NOUMENIA explore fate and faith in emotional new video 'Fall Apart'

Noumenia are a post-groove metal band from Northern Italy, who have crafted an soul-striking explosive sound that hits you square in the face, the mind, and the soul! Fronted by their powerfully-charismatic vocalist Vivian Black, the band just premiered a new music video for their emotional new single "Fall Apart". The music video was directed by Steve Saints (Genus Ordinis Dei). "Fall Apart" is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming full-length album Echoes which will be released on June 27, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Richard Meiz (Lacuna Coil, Genus Ordinis Dei), and mixed & mastered by Daniele Salomone (Lacuna Coil, Inverno, D With Us) at DDStudio Records.

"The main inspiration for the video was the Ancient Greek myth of the Fates (or Parcae) where it was told that three women wove the strings of human fate" says vocalist Vivian Black. "The legend told that whenever the Parcae stopped weaving the strings a human would die. So, the most important symbols were obviously the red strings, which represent our bond with the other human beings and our subconscious." Drummer Sam Zichi adds, "We shot a video for Fall Apart because we wanted to bring the lyrics and emotions that we put into the song to life. Every member of the band is fighting against these red strings that represent the bounding and deep connection with our destiny and souls. They keep us bonded but restrained, awake but not aware how linked we are to other human beings and our fate."

Echoes is the title of the exciting post groove metal album by Noumenia, featuring rhythmic virtuosity, ripsaw growl vocals, heavy drumming, and a gargantuan guitar sound that literally reinvents the power of the power chord. The pound and burn on this record are massive, the changes invigorating, the hooks mesmerizing, the philosophical lyrics all too close to the heart, the bottom-side where we stockpile secrets and darkness. Often, the songs on this record kick off with bizarre futuristic introductions constructed of suspense and trepidation, like movie soundtracks made for aliens, dangerous AI, and cyborgs gone mad, yet following these mystic "orchestral" and "celestial" preludes, Noumenia hit us with drop after drop that rock so hard we are stunned. Musically, this record makes for a striking hybrid, explosive and smooth, hard diamond with a soft shine, a thick dose of dangerous velvet. Holistically, it seems that the band has a mission here to invigorate, exfoliate, and buzzsaw the brain so the new world looks real and raw. Echoes features cover art designed by Samuele Zichi, and it is scheduled for release on June 27, 2025.
