The Italian melodic power metal band Kalidia was formed in 2010, released their first demo-EP in 2012, and started to play extensively around Italy. After receiving great response from both press and fans, the band independently released the debut album "Lies' Device" in 2014. The music video of the title track went viral, gaining over 1 million views on YouTube.
Between 2014 and 2017 Kalidia continued touring Italy, Germany and the UK – sharing the stage with major acts like Rhapsody of Fire, Serenity, Cellar Darling, Ancient Bards, Vision Divine, Timo Tolkki, DGM and many more. Nicoletta Rosellini also became well-known for her guest appearance with Rhapsody Reunion.
The new Kalidia album “The Frozen Throne” was produced and mixed by Lars Rettkowitz [FreedomCall] mastered by Achim Köhler [Primal Fear, Amon Amarth, Brainstorm] and the artwork was created by Stan W Decker [Vanden Plas, Primal Fear].
Inspired by classic power metal bands like Rhapsody of Fire, Hammerfall and Stratovarius as well as new bands like Beast In Black, Kalidia have created an uplifting melodic power metal album with the roots in classic power metal with a modern and fresh touch.
“The Frozen Throne” was received extremely well around the world when it was released in November 2018 and it did hit many iTunes and Amazon Charts upon release. The music video for the single “Frozen Throne” recently passed 2,3 million views on YouTube.
Led by the charismatic vocalist Nicoletta Rosellini and with a really strong album behind them, Kalidia are ready to show the metal scene that they are a force to be reckoned with!
