Novareign Releases New Song "Heavy Heart" and Gives Album Details for "Legends"
Influenced by bands like Iron Maiden and Dream Theater to Dragonforce and Angra, Novareign are the next generation of progressive power metal telling stories in musical literature speaking to a generation influenced by epic fantasy tales, comic books and video games. Having made a reputation for themselves through energy-abounding live shows filled with nonstop shredding guitar interplay and powerful traditional metal vocals Novareign will debut their album on Feb. 16th 2018 via M-Theory Audio. "Legends", is an hour-plus of over-the-top, shred-tastic epic, yet melodic, power and progressive metal.
""Heavy Heart" is the collaborative of [former Exmortus guitarist] Balmore Lemus and [vocalist] David Marquez. While Lemus had stored the guitar melodies in his back pocket for years, lyrics composed by Marquez spawned the appropriate time for the song to make its outing into the world," explains guitarist Danny Nobel. "It is no secret that the number of people who suffer from depression, anxiety, or anger is running rampant. It’s a heartbreaking topic that caught the eye of David, who felt that it was too important to be ignored, and deserved to be addressed. The lyrics remind anyone who suffers that they can always rise above the pain, to remember that they are not alone, and there is always a choice."
In addition, to the audio stream of "Heavy Heart", please check out the band’s personal, short and insightful videos for each song, including first two singles "Heavy Heart" https://youtu.be/FR2UCDA_Gx8 and "Beyond the Cold" https://youtu.be/qDPuIy9ZAHA. The full mini-documentary will be released the week of release.
Legends will be released on CD and digitally and is available for pre-order from the label’s webshop at www.m-theoryaudio.com/store, as well as Amazon or Bandcamp.
