 2014) told the stories of people trying to survive in a world that seems to put all odds against you, our new album, Forsaken (to be released on Scarlet Records on the 28th of October), focuses on the emotional struggle of a single person facing a life-threatening illness, taking things to a much more personal level. Forsaken is a concept album written around the theory of five stages of death (the Kubler model): Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Risen had a warm welcome from critics and metal fans alike and was chosen Best Metal Newcomer of the year 2014 by Metalunderground.com.
The original lineup saw Emanuele Casali (DGM, Astra) on keyboards. Since 2016 Emanuele has moved on to work on his other numerous projects and now Julien Spreutels (Epysode, Ethernity) has taken his place in the band. Julien proved a great resource and inspiration for the band and with his collaboration the new album soon started taking shape!
In August 2016 we returned to Domination Studio in San Marino to record our second album. Thanks to the expertise of Simone Mularoni in curating both mix and master, we feel that the sound of Noveria on Forsaken is more solid than ever.
While Risen brought us to make a minitour in the north of Italy in addition to a few sold out gigs in and nearby Rome, we have bigger plans for the future! Stay tuned to see where the road takes us next!
