Italian progressive metal band BERIEDIR return with their new single “Diva”, accompanied by an official music video, available now via Rockshots Records.
Following their 2025 release “Liminal Spaces”, BERIEDIR continue to develop their distinctive sound, blending progressive metal, alternative metal and melodic death metal influences. For fans of Pain of Salvation, Katatonia and Swallow the Sun, the band combines melodic songwriting and atmospheric passages with heavier, more aggressive elements.
Drawing on influences including Rammstein and Machine Head, “Diva” explores a more confrontational side of BERIEDIR's songwriting. Its lyrics address the frustration of being judged and criticised by those who lack an understanding of the circumstances involved. The recurring line “Chin high” reinforces the song's defiant stance, reclaiming the label “diva” as an expression of self-assertion.
The lyrics were written by vocalist Stefano Nüsperli while the music was composed collectively by the five band members.
Over the years, BERIEDIR have gradually expanded their musical identity beyond their melodic progressive metal roots, incorporating darker atmospheres, harsh vocals and increasingly heavier arrangements. This evolution became particularly evident on “Liminal Spaces” and continues with “Diva”, where progressive songwriting meets alternative metal influences, melodic hooks and a more aggressive approach, while preserving the band's characteristic solemn and atmospheric sound.
“Diva” was produced and recorded by Stefano Nüsperli at Lighthouse Studio, with mixing and mastering handled by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio. Single Artwork by Nadia Sampellegrini.
With “Diva”, BERIEDIR present another step in their ongoing musical evolution, delivering a track that balances intensity, melody and emotional depth.
