Berlin metalcore eccentrics Vianova have today surprise dropped their debut album HIT IT along with a wild music video for new single ‘Squier Talk’ via Arising Empire, following a week of leaking material themselves via ONLY FANS. The quartet’s lack of convention and creative appoach has rapidly catapulted them to becoming one of the fastest growing acts in modern metalcore, and their accention to the top is about to be realised with the release of one of the most brilliant and quirky metal albums of 2025.
Vocalist Alex commented: “It’s only once in a lifetime you get to drop your debut album and we couldn’t be more exited about releasing HIT IT!, our loveletter to the past, the present and the future of music.
“Throughout the record’s story, told through our music videos and social media ‘minisodes’ we have played on crazy gameshows, swapped our gender and were stripped of our identities. ‘Squier Talk’ concludes this visual odyssey with us arriving at the headquarters of the “biggest record label in the world”, Intergalactic Records, where we are confronted with the harsh surreality of the music industry. It’s also the records opening track, launching you into the sonic rollercoaster that is HIT IT!. If you like tight poppy song structures, polished commercial metalcore, and lyrics that talk about „being pulled into the abyss/ getting stabbed in the back“ this album is… not for you. HIT IT!”
New video ‘Squier Talk’ is also the latest installment of the Vianova soap opera, told across episodic social media reels, shortform video and a series of creative music videos accompanying the album’s singles.
The story has follows the surreal rise of a caricatured version of the band from studio grind and quirky side hustles into full-blown, Kill Your Friends-esque chaos. The band hustle on a wild gameshow, cruise through night-time Berlin in a vintage Mustang, and even swap genders in a dreamlike twist. After shooting with metalcore’s top director, they’re shockingly replaced by doppelgängers, only to be scooped up by the fictional Intergalactic Records. In the penultimate chapter of the story, in true Vianova fashion, they leaked clips of their own album on OnlyFans, turning the music industry inside out with a mix of satire, spectacle, and raw creativity.
‘Squier Talk’ sees the conclusion of the story (for now), as Vianova’s expectations of “making it” and the stark realities of the music business collide with comedy and poignancy in equal measure.

Berlin’s vianova have just dropped a behemoth of a track called ‘Whatever Alright’ – the result of what happens when metalcore collides with Timbaland-inspired beats.
vianova aren’t just pushing boundaries here, they’re taking a sledgehammer to them. ‘Whatever Alright’ is what happens when you stop caring about genre rules and just let the madness flow.
The video’s just as twisted. Berlin dancer Greta Schuster turns everyday monotony into a fever dream, her movements shifting from robotic precision to complete chaos. It’s like watching someone lose their mind in the most graceful way possible. The track is mixed by Leon Schmidt, metal legend Jens Bogren handled the master.
Berlin-based metalcore act Vianova return with their latest single ‘Melanchronic’. This synth-driven track drenches listeners in a wave of ’80s nostalgia, blending melancholic undertones with soundscapes tailor-made for a contemplative night drive.
‘Melanchronic’ dives deep into the emotional push-and-pull of uncertain relationships, exploring the universal longing for closure, healing, or liberation, whether by embracing those connections or leaving them behind. The recurring drum and vocal patterns, paired with Vianova‘s groovy riffs, create a hypnotic trance, compelling listeners to contemplate their suppressed emotions.
