Nocturna - melodic power pop from Italy
Nocturna
Of Sorcery And Darkness
Scarlet Records
19 April 2024
The central premise of Nocturna is to take the elements of Europower metal and pair it all up with gothic-pop sensibilitis and let's see what happens! The sound is very upbeat, danceable, very melodic, catchy and with operatic singing. On paper, the idea may seem crazy or perhaps even unworkable, but when you hear the music there is no doubt that power metal is the driving force. The singing is a duo of one high voice, which perhaps sounds like it fits power metal in a way that fans would expect: melodic, clear and pleasant on the ears. Then, there is a higher voice that sounds like it comes from opera. The combination, the contrast, the unity, the duality, it's all very easy to get into, in particular for fans of power metal. The lyrics are warnings of what happens when people choose a life of deceit, manipulation and greed for power. Those actions will cause a reaction and when it comes back around it's not a pretty sight.
