about

The full-length album was produced by Lee Bradshaw and features special guest Michalina Malisz (Eluveitie). 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), being the lead single off her 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 an own energy and experience to the collective. The band is looking forward to collaborate on future releases and is now heavily focused on the release of this debut album.
Victoria K adds: "Essentia is Latin for 'essence': the indispensable quality of something that determines its very nature or character. So I guess the album as a whole tries to tackle and define the very nature of humanity. In a way, I’m trying to unravel the complexity of human essence and emotion. It all hopefully leads to being struck by a moment of Sonder - therefore the realization that everyone, including strangers, has a life as complex as our own, despite our lack of awareness of it."
Victoria K's talented songwriting and compositional influences include Evanescence, Within Temptation, Nightwish and Kamelot among other current bands in the European metal scene and her music has 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 having received attention from the band on Twitter, leading to a meeting of talents when the American power metalleers found themselves in Melbourne during their Australian The Shadow Theory tour in 2018.
