On BurnYourEars.de, a detailed interview with Nicoletta Rosellini was published on August 13, conducted by Wölfi (founder of the platform Rock-Forum).
The singer is best known as the frontwoman of the power metal band Alterium and the gothic metal project Walk in Darkness, but the interview reveals that there is much more to her career than just music.
Nicoletta Rosellini: An Artist with Many Facets
The portrait shows that Nicoletta is much more than just a voice on stage. She combines diverse passions: metal, nerd culture, cosplay, and even a medical profession as a veterinarian. This blend gives her a unique position in a scene where a single focus is often expected.
Her artistic work draws from a wide variety of sources, from epic fantasy worlds to video games and personal experiences. This diversity of inspiration shapes not only Alterium’s music but also her social media projects, where she combines community connection, humor, and creativity.
Between Nerd Culture, Music and Vocation
The conversation makes it clear that Nicoletta’s creativity knows no genre boundaries. She talks about her enthusiasm for fantasy, gaming, and cosplay, passions that often find their way into her song ideas. Alterium in particular benefits from this mix of epic storytelling and energetic power metal, which is also reflected in appearances at conventions.
At the same time, she gives insights into her everyday life as a veterinarian, a profession she pursues with the same dedication as her music. Studio recordings, video shoots, and tour preparations often take place late in the evening or on days off to fit around her part-time veterinary work.
"Balancing everything I do is definitely a challenge - and unfortunately, not many people truly understand how much it demands in terms of sacrifice." (quote: Nicoletta Rosellini)
YouTube, Ko-fi and Fashion as Creative Extensions
Another focus is her YouTube channel, where she releases cover songs every month. Thanks to Ko-fi, supporters can not only help finance the production of these songs but also take part in choosing them.
Alongside music, Nicoletta showcases her love for alternative fashion on social media and collaborates with various gothic and alternative fashion brands. For her, this is not a side project but part of her artistic concept: giving music, her profession, and personal interests the attention they deserve, with her band always remaining the main priority.
Authenticity as a Guiding Principle
The portrait also makes it clear that Nicoletta does not think in classic categories. Whether on stage, in the studio, or in direct contact with fans, her goal is to live authentically and maintain her personal signature in everything she does.
The interview paints an atmospheric overall picture. Readers gain insights into the motivation, work ethic, and artistic attitude of a musician who has found her own niche and pursues it consistently.
