Noveria will release the new album “Becoming After” on August 21 through Scarlet Records.
Built upon Noveria’s unmistakable blend of prog power metal, modern heaviness, grandiose atmospheres, and breathtaking musicianship, “Becoming After” pushes the band into unexplored territory – darker, deeper, yet more alive than ever.
Massive choruses collide with crushing riffs, epic soundscapes meet technical intensity, while passionate vulnerability stands proudly beside pure aggression.
Every riff, every orchestration, every scream and melody carries the weight of real battles lived through the fire and survived with scars turned into strength.
With this new record, and a deeply renewed line-up, Noveria return heavier, more cinematic and emotional, and definitely fearless!
