Valoria is a powerhouse of New England scene veterans, rooted in the heart of Providence, Rhode Island. With countless hours dedicated to refining their sound — an electrifying blend of late-2000s emo, jazz-infused vocals, and relentless metalcore — they’ve carved out a distinct identity.
Into the Void describes their music as “both technically mesmerizing and emotionally raw.” Their live performances are just as intense, delivering pure energy and an unshakable stage presence. Valoria has shared the stage with scene heavyweights such as A Skylit Drive, Alesana, and Wolves at the Gate, proving their place among the genre’s elite. Their debut EP, Dead Languages, has already surpassed 500K streams, with Distorted Sound calling it “an unrelenting, cathartic experience that demands repeat listens.” With momentum on their side, Valoria continue to push boundaries, leaving audiences hungry for their highly anticipated new EP slated for release in 2026.
Valoria just released their newest single “Acceptance” alongside an official visualizer that represents peace, but yet feels confrontational as well between the two types of vocals. The emotional process of the single is being able to fully understand that accepting that letting go of someone toxic can help you find your identity once again. The soundscape of “Acceptance” is immersive and the instrumentation blends well with the vocals that prevents the single becoming too dense. From start to finish; the listener will be looped into a situation that they might be able to resonate to or understand how someone might feel being in this type of situation. Emotional chaos that finds clarity.
EP “From Me To You” will be out June 26th!
Interviewer: How did the band first come together?
Valoria: “Our guitarist was looking to start a new project coming out of the pandemic and became the Nick Fury of the band, as he slowly assembled us all together like Avengers. Rick and Dino were bandmates in a previous band after Dino responded to a post online searching for a bassist. Being veterans in the local scene, Rick had crossed paths with Joey and Justin in separate previous bands, so they were at the top of his list when looking for a vocalist and another guitarist to round out the lineup. Our drummer Jon went to middle school with Dino, so when we were looking for a drummer, Dino reached out to Jon and the rest is history.“
Interviewer: Where did the band name come from?
Valoria: “Valoria is based on the word “valor” which is Latin for bravery or courage. It’s meant to represent the bravery, strength, and honor we all have in order to break through the difficult challenges life throws at us.“
Interviewer: What themes naturally appear in your music?
Valoria: “Mental health and general introspection are common themes. We tackle the struggles and internal conversations someone may have, whether it’s acknowledging toxic behaviors or having break-through moments of healing and accomplishment.“
Interviewer: How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you before?
Valoria” “High energy, dynamic and catchy melodies combined with instrumentals inspired from late 2000’s emo and metalcore soundscapes, but with a modern polish and a hint of saxophone.”
Interviewer: What bands or artists shaped your music the most?
Valoria: “Hands Like Houses, Underoath, Emarosa, Saosin, and Dayseeker have all been large inspirations for us. But to be honest, there are so many more bands that we all collectively appreciate and look up to while trying to put our own spin on things.”
Interviewer: What makes your band different from others in your scene?
Valoria: “Two things. One, our live performance and our desire to create a deep connection with a room full of strangers. Two, integrating saxophone into our music in a way that feels natural.”
Interviewer: What kind of energy do you try to bring onstage?
Valoria: “We’re always aiming for that PSA 10 Charizard energy.”
Interviewer: What keeps you motivated creatively?
Valoria: “Camaraderie, continuous inspiration from all sorts of different places, and the sense of accomplishment and excitement that comes with putting new music out. When we’re able to share our stories with others, or when someone shares their story with us, or tells us how our music really connected with them and helped them in some way are all different ways of refueling us to continue creating.”
Interviewer: What’s one thing you’ve learned from being in a band?
Valoria: “There are so many things working against the success of a band, but with the right group of people, the right mindset, and the persistent willingness to learn and grow, the rewards you get from being in a band can’t be found anywhere else.”
Interviewer: What’s next for the band?
Valoria: “We have a new EP releasing on June 26th called “From Me To You” that we’re really excited about, so we’ll be supporting that release with several shows along the East Coast.”
Interviewer: What do you want new listeners to remember after hearing your music?
Valoria: “To remember the connection they had to our music as it was playing, to remember what stuck emotionally, and to remember our band name 🙂“
