Italian prog power metallers Athena XIX (formerly known as Athena), featuring Fabio Lione, have signed to Atomic Fire Records. After several line-up changes and long hiatus, the original band members finally reunited in 2019 and start writing new songs for the comeback album, which will be released next year.

About the musical direction of Athena XIX, Lione says, "It's a massive evolution of our original sound. We touch many styles, and the result is very interesting, featuring a lot of details, ideas connected to the concept etc... I'm sure people will be surprised listening to these songs and I really can't think of any similar sounding band at the moment. If I had to describe our sound in just one word, I would say 'unique'!"
