Rockshots Records is proud to announce their signing of Beriedir for the release of their new album "AQVA" on January 21, 2022.
Beriedir (from
the Sindarin word for “Guardians”) is a progressive melancholic power
metal act based in Bergamo, Italy. The five-member band was founded by
Stefano Nüsperli and began its live career in 2015 with the release of
"The Line", their first demo. Their first full-length album "The Path
Beyond the Moon" was unveiled in 2018, which launched them to perform on
multiple musical events such as Fosch Fest (Italy) along with sharing
the stage with bands such as Korpiklaani and Pathfinder. After the 2020
release of the EP "Lullabies Beyond the Moon", which contained three
tracks from their debut album rearranged in an acoustic key, they are
now ready to launch their new album "AQVA" in 2022.
The
second full-length features ten tracks of progressive, power, and
melodic death metal influenced tracks that were mixed and mastered by
Simone Mularoni (Domination Studio).
"We
think AQVA will positively surprise our older fans and lead new ones,
this record is much more diverse and has definitely matured in
songwriting. The main goal of AQVA as
a whole is to figuratively “submerge” the listener with a spectrum of
themes, both musical and lyrical, related to water and its shapes. Water
is the element of flow, it’s the substance that conceals, preserves,
and washes all away. The lulling nature of a silent shore or a rapping
rain is juxtaposed to the fearsome imagery of the undertow, riptides,
and tidal waves. We tried to convey these atavistic sensations
differently from track to track. The singles were chosen to showcase the
variety of approaches to this theme." adds band founder Stefano Nüsperli.
"AQVA",
despite not being a real concept album with a story articulating itself
throughout the tracks, touches its various topics through the various
forms in which water manifests, be it a river, a storm or tears. The album deals with rather introspective matters, trying to give a new perspective on situations that Biriedir
thinks their listeners will find relatable and hoping that they will
maybe take shelter in their audio experience, using them as their own
voice when only music can speak for us.
In preview to "AQVA", Beriedir is sharing their first single "Departure Song",
a hymn to a rightful departure, the ability to just choose to leave
when we find ourselves uncomfortable with our predicament, willing to
accept that we could end up in pain, just elsewhere, but at least with
the consciousness of knowing that at least it’s only us who can choose
what pain to endure.
