Bio:
Niviane (pronounced nih-vy-anne) is an American power metal band hailing from Sacramento California formed in the fall of 2014. Guitarists Mark Miner & Claudeous Creamer along with bassist Rick Stallkamp created the core sound by melding together their collective influences of classic heavy metal along with modern European metal to produce what has been branded “A new breed of American Power Metal”.In the following months the band recruited drummer Mark Sprague and began writing many of the songs that would later appear on the debut album. The fledgling act still needed a moniker and the name "Niviane" was suggested by guitarist Claudeous Creamer. The final piece of the puzzle had yet to be found, but as fate would have it in the spring of 2015 vocalist Norman Skinner was preparing to start a new project and was contacted by an associate of the band. Within a week the two camps had demoed 3 songs and the original full Niviane line-up was born.Two months later on May 15th, 2015 the band debuted their music live for the first time at The Knitting Factory in Reno, Nevada. Delivering a high-energy performance complete with duel lead guitar attacks and high-soaring vocals, the band began a run of successful show dates. Niviane continued to perform live and write for the debut album through the end of 2015.The group in its infancy was gaining much deserved attention but with a new year came a new line-up. 2016 would begin with Claudeous Creamer & Mark Sprague parting ways with the band and being replaced by guitarist Gary Tarplee & drummer Noe Luna. Without missing a step the band continued forward, performing live while completing the writing process and pre-production for their first album.In May 2016 the band entered Alien Productions Studios with JK Northrup at the helm to begin recording the debut album “The Druid King”. Upon completing a majority of the tracking the decision was made to recruit the talents of Aaron Robitsch to write and record keyboards for the album. The album was completed in March 2017 with a planned release by the end of the year through a yet unnamed label.Niviane continues to perform live throughout the West coast region, diligently working to expand their fan base while writing for the next album
Album:
Niviane, the American power metal force, is proud to unveil their latest single, “12 BC: Legions”, a powerful track that marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the band. Taken from their highly anticipated third studio album called “Queen of Phantoms”, the single showcases Niviane’s signature blend of heavy, melodic and dynamic metal.The song transports listeners to the battlefields of Germania in 12 BC, narrating the struggles between the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes. Written from the perspective of the Roman Empire, “12 BC: Legions” captures the unshakeable confidence of the Romans, whose faith in strength, unity and divine favor leads them to underestimate their enemies. The track’s combination of dramatic storytelling and intense musicality immediately sets it apart as one of the standout pieces on the upcoming album. With “Queen of Phantoms” the band takes another leap forward, delivering a collection of tracks that are not only heavier and more intricate but also emotionally resonant. This album is the culmination of years of growth and creative exploration, the addition of drummer Isaiah AR and bassist Tyler Satterlee has brought new dynamics and textures to the music elevating the band to a new level. Musically, “Queen of Phantoms” promises to mesmerize listeners with its masterful blend of light and dark shades, subtle atmospheres and crushing heaviness. The album could be describes as a natural evolution of their sound combining the rawness of “The Druid King” and the polish of “The Ruthless Divine”, while injecting it with an even greater sense of purpose and power. “Queen of Phantoms” is set to release on March 7th, 2025, through Rockshots Records, continuing to solidify Niviane’s place in the world of power metal.Release date 07.03.2025.
