Signum Regis guitarist Filip Koluš just reported: “I am so proud, that me, Ronnie and Mayo were invited to cooperate on the new release of the great metal project called Aldaria with really awesome musicians!”
Aldaria is a melodic powermetal project by Frode Hovd from the Norwegian powermetalband Memorized Dreams. With fast double bassdrums, dual guitars and uplifting melodies. Many exciting guests artists from all around the world will contribute to this project. Names are listed below.
The first single and lyric video from the allstar metal opera Aldaria is released on Dec. 25. Featuring in this track: Frode Hovd – Guitar, Synth, Backing Vocals, Jimmy Hedlund – Lead Guitars, Kenneth Skarsvåg – Bass, Robert Myrhaug – Drums, Kristoffer Göbel – Vocals, Mayo Petranin – Vocals, Konstantin Naumenko – Vocals, Peter Danielsen – Synths, Gabriel Crisafulli – Synths. The video can be watched below.
Frode Hovd says: ‘The idea behind Aldaria started years ago. I have always wanted to create something this big, and to get the chance to work with some of the best talents in the world. I started to work on Aldaria when my band Memorized Dreams had to take a break due to workcommitments and other things.’
“Aldaria is the place and dimension between Heaven & Hell, Where sinners come to be redeemed, or forever be banished to Hell. There are signs of a darker time ahead, with torn and slayed angels falling from the sky in broad daylight. If evil will find foothold in Aldaria, this will be the end of all light. Someone will have to find the lightbringer, the chosen to enter Aldaria, and from within: find the Key to end all wars”
