│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After being a decisive key factor in the triumph ║ │
│║ of a bunch of amazing albums, currently ║ │
│║ released/promoted and acclaimed, coming from ║ │
│║ ItaliaàThis time again Simone Mularoni spreads ║ │
│║ out his magical knobs science to reveal to the ║ │
│║ world this terrific album ôRisenö, in the same ║ │
│║ glorious way as he acted for ELDRITCH / ║ │
│║ HATETYLER / ELVENKING and ANCIENT BARDS in ║ │
│║ recent times! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ NOVERIA is like a guild of musicians sharing the ║ │
│║ same passion under a strong relationship with a ║ │
│║ bold focus. It consist of five experienced ║ │
│║ players coming from the ever growing/regenerated ║ │
│║ and talented Italian scene. They were/are ║ │
│║ members of DGM / ASTRA / BATON ROGUE MORGUE / ║ │
│║ SOLISIA / EVIDENCE / EMPYRIOS. Those bands are ║ │
│║ more or less related with Simone Mularoni as an ║ │
│║ engineer/producer or Musician, and of course, ║ │
│║ the style of majestic Power Metal played by this ║ │
│║ new outfit is clearly in the same kind as DGM; ║ │
│║ Progressive/Technical/complex/Powerful with a ║ │
│║ strong Melodic structure and a great level of ║ │
│║ skills, with maybe a more vicious down tuned ║ │
│║ spirit, which is developped in a bombastic ║ │
│║ darker edge and pessimistic overtones! ║ │
│║ Mr. Mularoni also performed a guest guitar solo ║ │
│║ spot on the track ½Fallen From Grace╗,Yet the ║ │
│║ Roman guitar-hero Francesco MatteiÆs skills are ║ │
│║ not underemployed here, because his impressive ║ │
│║ axe performance both in the extremely syncopated ║ │
│║ rhythmic/amazing smoking solo side is superb and ║ │
│║ upscaled at the world class highest point à ║ │
│║ Perfect mark! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ However the real star of the show is vocalist ║ │
│║ Frank Corigliano who delivered a first rate ║ │
│║ singing demonstration, with a proficiency of ║ │
│║ mastery in the testoteronic tenor crooning ║ │
│║ attitude/some tremendous high pitched-vocals/a ║ │
│║ few demented screams and also sporadic grunts ║ │
│║ like an heavenly mix between Mats Leven/Apollo ║ │
│║ Papathanasio/Samuel Nyman and of course Russell ║ │
│║ Allen (ôParalisisö)àFull mark here againàIndeed ║ │
│║ the contemporary SYMPHONY X comparison is ║ │
│║ obvious , the manic Harsh riffing method, the ║ │
│║ incredible and fierce duels between lead guitar ║ │
│║ and keyboards in a harmonic minor mood, the ║ │
│║ subtlility and the precision in the Neo- ║ │
│║ Classical influenced arrangments, the insane ║ │
│║ density in the perfect balance between Symphonic ║ │
│║ background and the Techno Thrash dynamic like ║ │
│║ MEGADETH / ANNIHLATOR meets RISING FORCE with ║ │
│║ reminiscences from TIME REQUIEMàClearly it's the ║ │
│║ same ultra efficient and rewarded recipe already ║ │
│║ used by DGM in superb albums such as ôFrameö or ║ │
│║ 2007Æs ôDifferent Shapesö with less Progressive ║ │
│║ colors and a more dissonant/Industrial flavored ║ │
│║ tricks borrowed to the Swedish Modern Metal ║ │
│║ sound instead! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The only minor low point, is the cover artwork ║ │
│║ which isnÆt ugly, but it looks more like a Z ║ │
│║ movie DVD or a HELLAMMER cover band than the ║ │
│║ real high end Modern Progressive Metal that it ║ │
│║ actually is! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The release date is set for June 10th and itÆs ║ │
│║ already in my TOP 20 for 2014àStrongly and ║ │
│║ warmly recommended! ║ │
