Where Metal Meets the End of the World.
Order of Minerva is not just a band — it is a world. Born from the creative vision of guitarist Eric Antonello, Order of Minerva stands at the intersection of Progressive Metal and cinematic storytelling. Their music does not simply hit hard — it builds entire worlds, note by note, riff by riff. Set in a dystopian future where water has become the ultimate currency of power, the Order of Minerva universe is as vast as it is visceral. Every album is a chapter. Every song, a battle.
The Sound of a New Age
Technically relentless and emotionally charged, Order of Minerva's sound is defined by intricate guitar work, polished modern production and the soaring, powerfully expressive vocals of Elisa. This is Progressive Melodic Metal at its most ambitious — music built for listeners who demand both brutality and beauty, complexity and catharsis. If you love bands like Epica, Nightwish, or Haken, Order of Minerva will take you further.
The World of Order of Minerva
In a future ravaged by climate collapse, water is no longer a right — it is the currency of survival. Corporations rule. Nations have fallen. And somewhere in the ruins of what was once civilization, a resistance is rising. This is the world Order of Minerva has built — a science fiction universe as cinematic as it is brutal, told through progressive metal compositions that refuse to follow rules. The story is not background. It is the music.
Meet the Band
Order of Minerva is led by guitarist and composer Eric Antonello, a Venice-based musician with years of international touring experience across multiple projects and genres. The band's signature sound is shaped by Eric's technical guitar approach and the commanding vocal presence of Elisa, whose range brings both power and emotion to the cinematic world they have created together.
