2024 is set to be a historic year, especially for Italian cult progressive metallers, Athena XIX: formerly known as Athena, they are reunited with frontman and founding member Fabio Lione, who is also the vocalist of their labelmates Angra among others.

Lione's return marks a new era for the band as they're preparing the release of their much-anticipated fourth studio album, Everflow Part 1: Frames Of Humanity, on October 25 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

Today, Athena XIX release the new single, "Frames Of Humanity". Stream the song here, and watch a music video below.

"The Conscience Of Everything" lyric video:

Originating in 1991, Athena released their most successful album to date, A New Religion?, in 1998 - still recognized and appropriately rewarded as the best prog metal album of an Italian band ever. The original band members finally reunited in 2019 - after several lineup changes and a hiatus - writing new songs which will be released in October via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

Athena XIX are:

Fabio Lione - vocals
Simone Pellegrini - guitars
Gabriele Guidi - keyboards
Alessio Sabella - bass
