Beriedir is excited to unveil “Halo”, the first single from their forthcoming third studio album “Liminal Spaces” set to be released on January 10th, 2025, via Rockshots Records.
Following the success of their 2022 album “AQVA”, this new single marks the beginning of a bold evolution in the band’s sound.
“Halo” invites listeners into a mysterious world where melancholic atmospheres and introspective lyrics blend seamlessly with heavy, progressive metal. The song tells the story of a restless man, lost in a dusty study, surrounded by torn tomes and ancient manuscripts. He ventures deep into the nature of reality, driven by both science and mysticism, trying to grasp the truth just beyond his reach. The track’s intricate and immersive soundscapes set the stage for the themes explored in “Liminal Spaces” – melancholia, longing, and the search for understanding.
The band shares:
“‘Halo’ is a song about the feeling of being almost there, yet still just out of reach. It’s the sensation of chasing the truth and losing yourself in the process. This track captures the essence of our new album, both musically and lyrically”.
With “Liminal Spaces”, Beriedir fully embraces a progressive and experimental sound, moving away from their power metal origins. This single will enthrall fans of Pain of Salvation, Leprous, Katatonia, and Gojira, promising a deep and reflective journey. The combination of emotional depth and technical prowess makes “Halo” a standout introduction to this exciting new era for the band.
To accompany the single, Beriedir will also release an official music video for “Halo”, bringing the song’s haunting narrative and atmospheric visuals to life.

Beriedir offers a sound that, throughout their discography, spans from progressive power metal — characterized by its signature, neck-breaking choruses — to a contemporary progressive identity, delivering tight rhythms, gargantuan emotional sections, and earth-shattering, surgically precise breakdowns. This powerful musical package is wrapped in introspective themes, melancholic and nostalgic, creating a dark and enveloping aesthetic.
The band originated as a project by frontman Stefano Nüsperli and began their live career in 2015 with the release of their first demo, “The Line”. From that point on, they have participated in numerous musical events, such as Fosch Fest 2016, and have had the opportunity to share the stage with renowned metal acts like Korpiklaani and Pathfinder.
In 2018, they released their debut full-length album, “The Path Beyond the Moon”, which allowed them to reach a broader audience. Following the release of their acoustic EP, “Lullabies Beyond the Moon” (2020), Beriedir signed with Rockshots Records in January 2022 for the release of their second full-length, “AQVA”, which features Ivan Giannini (Vision Divine, Derdian) as a guest on the track “Stormbound”. The album received enthusiastic reviews from the press and was warmly welcomed by listeners. As a bonus track, the band released the single “Send Me An Angel”, a cover of the song by Vision Divine.
Following the album’s release, Beriedir performed several live shows, sharing the stage with prominent bands from both the Italian and international scenes, such as Stratovarius, Elegy, Moonlight Haze, Trick or Treat, Strana Officina, Derdian, Crying Steel, and others.
After a period focused on live performances and production sessions — including the release of a well-received cover of Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary” in 2023 — the band released “Elegies from the Lighthouse”, an EP featuring acoustic reinterpretations of tracks from “AQVA”, in September 2024. Shortly thereafter, they announced their third full-length album, “Liminal Spaces”, scheduled for release in January 2025, once again through Rockshots Records, and preceded by the launch of two singles.
