Stormrage: Alterium’s New Power Metal Anthem Captivates Fans Worldwide

Nicoletta’s power metal band Alterium has unleashed a true storm with their latest single "Stormrage", both musically and emotionally. Within just one week, the music video surpassed 70,000 views on YouTube. An impressive achievement for an independent release.

The fan response speaks volumes. As of June 20, the video has received 3,051 likes and only 71 dislikes. That’s what true enthusiasm looks like.

And there’s more. The song also brought over 740 new subscribers to Alterium’s still relatively small YouTube channel in a very short time. A clear sign of how well "Stormrage" is resonating with listeners.

🎧 What is "Stormrage" all about?

"Stormrage" is a powerful and epic track in both sound and theme. Inspired by Illidan Stormrage, a legendary character from the Warcraft universe, the song explores the inner conflict of the Betrayer. Torn between light and darkness, despair and determination. A tale of defying fate and holding on to the hope of redemption.

🎬 A video that leaves a mark

Visually, "Stormrage" is just as compelling. Cosplayer Andrea Bardi brings Illidan to life, while Matteo Ermeti directed the video and Davide Grussu created the impressive visual effects. The result is a captivating experience that appeals to both music and fantasy fans alike.

An Independent Release Fueled by Passion

What many people may not know is that Alterium released "Stormrage" completely on their own, without the support of a record label. In early 2025, their former label AFM Records unexpectedly stopped operating as a traditional record company. Hundreds of bands lost their contracts overnight, including Alterium.

As a young band with only one album released, finding a new label right away was far from easy. Instead of waiting, Alterium decided to take matters into their own hands.

"Stormrage" is more than just a song. It is a symbol of independence, determination, and creative spirit. Since then, the band has handled every aspect themselves, from promotion and video production to logistics. The path hasn’t been easy, but they are moving forward.
