ALTERIUM: Italian power metal stalwarts unveil “Sui” lyric video, new EP “Stormrage” out today
Italian melodic power metal force ALTERIUM unleash their brand-new EP “Stormrage” today, marking a bold new chapter in the band’s journey. To celebrate the release, the band has revealed a brand-new lyric video for the track “Sui”, now available to stream.
With “Stormrage”, ALTERIUM deliver two explosive new songs that bridge the epic soundscapes of their debut “Of War And Flames” and the powerful evolution leading into their next full-length. “Sui” channels the band’s signature blend of blazing guitars and triumphant melodies, capturing the unrelenting spirit of modern European power metal.

Singer Nicoletta Rosellini commented:
“‘Sui’ continues our journey through fire mythology that began with our debut album, this time shifting focus to ancient China, where legend tells of the discovery of fire in the mysterious land of Sui Ming. It’s one of the fastest and most intricate songs we’ve written so far: an intimate acoustic intro that evolves into an explosion of melodies, double kick drumming, and epic orchestrations. Those who got an early listen at summer festivals already embraced it warmly.”
The EP is also available in exclusive physical formats:
- Digipack CD, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, featuring two bonus tracks
- 7” Vinyl, released in three colored variants, each limited to 100 hand-numbered copies

This new chapter sees the band sharpening their songwriting and delivering a fresh burst of adrenaline that both longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate. Epic, melodic, and unrelentingly driven, “Stormrage” reaffirms ALTERIUM’s mission to carry the torch of European metal with pride and power.
