for the power metal fanatics: Nocturna (U.K.): Lucidity EP

Nocturna (U.K.): Lucidity EP

Symphonic, super melodic, and catchy power metal as Nocturna plays it spares no effort to create choruses that will capture the attention of the supporters of sing-along, upbeat power metal. Catchy, to the point of straight-up poppy melodies, Nocturna will appeal quickly to people that appreciate this genre; the band has all the elements required: good singing, good songs, uptempo rocking, melodies, shredding and the sound of modern power metal. Although a new entry into the genre, with this EP the band has now put themselves in the conversation of up-and-coming bands that play power metal.

These four songs illustrate a professional attitude by a band ready for more exposure. Look into this band if you are into happy/positive Stratovarius and melodic power metal in general. Again, this EP is no demo, but a solid recording by a band that is hungry. On the last song, “Cast Assured,” the band shows a more experimental side, with some screamed vocals, and proggier elements. This song shows a contrast with the other songs, so the band is willing to explore a bit outside of power metal, too.

Nocturna’s debut EP called “Lucidity” will be released on February 17, 2015. www.facebook.com/nocturnametal www.soundcloud.com/nocturnametal
