The first approach was so and so and I don't know why but I was expecting some sort of "dark/prog metal record" but after a few second I've seen I was completely wrong. Neronoia is a joint venture that marries dark heroes Canaan and Colloquio a band I'm sorry to say I don't like that much. If compared to Canaan this project is more soft and listenable, it's strange 'cause do to the Italian language used by the singer I couldn't but think to some depressed/inspired famous singer projects from here above all to Fausto Rossi (Faust'o) and to early La Crus but take it with a grain of salt. Musically this dark, heavy new wave with a strong emphasis on bass dynamics but I could bet people into My Dying Bride, Moonspell or some Fields of Nephilim wouldn't dislike it 'cause the global effect is that minus loss of the rock guitars. Yes, I think you can hear the Caanan imprinting but as I already told you this is more melodic and melancholic. The lyrics follow in the same direction with this typical "dark days coming" feeling all over the place. If you're into dark music but you despise those plastic-fake keyboards sounds of mid eighties well, this well produced and quite refined.
