Following the successful release of their first single, “In My Flesh”, Nekomata continues to build anticipation for their second album “EUPHORIA” with their new single, “Zero”. Known for their signature “Power Core” style – a high-energy blend of Power Metal, Metalcore, and Death Metal – the band returns with an even more aggressive and refined sound.
After making a powerful impact with their debut album “…And Then, The Abusement Park Left Town” (2022) and its standout singles “Call to Arms” and “Algorithmically Imperfect,” Nekomata is pushing their sonic boundaries even further. “Zero” showcases their evolution: combining razor-sharp riffs, intricate melodies, and vocals that range from soaring harmonies to guttural growls. Enhanced by dramatic cinematic elements, the track delivers a complex yet accessible experience.
The band, featuring Filippo Zavattari (bass and backing vocals), Andrea Cappellari (guitar and programming), Andrea Olivieri (vocals), and Alberto Mezzanotte (drums), has established itself as a standout act in the Italian metal scene. Their sound appeals to fans of bands like Architects, Veil of Maya, and Periphery bringing power, precision, and a unique identity to every track.
“Zero” promises to be a relentless and memorable listening experience, packed with fierce breakdowns, powerful hooks, and a lyrical exploration that digs deeper into the concept of “EUPHORIA”. The accompanying music video captures the intensity of the song and adds a visual narrative to its thematic depth.
“Zero explores the inner conflict of someone trapped in an unending cycle of self-doubt and the pursuit of unattainable perfection. Every achievement feels overshadowed by ever-larger challenges, fueling a persistent sense of inadequacy. Despite the progress made, the protagonist struggles to recognize his own victories, feeling trapped in a mindset that makes him his own worst enemy. This relentless fight against the impossible leads to continuous effort with no apparent end, leaving a profound sense of emptiness, as if everything inevitably circles back to zero. Instrumentally speaking, Zero is the djentiest of the songs, with a modern groovy approach.” adds the band.
