‘Weight of the World’ was recorded during 2023-24 at the D-Studios in multiple sessions.
The album contains 9 songs that are powerful and melodic without losing the Alias Noone signature heavyness and groove.
All the songs contain so much more hooks than before.
Every song tells you something about the weight of the world and the things that are pushing us down in modern society.
The production is top notch and the sound is bigger than in Alias Noone’s previous releases.
“We wanted to push the sound as big as possible without losing the things that make us sound the way we do”
tells the band.
The synths and programming is done by Jarno Hänninen from the band Dead End Finland.
Jarno is the producer and engineer as well.
“We wanted to bring some more melody to the songs and Jarno was the right man for the job. We also brought in Saara Nurmela to do some vocals in few of the songs. She has such a great range so we got so much more textures in the lead and backing vocals”
Saara is featured in the songs ‘Shadowkeep’, ‘Left Behind’ and ‘Final Salute’.
When asked about who will love the album, the band tells that the sound is a mixture of Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, In Flames, Amorphis, Sentenced and more without sounding exactly any of them.
“We think our sound is ours, but if you want to put a label on it then the more melodic side of melodic death metal is the closest. There are so much different things in our songs but metal fans will love the album.”
