Finnish melodic death metal band Alias Noone's debut album Weight of the World was recorded during 2023-24 at the D-Studios in multiple sessions. The album contains 9 tracks songs that are powerful and melodic without losing the Alias Noone signature heavyness and groove. All the songs contain much more hooks than before. Every song tells you something about the weight of the world and the things that are pushing us down in modern society.

Guitarist Juha-Pekka Tiainen tells about the album:
"Huge feelings, shit loads of work with this album. The way we used to work, totally turned around during the sessions in The Weight of the World. We are truly honoured to release this album! I can’t even portray me feelings while I’m having the first ever album in my hands! Like having a baby. The devastating news of my beloved friend and band mate passing crushed me. I’m so honoured to released this album so the spirit of my friend carries on."
Bass player Antti Valkama continues:
"Making the album was a long and difficult project, as they often are. Tragic things happened during the recording, which make this even more important in its own way. I am very proud of the end result. It shows the handprint and hard work of all of us."
The production is top notch and the sound is bigger than in Alias Noone's previous releases. “We wanted to push the sound as big as possible without losing the things that make us sound the way we do” tells the band. the synths and programming is done by Jarno Hänninen from the band Dead End Finland. Jarno is the producer and engineer as well.
When asked about who will love the album, the band tells that the sound is a mixture of Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, In Flames, Amorphis, Sentenced and more without sounding exactly any of them. “We think our sound is ours, but if you want to put a label on it then the more melodic side of melodic death metal is the closest. There are so much different things in our songs but metal fans will love the album."
