Italian power metal stalwarts ALTERIUM have released their rendition of SYMPHONY X’s iconic track “Paradise Lost”, now available digitally on all major platforms.

Originally born as a playful experiment and now included in the CD edition of the new “Stormrage” EP, the cover stands as a heartfelt tribute to one of the bands that most profoundly influenced the Italian group.

Its release comes just days before ALTERIUM’s appearance at ProgPower USA – the very same edition headlined by SYMPHONY X – making this homage all the more significant.

The band commented:

“Our love for Symphony X’s music has always been one of the things that united us: each band member has their own musical tastes, but Symphony X are the perfect common ground. This cover wasn’t planned at all, it came about almost as a game. When Symphony X were later announced as the headliners of ProgPower USA – the same edition we’ll also be part of – we took it as a sign that this cover really had to be released. So we included it on the CD version of the ‘Stormrag’e EP, and today we’re releasing it digitally, just a few days before meeting our idols.”

The EP is currently available in exclusive physical formats:

• Digipack CD, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, featuring two bonus tracks
• 7” Vinyl, released in three colored variants, each limited to 100 hand-numbered copies

Preorders: https://alterium.bigcartel.com/

To support the release, ALTERIUM have embarked on a series of select shows and festivals across Europe and will make their highly anticipated US debut at the ProgPower festival in Atlanta.

This new chapter sees the band sharpening their songwriting and delivering a fresh burst of adrenaline that both longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate. Epic, melodic, and unrelentingly driven, “Stormrage” reaffirms ALTERIUM’s mission to carry the torch of European metal with pride and power.

Tracklist:

1. Stormrage
2. Sui
3. Paradise Lost (Symphony X cover) – available only on the CD version
4. Of War and Flames (Orchestral version) – available only on the CD version

Italian melodic power metal force ALTERIUM unleash their brand-new EP “Stormrage” today, marking a bold new chapter in the band’s journey. To celebrate the release, the band has revealed a brand-new lyric video for the track “Sui”, now available to stream.

With “Stormrage”, ALTERIUM deliver two explosive new songs that bridge the epic soundscapes of their debut “Of War And Flames” and the powerful evolution leading into their next full-length. “Sui” channels the band’s signature blend of blazing guitars and triumphant melodies, capturing the unrelenting spirit of modern European power metal.

Singer Nicoletta Rosellini commented:

“‘Sui’ continues our journey through fire mythology that began with our debut album, this time shifting focus to ancient China, where legend tells of the discovery of fire in the mysterious land of Sui Ming. It’s one of the fastest and most intricate songs we’ve written so far: an intimate acoustic intro that evolves into an explosion of melodies, double kick drumming, and epic orchestrations. Those who got an early listen at summer festivals already embraced it warmly.”

The EP is also available in exclusive physical formats:

• Digipack CD, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, featuring two bonus tracks
• 7” Vinyl, released in three colored variants, each limited to 100 hand-numbered copies

“After the release of our debut album, we were blown away by the incredible feedback from fans and the press. Inspired by this support, we decided to release a new song as a heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who believed in us.

‘Hear My Voice’ is a deeply personal song that helped me move on from the past and strive for better. Packed with catchy synths, powerful guitars, and a sing-along chorus, it’s a must-hear for any power metal fan.”

Following previously-released songs, “Siren’s Call”, “Drag Me To Hell”, an epic cover version of Sabaton‘s “Bismarck” or just recently, their powerful title track “Of War And Flames”, today, ALTERIUM are premiering a music video for their latest single “Crossroads Inn”, a metal tribute inspired by the popular medieval tavern simulator video game!

In cooperation with video game creator Klabater, the following statement has been released:

“Welcome to Delcrys, adventurers!

The doors of the fantasy tavern are now open! To celebrate the arrival of the second chapter of the iconic video game ‘Crossroads Inn,’ Alterium wrote and recorded a track inspired by the lore of the game.

Crossroads Inn is a real-time management sim set in the immersive fantasy world of Delcrys. Players must build, manage, and expand their tavern, catering to the needs of adventurers from far and wide! The game is available on Steam, while “Crossroads Inn 2” has been announced and is currently in development – you can already add it to your wishlist!”

Singer and songwriter Nicoletta Rosellini comments: “I’m a huge fan of management video games, and I’ve spent hundreds of hours playing ‘Crossroads Inn,’ which also features great lore that inspired me to write lyrics for this track. I believe that power metal is the perfect genre to convey the funny atmosphere of a typical night at the tavern. We also recreated the whole scenery in our new music video!”

The song is now available on all digital services at https://alterium.bfan.link/crossroads-inn, the video clip is streaming here:
