It’s been too long. Six years since the release of the promising potential of their debut album, Legends, finally comes the second album from Los Angeles’ progressive power metal band NOVAREIGN.
NOVAREIGN gained quite a bit of traction with their 2018 album, Legends, which was praised as “a bombastic mix of epic metal” (BraveWords), “an instrumental fireworks show” (Metal Bandcamp) and “one of the most addictive power metal records I've heard in a long time” (Two Guys Metal). Additionally, the ensuing live shows that followed its release including dates with Michael Schenker, Exmortus, Angra, White Wizzard, Rhapsody Ov Fire, Act of Defiance, Bonded By Blood, GloryHammer, Graveshadow, PowerGlove and Holy Grail, in addition to festivals like Mad With Power, Hyperspace, Ruinfest and Frost And Fire.
While only 7 songs Shifting the Axis of the World is almost an hour of NOVAREIGN returning with their highly anticipated blend of melodic power metal with progressive complexity—featuring rapid twin-guitar harmonies, intricate rhythms, and epic soaring vocals.
FFO: Dragonforce, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Exmortus, Edguy, Dream Theater.
