MOONLIGHT HAZE: Italian symphonic power metal act unveils "Awakening" video


MOONLIGHT HAZE has released a video for “Awakening”, third single taken from the highly anticipated new album “Beyond”, to be released on May 23, 2025 by Scarlet Records.

"Nature and the change of the seasons are the mirror and metaphor of an inner reality that is reaching its prime and finally emerging in all its pureness and power. Beauty can be found in the little things in life, like blooming flowers and the mild warmth of the Sun on an early spring morning after gray and rainy days, suggesting the listener a different and more simple, yet not easier, point of view on the outside and inner world".


Video by Marco Falanga & Beatrice Demori (Oround)

Lead by sensational frontwoman Chiara Tricarico (currently one of the live vocalists of Avantasia and special guest on the “Highlights From The Revenge Of Odysseus” 2022 Manowar EP), MOONLIGHT HAZE has joined forces with extraordinary producer Sascha Paeth for their upcoming fourth studio album.

“Beyond” is a perfect mixture of heavy, melodic and super catchy songs recorded in the old fashioned way with little to no edits – MOONLIGHT HAZE went ʻorganicʼ this time, with a little help from Sascha Paeth, who was able to make some of the classic features of the band emerge and shine even more.

The Italian unit keeps delivering its trademark killer refrains while exploring new musical territory, further experimenting throughout ten tracks highlighted by yet another stellar vocal performance courtesy of Chiara Tricarico.

MOONLIGHT HAZE’s fourth record is a journey through time and space, galactic landscapes and earthly elements; a never-ending quest for a deeper reality and a purest inner truth. Soul searching symphonic power metal, if you please.
