Berlin’s own vianova have finally unleashed their desperately anticipated debut album Hit It!, a record fans and media alike have been demanding for months.
Out now via Arising Empire, the album cements the band’s reputation as one of the most fearless and exciting newcomers in modern metalcore.
The spotlight falls on “Squier Talk”, a razor-sharp anthem that captures everything vianova stand for: raw aggression, groove-heavy riffs, slick rap-inflected hooks, and their unmistakable Berlin-born edge.
Alongside explosive singles like “Wheel of Fortune”, “Whatever Alright”, and “Uh Yaya”, Hit It! delivers the unfiltered energy fans have been waiting for.
The hype is real: vianova have already amassed over 180,000 unique monthly listeners on Spotify and surpassed 3.5 million streams across their catalog — fueled by glowing support from tastemakers like MetalBirb and Bogdan HxC, as well as a passionate fan-driven buzz across YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and beyond.
To celebrate the release, vianova have also launched the official pre-order for all physical formats and exclusive merch bundles, live worldwide from October 3rd.
“It’s only once in a lifetime you get to drop your debut album and we couldn’t be more exited about releasing „Hit it!“, our loveletter to the past, the present and the future of music.
Throughout the record’s story, told through our music videos and social media ‘minisodes’ we have played on crazy gameshows, swapped our gender and were stripped of our identities. ‘Squier Talk’ concludes this visual odyssey with us arriving at the headquarters of the “biggest record label in the world”, Intergalactic Records, where we are confronted with the harsh surreality of the music industry.
It’s also the records opening track, launching you into the sonic rollercoaster that is Hit it!.
If you like tight poppy song structures, polished commercial metalcore, and lyrics that talk about „being pulled into the abyss/ getting stabbed in the back“ this album is… not for you. HIT IT!” – Alex Kerski (vocals)
