Upcoming Release: ORIA

ORIA joins forces with Theogonia Records for a Dystopian Metal Odyssey!

 
Hi, metalheads! Prepare to turn up the volume because ORIA, the booming progressive groove metal behemoth from Thessaloniki, Greece, is making waves! Theogonia Records has finally put out the red carpet for these outstanding newbies, and believe me, you won't want to miss what happens next. Their sophomore album, This Future Wants Us Dead, is planned to be released on April 25, 2025. Yes, mark your calendars and clear your schedules—this will be something exceptional! It will be available globally in a slick CD digipack as well as all of the digital forms you might want.
 
After blowing us away with their debut album, Sublimation(s), in 2020, ORIA has firmly established themselves as a rising star in the metal industry. And now? They're turning it up a notch! This Future Wants Us Dead is a musical trip full of pounding riffs, complicated rhythms, and haunting melodies. Buckle up, because we're about to dive into a world on the verge of collapse.
 
Imagine a dystopian landscape in which technology advances but the environment deteriorates and social bonds fracture. Doesn't this seem like a scenario straight out of today's headlines? But hold on to your hats—amid the darkness, ORIA sends us a lifeline full of promise. Their music, which weaves themes of redemption and resistance throughout, does more than just push dread in your face; it also provides a glimmer of light shining through the gaps. From booming beats to delicate contemplative moments, ORIA creates soundscapes that make you ponder while rocking out.
 
Now let's speak about production! Recorded by the excellent Nick Grey at Red House Music Studio, with drums painstakingly edited by Defkalion Dimos and mixing/mastering wizardry by Steve Lado in Athens, it's evident that ORIA doesn't cut corners. They are producing a sound that is both brutally heavy and astonishingly precise. Oh, and don't miss Nasia Stylidou's beautiful cover image, renowned in the art world as Decomposition. Her images match the album's uncanny themes and will pull you in.
 
Here’s what ORIA has to say about their new album:
"This tale evolves over each track, addressing humanity's complex connection with technology and development. It addresses the key concerns of our modern existence, including dominance, exploitation, the emergence of AI, environmental catastrophe, and others. This Future Wants Us Dead is our raw look at the forces shaping our world today and the futures we risk creating."
 
And Theogonia Records? They’re just as excited:
"ORIA captures everything we stand for—passion, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of pushing metal’s boundaries. This Future Wants Us Dead is more than simply an album; it's an exciting, timely experience that pushes listeners musically and philosophically. We can't wait to share their talents with the world!"
 
Influenced by heavyweights like as Gojira, Mastodon, and Lamb of God, ORIA takes you on a crazy voyage that focuses not just on headbanging but also on storyline and depth. If you’re on the hunt for more than just bombastic riffs, this is the band for you.
