Terra Nova

Terra Nova by HeKz is a double-album progressive metal concept record released in November 2023 that tells a metaphorical and emotional journey about human ambition, inner conflict, and personal transformation. The story woven through the music focuses on the dual sides of the self, the light and the dark, and the ongoing struggle to confront and overcome the darker parts of one’s personality in order to become the person one is truly meant to be.

The album combines powerful instrumentation, lyrical depth, and varied musical styles to reflect this theme. It’s as much a narrative of psychological growth as it is a sonic journey encouraging listeners to face their own internal obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.

Lucia La Rezza appears on Terra Nova providingViolin, Viola and Cello recordings for the tracks Horizons, The Tower and May Day, adding expressive textures that enhance the emotional and cinematic scope of the album’s concept.
