Swiss progressive metal band NevBorn is preparing to unveil their second album, Alkaios · Part II · The Peacock, via Luminol Records, on March 30th, 2025. Thus, continuing the epic tale of Heracles, the album features four expansive tracks, promising another chapter of intricate storytelling and progressive metal mastery.
Musically, Alkaios · Part II · The Peacock takes inspiration from iconic bands like Circa Survive, The Ocean, and Agent Fresco. Indeed, they are blending emotive and expansive soundscapes with the intensity and dynamic energy of progressive metal.
Indeed, NevBorn’s journey in the progressive metal scene began with their critically acclaimed debut album, Five Horizons, in 2015. In 2017, they explored new creative territory with the one-song EP Daídalos, a 20-minute epic featuring Loïc Rossetti of The Ocean, cementing their reputation for crafting complex, narrative-driven compositions.
In 2023, NevBorn launched their most ambitious project to date: a trilogy inspired by the Twelve Labors of Heracles. The first installment, Alkaios · Part I · The Eagle, received widespread praise for its intricate compositions and meticulously detailed arrangements, setting the bar high for the upcoming chapters in this extraordinary saga.
Also, to give fans a taste of what’s to come, the band has already dropped the single, Stymfalia, on December 1st, last year.
