Finnish melodic death metal band Alias Noone has released the third single from their upcoming album! “Primordials” is about ancient, cosmic entities that embody the fundamental forces and essences of the universe. They exist beyond the scope of time, often being described as having existed before the creation of the universe. They are eternal and unchanging, representing constants in the cosmic order.

The upcoming album “Weight of the World” was recorded during 2023-24 at the D-Studios in multiple sessions. The album contains 8 songs that are powerful and melodic without losing the Alias Noone signature heavyness and groove. All the songs contain so much more hooks than before.

Lyrical themes deal with painful and heavy issues. Depression, exclusion, the feeling of being left outside. But the songs are not actually too heavy listening. Album tracks contain big beautiful melodic choruses. There is even some acoustic guitar included. The songs were honed to their final form in the studio. There were not many demo versions of the songs this time so the songs lived a lot as the recording sessions proceeded and the band never got bored even though the songs were refined a lot.
