Vianova Share "Melanchronic" Video

Berlin-based metalcore act vianova return with their latest single, "Melanchronic," expanding the boundaries of their musical universe once again. This synth-driven track drenches listeners in a wave of '80s nostalgia, blending melancholic undertones with soundscapes tailor-made for a contemplative night drive.

"Melanchronic" dives deep into the emotional push-and-pull of uncertain relationships, exploring the universal longing for closure, healing, or liberation — whether by embracing those connections or leaving them behind. The repetitive drum and vocal patterns, paired with vianova's groovy riffs, create a hypnotic trance, compelling listeners to contemplate their suppressed emotions.

The track was mixed by Leon Schmidt and mastered by renowned engineer Jens Bogren, who adds his signature warm and dynamic touch, elevating the song to new heights.

Brace yourself for a sonic journey that contrasts haunting soundscapes with explosive intensity, offering a truly immersive listening experience.

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Vianova - Share Video For New Single

Founded in Berlin by brothers Felix and Paul Vogelgesang, metalcore act vianova emerged from their shared vision of creating authentic, emotionally-driven music when they relocated to the city in 2014. The lineup solidified in 2017 with the addition of vocalist Alexander Kerski. Between 2015 and 2019, they released a five-track EP and two singles, building their presence in the German live music scene while navigating lineup changes.

Now back with fresh music, vianova push their sound even further. This new chapter aims for a raw, fierce, and dynamic approach in both mixing and songwriting. Influences from genres outside metalcore — such as soul, jazz, R&B, and 80's synths — reflect their commitment to breaking genre boundaries. Accompanying this sonic evolution is a vibrant visual transformation, characterized by a focused and youthful energy that injects fun into a metalcore landscape often perceived as stagnant.

The first single from this new writing cycle, titled "Más Rápido," is an energetic and upbeat track that seamlessly blends the band's old and new styles. Lyrically, it explores themes of modern working culture and burnout, addressing the pressures of contemporary life. The track was mixed by their producer, Leon Schmidt, and mastered by renowned engineer Jens Bogren, providing a warm, dynamic edge to vianova's evolving sound.

During the 2020 pandemic, vianova reinvented their musical and visual identity, evolving their sound with the arrival of bassist Raoul Zillani. This new phase embraced a more technical, aggressive, and imaginative style, culminating in their EP Looking For... and the follow-up, ...A Way Out, released in 2023. These efforts garnered international attention and led to management by Lukas Magyar (Veil of Maya) in mid-2023. The band has since performed extensively across Germany, solidifying their position as a rising force in the metalcore genre.
