POWERHOUSE ROCK BAND DELLA NOVA SET THEIR SIGHTS ON DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE AND LAUNCH PARTY IN DECEMBER

29th November 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Introducing DELLA NOVA: A three-piece rock outfit from the UK’s capital, DELLA NOVA captures the essence of modern rock with their self-titled debut album, ‘Della Nova’, which is set for release 13th December. Ahead of this, the band will play a special album launch show at London’s New River Studios.

Melodic, hard-hitting, and experimental, DELLA NOVA blends high-energy guitar rock with soundscapes that soar. For a debut album, it’s a relentless rock ‘n’ roll juggernaut; this will be a haven for rock aficionados seeking their favorite new band.

The genesis of singer, guitarist, and songwriter Alex Bowmer, whose vision of classic rock, stoner, and alternative rock influences has resulted in DELLA NOVA delivering a collection of impressive songs. The name DELLA NOVA emerged when Alex was working for a witch in 2019, in reference to the secret magical order ‘The Ordine Della Nova’, which operated in the 1980s. Featuring long-time collaborator Joe Chauncy on bass, and newest member Adam Szabo laying down the drums, DELLA NOVA has distilled the essence of rock ‘n’ roll while rolling the dice.

DELLA NOVA’s debut album journey effortlessly weaves together huge 8-string guitar-driven riffs with the more delicate & dreamy chord passages, with a couple of thunderous guitar solos scattered to kick things up a gear. Drums that would knock Phil Collins off his rocking chair and razor-sharp, driving bass make up the rhythm section for Alex to lay down his proverbial vengeance upon. In combination with atmospheric interludes, this album debut takes the listener on a journey that dips their toes in nostalgia but with a raw, fresh energy of modern progressive.

Lyrically, the songs on ‘Della Nova’ are an amalgamation of Alex’s life experiences and perspectives—from breakups to new love, political frustration & disdain for the government to bad acid trips. It was recorded in a converted church-warehouse-party mansion where Alex lives; it’s a glimpse into the mind of a real London warehouse rocker.

The new album has been four years in the making, having gone through various changes to its mixes and masters. The album eventually ended up in the hands of Ben Jeffes, a widely acclaimed sound professional in the film industry, and long-term friend of Alex. Working together, the pair have crafted an album that is deeply rich in its production.

“This album is the culmination of years of evolution, changes in musical direction, and personal growth. From sleepless nights tweaking mixes to moments of breakthrough in a makeshift studio, it embodies my journey. Recorded in the space I call home, every track is a piece of my life, reflecting both the pain and the triumph of my experiences.” – Alex Bowmer

Ex-drummer and cousin to Alex, Karl Hall, features on the album’s recordings. The decision for Karl to part with the band was unanimous and amicable, so to have his cousin forever be part of the DELLA NOVA album is something Alex cherishes.

A live London show will accompany the album’s release date, where DELLA NOVA will perform in the heart of North London’s Warehouse district at New River Studios, with local bands supporting.

With its approach to blending nostalgic rock elements with colossal, fresh, aggressive, and experimental styles, DELLA NOVA is poised to make a significant impact on the rock music scene, appealing to fans of gritty, powerful melodic hooks stacked with high voltage. Re-igniting rock? You bet! Check out DELLA NOVA!

‘Della Nova’ is released on 13th December 2024.
