From Zero to 1 Million – Alterium Conquers Spotify

A very special milestone for Alterium: the debut album Of War and Flames has been streamed over 1 million times on Spotify, just about a year after its release.

"Who the hell listened to us that many times?! Seriously, thank you all, you’re absolutely amazing!"– Alterium

This streaming success shows how quickly the band has grown, not only on Spotify but also on YouTube, where the album recently surpassed 1 million views as well. A double milestone that proves the powerful impact of Of War and Flames.

A Powerful First Year for Of War and Flames

Released in March 2024, Of War and Flames recently celebrated its first birthday. It’s more than just a musical debut. The album tells emotionally charged stories about inner strength, sacrifice, hope, freedom, and overcoming darkness, all wrapped in cinematic arrangements and carried by the expressive vocals of Nicoletta Rosellini.

Combining symphonic power metal, fantasy themes, and emotional storytelling, the album features tracks like:

"Siren’s Call" – about the pull between illusion and reality
"Crystalline" – a song of fragility, strength, and light
"Drag Me to Hell" – a battle against one’s own inner demons
"Crossroads Inn" – a playful tribute to fantasy tales and turning points

From Debut to International Stage

Although Alterium was founded in late 2022, the band has quickly made a name for itself in the international metal scene. The next big step is already on the horizon:

On September 4, 2025, Alterium will play their first-ever show in the United States at the renowned Prog Power USA Festival in Atlanta.

What’s next?

The second studio album is already well underway and is scheduled for release in 2026. In the meantime, fans can look forward to several new singles that will be released over the coming months. Each track will introduce new stories, epic melodies, and more of the energy that defines Alterium’s unique sound.
