Novere: With the desire to venture into the sonic paths of dark, slow and heavy music!

Novere - Icarus

Novere is grounded in the gloomy sound of early postmetal. It explores the universe of human emotions and mental struggles, mixing elements of doom black metal and postrock that creates a mix of raw noisy sounds and delicate melancholic downbeats.
