Novus Rex biography
Founded in Colorado, USA in 2008

US act NOVUS REX as of today consist J. R. Fernandez (keyboards, drums, guitars, vocals and his son A. I. Fernandez (guitars, bass, vocals). Initially a creative vehicle for and by the former, also involving the late Anthony Davies (vocals), it is afer the release of their debut effort Plowshares Into Swords (2009), that the junior member of the Fernandez familiy got involved according to the album credits.
Their sole CD to date is described as a creation inspired by Bible prophecy, history and current events. As far as musical references go, ELP, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield are three of many names cited as inspitational by the elder Fernandez on the band homepage.

— First review of this album —

US outfit NOVUS REX is described as a father and son duo, albeit on this initial disc it would appear that the latter was only briefly involved. Another participant was vocalist Anthony Davis, who sadly passed away before the CD was finished. What remains, at least as far as credited work on this production goes, is that the Novus Rex debut effort "Plowshares into Swords" to most intents and purposes is a solo vehicle for J. R. Fernandez, put together with some additional help.

"Plowshares into Swords" comes across as a slightly flawed item, but one that does keep a high standard on some levels. If you have a soft spot for 70's sounding symphonic art rock, a particular fancy for instrumental soloing in general and ones conveyed by organ and keyboards in particular, this initial effort by Novus Rex is one that warrants an inspection.

Thanks to windhawk for the artist addition. and to Quinino for the last updates
