REVIEW: Noctiferia - Per Aspera Arctic Music Group, 2002
7/10
Noctiferia - Per Aspera - cover art Slovenia may now add its name to the list of nations with capable extreme metal bands, though it would not be a surprise to hear that there are even more lesser-known bands lurking there. The music here is akin to newer Morbid Angel, both in its dark overtones and occasional meandering structure. Guitarists Gianni and Igor collaborate well for the mouth-watering "Fond of Lies", and again on the asphyxiating breakdown of "Aught Against Thee". The beast that is Noctiferia only really becomes a threat on "Never Rue", when it bares its claws and fangs to show you a lethal possibility which the other tracks fail to do. Silky liner notes are reinforced by the able lyrics printed upon them, an element often lacking in bands which write in English yet do not speak it as their mother tongue. "Per Aspera" is a moderately impressive effort which shows potential.
