The Eagle
The Eagle is the first record of the Alkaios trilogy.
This progressive metal odyssey blends powerful and intricate compositions with poetic, storytelling-driven lyrics. With no conventional choruses, the songs unfold like a book, inviting the listener into a deep, immersive experience. Inspired by bands like The Ocean, Tesseract, Opeth, and Tool, it pushes NevBorn’s sound further into a realm of dynamic contrasts, refined melodies, and evocative soundscapes.

Daídalos
Daídalos is a one-track concept EP based on the myth of Icarus’s death. Featured by Loïc Rossetti (The Ocean), they imagined and recreated the conversation between Icarus and his father, Dædalus, in the legendary Minotaur maze. The 18-minute piece transmits all the emotions of both heroes’ history, from pure anger to complete ataraxia.

Five Horizons
In the words of Hummus Records: “NevBorn has a message to send, way beyond their five mysterious horizons. Could it be that post-hardcore still has a beating heart ? How do these 5 swiss youngsters dare to pretend to bring anything new to the table ? Heavy drums, massive simplistic riffs and screamed vocals interrupting melancholic spatial ambiances. We all heard this 20 years ago already – but this also means they’re born with it ! This sad, violent and introspective music flows naturally through their veins and poisons matthieu hinderer’s urgent and touching vocals. What could have been a well-educated stylistic homework reveals itself as a true physical journey. Sincere emotions transcripted in guitar distortion that are about to blast the last depressive remains of your adolescents frustrations.”
