ALTERIUM is the new Italian power metal quintet led by Nicoletta Rosellini (ex. Kalidia, Walk in Darkness).
The band, born in late 2022, consists of Nicoletta, and former bandmates Paolo Campitelli (guitars) and Dario Gozzi (drums) from Kalidia, soon joined by two exceptional members and talented musicians: Alessandro Mammola (guitars, also in Draconicon) and Luca Scalabrin (bass, also in Altair).
After Kalidia split, Nicoletta decides to take a different approach and finally unleashes her whole potential as both a singer and a songwriter. Under the guidance of producer Lars Rettkowitz (Freedom Call), Alterium records their bombastic debut album entitled ‘Of War and Flames’. The album features 9 original classy power metal tracks and a cover of the Sabaton classic “Bismarck”.
"Of War and Flames" is a triumph of catchy choruses, terrific vocal lines, powerful sounds, strong guitar riffs, explosive drums, majestic choirs and captivating grooves, all skillfully mastered by Achim Koehler. An additional bonus track has already been recorded, and the band is working on their second album.
