â
This re-recorded fan-favorite track from their debut album âEssentiaâ captures a refreshed intensity, featuring new vocals from Victoria Knight herself â a powerful leap from the original recording.
â
This release is part of Victoria Kâs journey of both reflection and evolution, looking forward to a third album in 2025. Known for pushing the boundaries of their sound, Victoria Kâs last album, “Kore”, embraced a conceptual approach inspired by Greek mythology. But with “Humanity XXIV” (and the upcoming “Lacuna XXIV”), Victoria K pays tribute to their origins, infusing these tracks with matured skill and spirit.
â
These tracks are only the beginning, marking a new era in Victoria Kâs Gothic Metal legacy, and follow the bandâs recent chart-topping success with their “Frozen” cover, which reached the top 10 on Metal Contraband charts. As the anticipation builds for the 2025 album, “Humanity XXIV” serves as a powerful reminder of their journey from a rising name in the Melbourne metal scene to a band opening for legends like Eluveitie, Blind Guardian, and Katatonia.

“I have always loved a good concept album being a Prog head at heart and there are lots of progressive metal records floating around the constant stream of modern metal. But for me, none so well produced, performed and as inspired as this one. If youâre looking to dip your toes into the waters of concept albums this is most defiantly the one to try. Itâs not dry or heavy going like some and you donât need to have a degree in Astrophysics to enjoy it. Long gone the image of thick-rimmed glassed music professors in flares noodling around in impossible time signatures. Now there is new blood, new energy and WHAT a voice, it truly has left me with goosebumps. This young talent from Melbourne Australia is really going places. And I for one will be really keen to see quite how far she can go.” (Kore) – Metal Roosâ

â“a really enjoyable record (Kore)” – Sentinel Dailyâ
â
â“Victoria K. are refreshingly different and very profound on âKoreâ. Symphonic Metal gets a breath of fresh air here, both lyrically and musically.” (Kore) – Dark Divasâ
â
â“âA Divine Revelationâ, is one of my favorites off this album. Victoriaâs depth of character and love for this story can be felt with every note she sings. She is âaliveâ in this story as if it were real. You can feel it in her vocal delivery. So much time and effort was put into delivering the lyrics and story in just the right way. I take my hat off to her and the band for trying to bring such a powerful story to life with music. She sings in Greek to add to the authenticity of this masterpiece.” (Kore) – Progressive Rock Centralâ
â
â“How nice it is that the power in her voice does not decrease, but increases. No high warbling but pure power. Just listen to ‘A Divine Revelation’ for example. Do you like bands with their own sound and who know how to bring something new? Then put this on.” (Kore) – Arrow Lords of Metalâ
â
ââLovers of symphonic metal listen up⦠because Victoria K is about to put Australia on the map.â â Heavy Magazine
