Editorial Reviews

Hailing from central New Jersey, NORA has built a reputation for excellence both in the realm of live performance and in the the studio. In the seventh year of their existence, NORA continues to re-invent themselves, incorporating new elements into their repetoire, while retaining the same core mix of groove and chaos that have served them well in past releases. Since their Ferret Records debut, and through the EP ("The Neverendingyouline"), LP ("Loser's Intuition") on Trustkill Records, NORA has refused to remain static in their approach to songwriting. The results are both ear-poundingly heavy and tastefully melodic, with a rhythm section employing both a frenzied set of tempo changes and a finely tuned sense of groove and style. Their latest record, entitled "Dreamers And Deadmen", provides ten different perspectives on a common theme. It encompasses the struggle of the dreamer in a world where creativity, individuality, and purpose seem to be in short supply! , and the depressing drudgery of daily life threatens to drag down even the strongest of heart. Ranging from messages of glowing positivity, to examinations of self-doubt in the face of failure, to the simple truths of finding balance and sticking to your guns, the lyrics on NORA’s latest Trustkill full-length effort reflect a band who continues to grow, mature and speak intelligently about the issues in the world around them.

4.0 out of 5 stars D&D is killer!, October 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dreamers & Deadmen (Audio CD)

D&D is killer. It is the only cd I've listened to for the last three weeks. Every song is pure Nora but none of the songs sound alike. "The Goddam Champion" is one the heaviest songs I've ever heard. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I think Nora is a very solid band. Their only downfall is that they are a bit one-sided. A lot of their songs on this album sound similar due to the one-dimensional writing. It's still a very decent release, and if you like their past releases, this is a must have.

Nora is a band with awsome potential and spunk, I got this cd, with poison the well's "tear from the red" and it is a great cd and band. They are aggresive and loud, Nora brings the awsome sound of metal back into buisness, check these guys out, and you wont be short of amazed.
