CARPE NOTA

US quartet CARPE NOTA was formed sometime around 2006, and is from what I understand an active live entity as well as a recording unit. "Carpe Nota" is their first CD, and was self released in the spring of 2012.

"Carpe Nota" is a fairly well made production, and while it isn't a brilliant one as I experience it, the songs are fairly accomplished, pleasant at worst and compelling at best. Not a CD that will draw in new fans to this type of music, but those who suspect they might enjoy a blend of instrumental hard rock, metal and symphonic art rock, with a distinct focus on the latter throughout, should check out this promising US foursome.
