Album Notes

The first album by Níobeth, under the name "The Shining Harmony Of Universe", has a length of 70 minutes and a total of 13 tracks. It´s characteristic style put together powerful riffs and drums with an important melodic charge, great orchestration and lyrical soprano vocals, getting influences from several Metal genres (like Symphonic, Thrash, Progressive, Gothic, Power...) as well as from Classical Music (specially from Baroque and Romanticism) and, sometimes, from Folk. In their songs it´s usual to find passages of high elegance and with a lot of arrangements, sometimes with some theatricality.

Includes the cover of The Magic Flute - Queen Of The Night Aria by W.A. Mozart and a bonus track, Kowasani Furuete, being it an adaptation of one of the songs in the album, A Frightening Shiver, with the lyrics in Japanese languaje, in what suposses a humble homage to the victims of the nuclear attacks at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The album counts with the collaboration of a whole choir, as well as with some guest musicians in instruments like flute, piccolo, ocarina, whistle, bagpipe, violin, etc.

The perfect union between metal and classical music. The elegance and pulchritude of classical music hold hands with the strengh, heaviness and power of heavy metal inside of baroque and progressive structures that invite to discover new corners in every listen.

Níobeth are:

Itea Benedicto: vocals and composition
Jesús Díez: guitars and composition
Santi Tejedor: keyboards, violin and bagpipe.
Alberto Trigueros: drums
