A new era for Noise in Myself has officially begun.
The Italian-Swiss Alternative Progressive Metal band returns to the scene with a completely renewed lineup and “The Maze”, an intense new single released by Wanikiya Record/Promotion and available on all major digital platforms.
After a period of hiatus and extensive internal restructuring, founder, guitarist, and songwriter Enea Maina rebuilt the project by bringing together highly experienced musicians with diverse artistic backgrounds, creating a lineup that marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band.
The new lineup features:
- Enea Maina – Guitar & Songwriting
- Arianna Bellinaso (Aexylium) – Vocals
- Yuri Bordonali (Ecastor) – Bass
- Omar Mariani (former Those Furious Flames) – Drums
“The Maze” represents the first step in this artistic rebirth and addresses one of the deepest and most universal themes of human experience: the labyrinth of the mind.
Through a refined parallel with the Greek myth of Ariadne and Theseus, the song explores the complexity of inner conflicts, emotional sacrifice, feelings of disorientation, and the difficult search for serenity.
The narrative is inspired by the version of the myth in which Ariadne helps Theseus escape the labyrinth using her famous thread, only to be abandoned later on the island of Naxos. From this story emerges a powerful psychological metaphor: the labyrinth becomes the human mind, the Minotaur represents one’s inner demons, and Ariadne’s thread symbolizes the attempt to find a way out of pain and confusion.
The first part of the story highlights the struggle against personal demons and the tendency to sacrifice oneself for people who do not deserve such devotion. This is followed by the desolation of abandonment and the loss of meaning, eventually leading to the true revelation: peace is not found by endlessly fighting one’s demons, but by learning to accept them and live alongside them.
Ariadne’s final ascension alongside Dionysus thus becomes a symbol of reconciliation with one’s true self, spiritual growth, and the achievement of a new level of awareness. The crown that transforms into the constellation Corona Borealis metaphorically represents the enlightenment attained after successfully navigating one’s own personal labyrinth.
Musically, “The Maze” confirms and expands the sonic identity of Noise in Myself: an atmospheric Alternative Progressive Metal sound rich in emotional depth and compositional sophistication, where melodic vocals intertwine with powerful riffs and intricate rhythmic structures.
The influence of bands such as Tool, Leprous, Soen, Anathema, and Porcupine Tree naturally emerges within a musical proposal that maintains a strong personality and a clear artistic vision.
With “The Maze”, Noise in Myself are not simply presenting a new lineup: they are declaring their return—more mature, self-aware, and determined than ever before.
The labyrinth is open.
The journey begins again.
BIOGRAPHY
Noise in Myself (NIM) is an Italian-Swiss band born from an idea conceived by Enea Maina, guitarist and songwriter from the Lugano region.
Active since 2020, NIM quickly established its artistic identity with the release of its debut album in 2022, followed by the concept EP “Answers…” in 2023, supporting both releases with an intense live activity.
After several lineup changes and a temporary interruption of activities at the end of 2024, the project was completely revitalized by Enea Maina with a new lineup featuring Arianna Bellinaso (Aexylium), Yuri Bordonali (Ecastor), and Omar Mariani (former Those Furious Flames).
Their sound blends Alternative Metal and Progressive Metal into a modern and emotional mix characterized by evocative atmospheres, melodic research, and introspective lyrics dealing with themes such as self-discovery, absence, personal growth, and the relationship between mythology and human consciousness.
“The Maze” is the first chapter of the new era of Noise in Myself.
