Portuguese Symphonic Death Metallers GODIVA, have unvailed an official video for their new single “Media God”. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album “Hubris”, due for release on February 3rd, 2023.
GODIVA is one of the established bands of the Portuguese Symphonic Death Metal scene.
The quintet formed, in 1999 in Famalicão, released their first recording as a promotional CD entitled “Tales To Be Untold” (2000). Followed by the “Traces Of Irony” (2002) recorded at Rec n’Roll Studios and produced by Rui Danim and Luís Barros (Tarântula). This was a significant mark in the band’s affirmation on the scene. In 2007, “Spiral” EP emerges recorded at Ultrasound Studios and produced by Daniel Cardoso (ANATHEMA) and, like its predecessor, played an important role in the band’s consolidation in the Portuguese Metal scene, gathering excellent reviews, national and international.
After an interregnum of 11 years, GODIVA returns to the stage, debuting their new line-up and sound with a memorable concert at Vagos Metal Fest, accompanied by an orchestra of about 50 musicians and a sold out concert at Hard Rock Café Porto.
This year they were lucky, even with COVID-19 restrictions, enough to give two concerts this summer, both sold out: one in Lisbon, at RCA Club in a special edition of Laurus Nobilis Music Fest and recently on the latest edition of Riverstone Fest.
