Israel’s Neolia chooses to float in a space where a balance between nirvana and chaos coexists. They create a wild and mystic energy field with their music by incorporating rock/metal with different elements, mostly from Latin and African music. They are releasing their self-titled debut album this coming May 2023 and plan to tour with it internationally while constantly exploring new creative ways to increase their connection with their audience and supporters.

The video for “Blow The Leaves” is now available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/kcsOO7tCf-Y​

Musically, the album is a reflection of years of soaking up music of different genres from rock to pop to world music and whatnot. It’s a fusion of bits upon bits of pieces absorbed and processed and then spat out from a personal perspective. In its musical aspect, it’s rock and metal based, but with a twist of African, Latin, Jazz, and ambient that reaches the spectrum of high and low, tender, extreme, and crazy. The band explains the album further:

The way the music combines with the lyrics is parallel in the sense that it doesn’t tell the story that inspired it in a chronological way, but as a puzzle where the character, Alex, reflects upon fractions of his life, from different phases. We don’t know where Alex ends up in his life, but we do know where he has been, and what he goes through in each place. Each track gives us a glimpse into Alex’s life and describes a certain scene, a thought process, or an emotional conflict from childhood to adulthood. He gets shoved to the margins of society, and follows a long and harsh way in search of purpose and communication with the people around him.”

Neolia formed to give to others and to encourage people to come together (A connection between souls). They formed to give showcase their art in a few dimensions, one that’s personal, and spiritual and the other that is musical and expressive. They are recommended listening for fans of The Mars Volta, Sikth, and Mudvayne.

“Neolia” is due out on May 5th, 2023 and available for pre-order at https://bandcamp.com/neoliaband​
