ALDARIA IS BACK! - NEW SINGLE OUT 23.05.2025

After several years of hiatus, the magical world of Aldaria once again is filled with light and hope.

With the single "The Mystery Revealed", Aldaria is back on the power metal scene, and with more power, speed and melodies than ever before.

This time with the fantastically talented singers Noah Edward Simmons, and Mike Livas (Bloodorn & Silent Winter), as well as my self, Frode Hovd on some lead vocals.

The lineup is:
Noah Edward Simmons - Lead Vocals
Mike Livas - Lead Vocals
Frode Hovd - Lead Vocals, Guitars and Synths
Christer Harøy - Guitars and Bass
Andreas Nergard - Orchestrations.
Alfred Fridhagen - Drums
David Åkesson - Backing Vocals

Mix and Master by the fantastic Ronny Milianowicz at his Studio Seven.

Frode says:
"It's been a while since I released anything with Aldaria, but now the timing was perfect. With the release of "When The Time Has Come" where all income went to support Cancer Research, I wanted to revisit this subject, and once again shine light on the importance of research to battle this disease. I've recently had close friends battling, and won the fight against this monster, thanks to the advances in research. So once again, ALL INCOME from this single with go to Cancer Research."

Together we CAN make a difference!

“Dragon Lord” is the first single taken from their new album “Oceans Of Black” – a noble man, betrayed and cursed, is cast into the depths of the underworld. In the fiery pits of hell, he discovers a newfound power, reborn with the spirit of the dragon. Rising with the fury of a storm, he unleashes fire upon the night sky, igniting it with his wrath. Now, as the Dragon Lord, he will bring terror to those who stand against him.
