Dark symphonic force GODIVA unleashes a new chapter of sonic wrath with the release of “Superbeast (Live at Laurus Nobilis 2024)”, a visceral live video capturing the band’s performance at one of Portugal’s most iconic metal festivals. Ferocious, haunting, and theatrically charged — this release is a testament to the band’s commanding presence on stage.

As the echoes of Laurus still linger, GODIVA prepares for their long-awaited debut tour in Greece. The Damnation Over Greece tour will mark the band’s first-ever shows in the country, with the following dates:

November 20 – Larisa
November 21 – Ioannina
November 22 – Athens
November 23 – Patra

Produced by Angels PR Music Promotion, these shows promise a full-scale sonic ritual, merging orchestral grandeur with unrelenting metal energy.

Before heading east, GODIVA will deliver two final live performances in Portugal for 2025:

August 23 – Milagre Metaleiro (Pindelo dos Milagres)
October – Faro Alternativo Festival (Faro)

Both shows are expected to be massive farewells to the Portuguese stages this year, before the band vanishes into the dark to complete their upcoming album.

Expect the unexpected. GODIVA continues to march forward — one hymn of damnation at a time.

Dark symphonic force GODIVA return with a brand new visual chapter from their acclaimed album Hubris. The band unveils the music video for “All Seeing Eye”, a haunting and visually intense journey that dives deep into the core themes of surveillance, control, and the collapse of self-awareness.

Shot with a cinematic scope that mirrors the song’s grandiosity, the video for “All Seeing Eye” fuses the band’s trademark orchestral darkness with symbolic storytelling and striking imagery. Once again, GODIVA proves that their vision transcends music—this is a full-on sensory experience.

”‘All Seeing Eye’ is about the illusion of omnipotence and the blindness it breeds,” states [Mantis], frontperson of GODIVA. “It captures the arrogance of believing one can see and control everything—until that same gaze turns inward and everything crumbles.”

This release marks another milestone in GODIVA’s relentless final stretch promoting Hubris, an album that has taken them across Europe with fiery performances and an ever-growing legion of lost souls. Expect the unexpected.

Godiva is one of the established bands of the Portuguese Symphonic Death Metal scene.

The quintet formed, in 1999 Famalicão, released their first recording as a promotional CD entitled Tales to be Untold (2000). Followed by the EP Traces of Irony (2002) recorded at Rec n’Roll Studios and produced by Rui Danim and Luís Barros (Tarântula). This EP was a significant mark in the band’s affirmation on the scene. In 2007, Spiral emerges recorded at Ultrasound Studios and produced by Daniel Cardoso (Anathema) and, like its predecessor, played an important role in the band’s consolidation in the Portuguese metal scene, gathering excellent reviews, national and international.

After an interregnum of 11 years, Godiva returns to the stage, debuting their new line-up and sound with a memorable concert at Vagos Metal Fest, accompanied by an orchestra of about 50 musicians and a sold out concert at Hard Rock Café Porto.

This year we were lucky, even with COVID-19 restrictions, enough to give two concerts this summer, both sold out: one in Lisbon, at RCA Club in a special edition of Laurus Nobilis Music Fest and recently on the latest edition of Riverstone Fest.
