Australia’s Victoria K has unleashed her debut album “Essentia“, out now as of April 24, 2020 via Rockshots Records. The full length was produced by Lee Bradshaw and features special guest Michalina Malisz (Eluveitie). In celebration of the album’s release, Victoria K is sharing her new music video ‘Matrix’ featuring Sheri Vengeance (Black Like Vengeance, ex. Ne Obliviscaris).

The video can be viewed on YouTube ➤ https://youtu.be/2UN_4XPKH9g

Victoria K adds about the track:
The Matrix is about what the world currently is and to what state it may evolve into due human ignorance and arrogance.  As people, we believe we have total control over the natural path of the universe, but in fact, we just become a product of what we put out.  Slaves to our own creation and narrative.

ABOUT:
The Melbourne singer/songwriter has made her mark on the rock and metal scene with the release of her debut single ‘Monster‘ in 2016, featuring guitar work by Brett Garsed (John Farnham Band) along with her 2019 follow up track ‘Lacuna‘ distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Warner Music Group (Australia) and is the lead single off the upcoming album.

The single garnered a lot of media praise and created an opportunity for VICTORIA K to support Swiss folk metal giants Eluveitie for their May 2019 tour date in Melbourne, a performance that had the crowd chanting for an encore.

Although the album was originally a solo project, it has now developed into the current band structure with each member bringing their own energy and experience to the collective.  The band is looking forward to collaborating on future releases and is now heavily focused on the release of this debut full length in April.

VICTORIA K‘s talented songwriting and compositional influences include Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish and Kamelot amongst other current bands in the European metal scene and her music have been likened to be a blend of these influences. Victoria K has racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube with her own original creations and through featured videos alongside a number of talented musicians covering a plethora of songs. Victoria K’s covers include Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper”, Nightwish’s “Last Ride of the Day”, Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” and Kamelot’s “Insomnia”, the latter of which received attention from the band themselves on Twitter and led to a meeting of talents when the American power metal band found themselves in Melbourne during their 2018 ‘The Shadow Theory’ Australian tour.
