Description/Reviews: 

The sound of NeversiN mixes hard rock and classic metal with progressive influences. The songs are different one from each other both in feeling and intention but preserving the sound of the band as the basic link and trademark, almost instantly recognisable. The aim of the band is to explore the sub-genres of rock and progressive in order to give each album a wide variety of sounds and colours, learning to do this from the great masters of rock Queen and Toto. Their songs go from straight hard rock to slow acoustic ballads, passing through evocative and sometimes complex instrumental passages.

Description/Reviews: 

A vaguely epic theme to the song titles is joined by a cool sleeve, and both seem suited to the genre tag. “The Dark Forest” then starts it off, a soft beginning full of mood before a massive launch. It’s epic, big and preposterous! There’s a huge wall of sound and the multiple vocals are banked in a choir before ideas just come one after the other. When a straighter section arrives it’s under pinned by some cool music to make it a very bright opening.
