Sepia EP Review
by Christine Parastatidou - Behind The Veil Ezine (Greece)

Niota is one of the most interesting band's I had the chance to come across recently, simply cause they manage to combine various styles and blend in, in an ideal way, melody and aggressiveness and in fact I don't know whether this might sound crazy or not, but they have this ability to turn every single riff they play into melody! Weird isn't it? However, that's the only truth and it's called talent!

Their music is easily recognizable, characteristic and innovative and reminded me a bit of EVERGREY and their disbanded copatriots NERO CIRCUS! Niota come from the UK and they play quality melodic hardcore and I also have to congratulate here their singer who truly has a stunning voice full of potential. He offers us a colorful and warm interpretation, which combined, with the amazing riffs and melodic lines creates a breath taking sound!

The best thing with this demo is that the more you listen to it the more you grow to like it and on the other hand its only drawback is the fact that it contains 2 songs only... Moreover the production has power and volume and it's really clear and heavy, revealing a band ready to be signed! I LOVED the song "2000 Miles"! Invest!
