Description/Reviews: 

While "Aequilibrium" is not nearly as catchy as Noveria's previous releases, it does feature some of the band's strongest songs. Overall the album is another solid modern power/progressive release which will appeal to fans with its engaging and relevant story line and wonderful melodies and solos as the band hits its core strengths of musicianship, performance and production. However, the once well marked line that set Noveria apart has begun to blur.

Description/Reviews: 

Noveria can be seen as the darker little brother of DGM, another Italian power prog band, and their sound is quite similar: melodic power metal with heavy keyboard incorporation, a pummeling rhythm section and occasionally unconventional song structures. The sound calls Symphony X to mind, as well as Evergrey who also love their dark emotional themes without turning to harsher soundscapes. Dealing with a complex and sensitive subject while employing such high-speed bombast is a tightrope act few can pull off, but Noveria have an ace up their sleeve with Francesco Corigliano’s voice: the man is extremely expressive, and songs like opener “Shock” would not be as strong without him.

Description/Reviews: 

“Risen” may be a debut release, but the Noveria team most definitely doesn't consist of musical rookies. Featuring members of Italian outfits like DGM and Empyrios, “Risen” gives another look at the power/prog mixture with nine above-board offerings that showcase great musical ability, technical proficiency, and a solid mixture of both style and substance.
