Noumenia are a post groove metal band from Northern Italy, who have crafted an explosive soul-striking sound that hits you square in the face, the mind, and the heart! Fronted by their powerfully-charismatic vocalist Vivian Black, the band just premiered a new music video for their devastating new single “The Circle“. The music video was directed by Steve Saints (Genus Ordinis Dei) at Black & White Studios in Fizzonasco, Milan. “The Circle” is the first single & music video taken from their upcoming full-length album Echoes which will be released on June 27, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Richard Meiz (Lacuna Coil, Genus Ordinis Dei), mixed & mastered by Daniele Salomone (Lacuna Coil, Inverno, D With Us) at DDStudio Records.
“The Circle embraces one of the main mechanics of life… karma.” Says drummer Sam Zichi. “You must be careful, because each decision leads to a consequence, everything you do or say, will come back around. We hope to strike our viewers with a resonant and mindful message of always being wide-awake in life, because you will never know when it will strike back to you.” Vocalist Vivian Black adds, “For this music video, we wanted to focus on the band with minimal and modern elements, without losing the expression and the mood of the single. A dark room to get an oniric feeling, blue lights in contrast with red lights for a duality of emotions which we feel in this track and in the album in general. The focus light on us to remember that even in the dark our light will always shine.” Bassist Matteo Campagnoli continues, “Conveying the full intensity of the song in front of a camera was undoubtedly the greatest challenge, but we pulled it off. How, you ask? The secret was diving into the very soul of The Circle and recreating the environment where this song truly thrives… a live performance.” Finally, guitarist Matteo Radaelli adds “This song called for a more aggressive approach, other ones for hidden messages, and last but not least others for a more emotional feeling. For that reason we’ll experiment with different styles, plots and visual effects to create something unique each time, trying to catch the vibe of every song.”
Echoes is the title of the exciting post groove metal album by Noumenia, featuring heavy drumming, rhythmic virtuosity, ripsaw growl vocals, and a gargantuan guitar sound that literally reinvents the power of the power chord. The pound and burn on this record are massive, the hooks mesmerizing, the changes invigorating, the philosophical lyrics all too close to the heart, the bottom-side where we stockpile secrets and darkness. Often, the songs on this record kick off with bizarre futuristic introductions constructed of suspense and trepidation, like movie soundtracks made for aliens, dangerous AI, and cyborgs gone mad, yet following these mystic “orchestral” and “celestial” preludes, Noumenia hit us with drop after drop that rock so hard we are stunned. Musically, this record makes for a striking hybrid, explosive and smooth, hard diamond with a soft shine, a thick dose of dangerous velvet. Holistically, it seems that the band has a mission here to invigorate, exfoliate, and buzzsaw the brain so the new world looks real and raw. Echoes features cover art designed by Samuele Zichi, and it is scheduled for release on June 27, 2025.
