Following the explosive release of ‘Más Rápido’, vianova return with a vibrant and groove-infused new track. Step into the high-stakes world of their latest single ‘Wheel of Fortune’!
Dropping as their second release on Arising Empire, ‘Wheel of Fortune’ is an electrifying genre-fusion that blends upbeat funk grooves, modern metal riffs, and melancholic, synth-driven soundscapes. This track redefines expectations with a dynamic gospel choir, adding a powerful, soulful twist. Lyrically inspired by casino and gambling themes, vianova draw striking parallels between life’s decisions and the thrill of a wager. Accompanied by a vibrant, surreal music video where the band performs in a bizarre game show setting, ‘Wheel of Fortune’ is a bold statement that marks another chapter in vianova’s immersive audiovisual worldbuilding.
Founded in Berlin by brothers Felix and Paul Vogelgesang, this metalcore act VIANOVA emerged from their shared vision of creating authentic, emotionally-driven music when they relocated to the city in 2014. The lineup solidified in 2017 with the addition of vocalist Alexander Kerski. Between 2015 and 2019, they released a five-track EP and two singles, building their presence in the German live music scene while navigating lineup changes.
Now back with fresh music, VIANOVA push their sound even further. This new chapter aims for a raw, fierce, and dynamic approach in both mixing and songwriting. Influences from genres outside metalcore – such as soul, jazz, R&B, and 80’s synths – reflect their commitment to breaking genre boundaries. Accompanying this sonic evolution is a vibrant visual transformation, characterised by a focused and youthful energy that injects fun into a metalcore landscape often perceived as stagnant.
The first single from this new writing cycle, titled ‘Más Rápido’ is an energetic and upbeat track that seamlessly blends the band’s old and new styles. Lyrically, it explores themes of modern working culture and burnout, addressing the pressures of contemporary life. The track was mixed by their producer, Leon Schmidt, and mastered by renowned engineer Jens Bogren, providing a warm, dynamic edge to VIANOVA‘sevolving sound.
During the 2020 pandemic, VIANOVA reinvented their musical and visual identity, evolving their sound with the arrival of bassist Raoul Zillani. This new phase embraced a more technical, aggressive, and imaginative style, culminating in their EP Looking For… and the follow-up, …A Way Out, released in 2023. These efforts garnered international attention and led to management by Lukas Magyar (Veil of Maya) in mid-2023. The band has since performed extensively across Germany, solidifying their position as a rising force in the metalcore genre.
