Novareign - LEGENDS CD

For those in the know, Southern California’s Novareign have been steadily and surely building a buzz and reputation for themselves in recent years. The group has become a fixture with energy-abounding live shows filled with nonstop shredding guitar interplay and powerful traditional metal vocals. Having honed their attack and line-up, the band are now ready to march forth internationally with their debut full-length, Legends, an hour-plus of shred-tastic, over-the-top, epic power and progressive metal.
M-Theory Audio is pleased to bring another amazing and promising young band to the greater masses. “I’ve long been intrigued by the talent and potential of this band,” explains label founder Marco Barbieri. “Coming to know them through their guitarist Balmore Lemus (an early member of Exmortus and touring guitarist for Warbringer), I’ve watched this young band’s development. Upon starting M-Theory, I knew that Novareign was a band I wanted to have on our roster. They exemplify the vision I had for the label – young, extremely talented, down-to-earth and in it for the right reasons with a good look and intense live show.”
Metal Assault defined Novareign as “nothing short of supremely impressive... [they] appear to have all the ingredients to carry the torch for years to come.” Influenced by bands like Iron Maiden and Dream Theater to Dragonforce and Angra, this is the new age of Progressive Power Metal, telling stories in musical literature and speaking to a generation influenced by epic fantasy tales, comic books and video games.
Recently the band was a finalist in the battle to get a spot on this year’s Knotfest Meets Ozzfest, and in January they will support White Wizzard on a run of U.S. dates.
