The First Three Sins of Domo-137
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Nomera and their Domo-137 album.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features a swath of incendiary riffing, and the bass work is composed of the heavy (complex) texture-atmosphere of post-metal with the heavy (rich, distorted and powerful) structure of progressive metal riffs. There are moments of clean rhythmic chords and solid bass lines that pop out. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves omitting the vocals and replacing them with an instrumental atmosphere. The Third Sin—The Percussions: delves into the vast world of multiple drum strikes of various tempos and beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Music that transports the listener through a never-ending soundscape
When the listener presses the play button, they are welcomed to the opening piece, Ocaso, which features a clean and calming riffage opening—followed by a warm soundscape, solid bass riffs, and drum beats.
As one continues their never-ending journey, with the second track, Kamn, and the remaining three pieces, where the listener’s ears will find that Domo-137 is a beautiful and breathtakingly composed and well-arranged release. With its diversity/amalgam of styles of elements such as post-metal, progressive metal, core, and death metal all revolving around metal as the central pillar.
Simultaneously, one can appreciate the art with its well-executed atmospheres loaded with exquisite sound quality, which cope with increasingly elaborate soundscapes, guitar/bass and drum work, all provided and delivered by tight and astonishing devilmanship.
Domo-137 is a perfect release from the moment of pressing that play button, consisting of extraordinary instrumental composition to the listener’s ears. It is an ideal balance of giving the listener’s ears various tempos, metallic tones, pianissimo to fortissimo and enormous song build-up moments (with a touch of head-nodding moments) which utilises a swath of incendiary of instrumental artistry.
Track three is a pivotal moment. Una Mattina is the tranquil moment of the piece, having this vibe/feel atmosphere of the song Forever Autumn, a song from the War Of The Worlds soundtrack. All provided and delivered by potent and astonishing devilmanship floored to perfection.
Domo-137‘s production, sound, and atmosphere-soundscape are perfection in themselves—with its crisp and clear sound, topped with five equally solid, strongly composed songs and music that transports the listener through never-ending soundscapes

The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins, our thoughts on Nomera and their Domo-137 album.
