Independent Release
Review by Tony Cannella
Noxiferis are a new Gothic/Progressive metal entity from Poland. This 5-member band has just issued their new demo and I have say that “Signum Noctis” proved to be a worthwhile and enjoyable listen. First thing that is quite obviously from the get-go is that the songs on “Signum Noctis” are sung in Polish. The CD includes 7-songs and a playing time of just over 45-minutes. Noxiferis mixes standard 4 and 5 minute songs with more epic type 7 and 8 minute numbers. There are certainly some heavy guitar riffs, lots of intricate musicianship and melodies. The lead vocals are handled by Eydis, who does a remarkable job giving the songs a semi-operatic touch. I have to say that one of the biggest highlights for me was the 9-minute instrumental “Mrok”. On this track, the band has delivered a complex and interesting instrumental. “Signum Noctis” is a great offering from Noxiferis. Even though this is a demo, it has the look, feel and presentation of a professional release.“Signum Noctis” is available for a free download on the band’s official My Space profile.
