Band Nicta Title Dark Days Rip the Light Type LP/EP Company Independent YOR 2003 Style Power Popular Reviews Power metal with black metal additions ![]() Enuma Elish--is a power-prog number based on a 12th century Babylonian/Mesopotamic poem. Given the grand scale of the material, their music rightfully has a lot of change-ups and movements. The vocals sounded a little high for me to make out the words without a lyric sheet, but I really liked the use of the black vocals. Wrathful--seems a bit confused on what it wants to be. It started with a great speed riff that could've carried the entire song then fell into slower minor riffs that really oppose the pissed-off lyrical content. Divine Deception--flowed melodically enough that I don't think it needed its stand alone black parts. The Darkest Inner Shadow--more raw in sound and consisting of light/heavy parts that use more black vocals than regular. Keys are more for background than lead riffs. It's the most consistent and the best of the CD. Nicta definately has some power metal talent. I haven't heard that much power metal with black metal additions to say whether it's a trend or not, but given the multitudes of bands that still sound like Helloween, any attempt to expand the genre with parts of another is a welcome one.
