NOVELTY, the rising band of the Athenian melodic metalcore scene, introduce themselves to the public in their own explosive way through the official video clip of their debut single “Darkest Days”, which was released on January 16.

With this track, they reveal the first chapter of their upcoming album, reminding us that where there is darkness, there is also light; the hope that keeps us alive, whether expressed through a person or through something that helps us escape from the darkest moments. In the short time of their journey, they have shaped a sound that combines dynamically aggressive riffs with intense melodic elements, with explosive energy and dynamism, elements that are reflected both in their music and in their live performances.

For the video clip of “Darkest Days”, the band collaborated with Yannis Nikolopoulos, known for his work with important names in the Greek metal scene, such as Suicidal Angels, Herta, Domination DC and SixForNine, creating a cinematic aesthetic that enhances the emotional charge of the track.

At the same time, Novelty are in the process of producing their first full-length album, which will include nine original tracks and will highlight the evolution and maturation of their sound. “Darkest Days” is the band’s first official step and a strong introduction to what they are preparing for the coming period.

Novelty is a melodic metalcore band based in Athens, Greece.

Formed in 2022, they began creating their own distinctive sound by blending hard, heavy riffs with melodic elements.

The band has performed at several venues, including Kyttaro Stage, Temple Athens, Six D.O.G.S., An Club, Death Disco, Architecture, Piraeus Club, and the Technopolis Stage.

They recently completed their first official video, “Darkest Days,” which was released on January 16th, 2026.

They are currently working on their debut album, which will contain 9 original tracks.
