Oklahoma’s Nova Riot, who describe their music as “bubblegum alternative metal” will drop their debut album this summer.
Revealed today, the band announced their signing to Eclipse Records for the release of Blood, Lies, and Lullabies. The seven-track release will arrive on August 21. Pre-saves for the album can be made here. Blood, Lies, and Lullabies was produced, engineered, and mastered by Braxton Henry with additional production by Addison Ray and Paris Pipkin.
Guitarist Orion said this about signing with Eclipse Records:
“When Nova and I started Nova Riot, I knew right away that this project had some magic! It had the music, the theatrics, and the talent to back it all up, so we decided to build a brand that was recognizable right out the gate. I knew we really needed a partner that could help elevate our music in a way that you just can’t really do on your own as an artist. As a veteran of the music industry, I had heard the name Eclipse Records thrown around with some weight, and having known them to have a long-running business model that works for bands that want to put in the work, i didn’t hesitate to submit our music... And here we are! Eclipse has given us the great opportunity to prove ourselves as heavyweights in an industry that has some undeniable giants! For that, we are forever grateful and humbled.”
Vocalist Nova said:
"Out of the blue, my bandmate called after setting up a meeting with Chris at Eclipse. After talking with him, I felt great energy immediately. I knew something like this would happen sooner or later, but I’m not sure that I saw it coming so soon. I can tell you one thing for sure, though I’m absolutely stoked to begin this journey and next step to creating meaningful art and hoping it is seen and felt by anyone who our creations resonate with. Thank you to everyone at Eclipse for seeing the meaning behind our music and helping us launch our band to spread the riot even further!”
