ALTERIUM is an Italian power metal quintet founded in late 2022 by vocalist Nicoletta Rosellini (ex. Kalidia, Walk in Darkness), joined by former bandmates Paolo Campitelli (guitars) and Dario Gozzi (drums), and later by Alessandro Mammola (guitars) and Luca Scalabrin (bass).
Produced by Lars Rettkowitz (Freedom Call), their debut album “Of War And Flames” was released on March 8, 2024 via AFM Records, featuring 9 original tracks and a cover of Sabaton’s “Bismarck”. The album received excellent feedback, surpassing 1 million streams on Spotify and 1.2 million views on YouTube.
Even before the album's release, ALTERIUM hit the stage across Europe, including performances at Epic Fest (Denmark) and Brainstorm Fest (Netherlands), marking the beginning of their growing presence on the international metal scene.
