“The love child of Nightwish and Fleshgod Apocalypse” – this was the initial reaction of the first ones who heard METEORA‘s brand new album, “Tragedy Of Delusion”. The symphonic metal band balances the melodies and operatic elements of Therion, Nightwish, Epica and After Forever with the more extreme influences of Fleshgod Apocalypse, Septicflesh and Gojira, offering a perfect mixture for the lovers of both sides. They’ve previously published a lyric video for “My Reality”, followed by a videoclip shot for “Memento Mori”. They’re currently working on additional videos to be released later.

Keyboardist Atilla Király also shared plenty of information of the new album, songwriting, and the bonus Linkin Park cover:
“We’re not about to stand in line and fit into the masses – we never have, and in our lyrics we encourage everyone not to do so – therefore we tried to keep our distance from the modern or electronic sounds that are part of the mainstream metal nowadays, we’d rather present a solid classic symphonic metal album to our audience. Vocals are quite different compared to our first album, this time we’ve invited a chorus of talented and qualified singers to participate in the recordings, and we have also used clean male vocals. Noémi (Noémi Holló, lead vocals) has also had classical training singing folk songs and she definitely shows off her diverse vocal talents on this record!”
“Most of the lyrics of the album deal with misbeliefs, delusions and deception, focusing on personal tragedies and global issues alike. In the last minute we’ve raised the idea of recording an 11th bonus song, and since many believed in the early days that we’re a Linkin Park Tribute band because of our name, we’ve transformed one of their biggest hits, Numb into symphonic metal. Right now we’re working on two new videos, and planning to do as many gigs as possible – starting with a show in Budapest on 25th April!” – Király added.
