It´s characteristic style put together powerful riffs and drums with an important melodic charge, great orchestration and the versatile voice of the soprano Itea Benedicto, getting influences from several Metal genres (like thrash, progressive, gothic, power...) as well as from Classical Music (specially from Baroque and Romanticism) and, sometimes, from Folk. In their songs it´s usual to find passages of high elegance and with a lot of arrangements, sometimes with some theatricality.
There was still another year to pass for Níobeth to get a consolidated formation and so the work began to give results, approximately in August 2005 with the first concerts of the band.
So, they prepared their first studio demo, recorded and mixed finally in August and September 2006. Under the name "Infinite Ocean Of Stars", the demo includes 6 tracks, five of own composition and an adaptation of The Magic Flute - Queen Of The Night Aria by W.A. Mozart.
In the months after the demo was completed, some changes in the formation happened when Santi (keyboard and violin) and Alberto (drums) joined the band.
From there and until the beginning of 2008 the band played in some festivals and began to tour different cities of Spain, with concerts in Madrid, Sevilla, Alicante, Valencia, Murcia, Cantabria and Albacete, sharing the stage with bands such as Saratoga and Centinela in some of the best arenas in the country (Sala Q, Sala Gamma, Sala Durango, etc…).
With this first presentation card the band got very good reviews in national and international specialized press as Rock Hard, for example, as well as in different radios. Also, they are selected for various contests, both local and national, winning the second prize in Tobarock.
The demo "Infinite Ocean Of Stars" sold very well in Spain through the web and concerts. In 2007, Níobeth appeared in the international MetalMatanza compilation, which includes bands from South America, Spain and U.S.A., opening ways to new listeners outside of their country.
In the beginning of 2008, the band temporarily stopped their live shows to focus on the songs which would later compose their first album.
The album, under the name "The Shining Harmony Of Universe" was recorded in August and September 2008 at the Nazgul Sound Studios (Forever Slave, Opera Magna, Dragonfly, etc.) in Valencia, Spain. Produced by Fernando Asensi and Níobeth, the album was released in October 2008. The album has a length of 70 minutes and a total of 13 tracks, including again the cover of The Magic Flute - Queen Of The Night Aria by W.A. Mozart and a bonus track, "Kowasani Furuete", an adaptation of one of the songs on the album, "A Frightening Shiver", with the lyrics in Japanese language, in what supposes a humble homage to the victims of the nuclear attacks at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In 2011, Itea announced the end of the band.
I Need You To Need Me
Niobeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep my breath for cold nights.
I need every drop
of your love to feel free.
I need you to need me.
Your fingers travelling
all over my body,
your caresses building
my way.
I will care for you.
Embrace me in the long wait.
In this, our sad wait
I will dream every night alone.
I will count every smile,
the ones I sent to you,
I treasure all of them,
the whisper of my wings
full of hope to see
you again, again...
Then I´ll choose a star for you.
I need you to need me...
I won´t let myself fall
because I love you.
Listen to the breezee.
Keep my breath for cold nights.
I need every drop
of your love to feel free.
I need you to need me...
The lyrics of Niobeth's song "I Need You To Need Me" describe a deep longing for love and connection. The opening lines, "Listen to the breezee. Keep my breath for cold nights," suggest a sense of solitude and longing for warmth and comfort. The singer then goes on to express how she needs every drop of love from the person she's singing to in order to feel free. This implies that the person's love is essential to her emotional well-being and sense of freedom.
The chorus, "I need you to need me," is repeated throughout the song and reinforces the message that the singer needs to feel wanted and loved. She is willing to carry on and embrace the waiting that comes with love, but she also dreams alone every night, counting every smile that she sent to the person she loves. The line "the whisper of my wings full of hope to see you again, again" suggests that the love between the two is powerful and worth holding onto.
The final lines of the song, "I won´t let myself fall because I love you," are a strong declaration of the singer's commitment to love and the person she's singing to. The overall message of the song is one of deep love and longing, yet also hope and determination to hold onto that love.
