Germany’s Neaera must have sold their souls to Satan himself because in less than two years, they have released a demo, signed a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records two months after that and are just preparing to release their second full-length album—in twelve months!!—on that label.
Neaera needed to do something different with their sophomore CD and instead they seem to have followed the status quo.
With all these subjects receiving notice via Neaera’s vocals, it becomes increasingly obvious that alongside the breakdowns, brutality and infectious riffs, this band has a collective head on their shoulders and are deeper than your typical pissed-off pack of metalheads.

Neaera was formed by the guitarist of death/grind metal band Malzan in 2003, when Tobias Buck wanted to explore more melodic songwriting with polished production and The Black Dahlia Murder type of scream vocals.
As I type this, I'm listening to Neaera's "Rising Tide of Oblivion." The musicianship is absolutely impeccable with Stephan Keller and Tobias Buck's razor-sharp guitar work, Benjamin Donath's deep, smoothly-executed bass lines, and the tight, flawlessly-brutal drumming of Sebastian Heldt.
Neaera has been unleashed and have proven with "Rising tide..." that they are fully capable of proudly performing alongside heavyweights such as Impious, Krisiun, Deicide, Heaven Shall Burn, among many more ultra-tight bands.

It’s tempting to dismiss Neaera as repetitive European metalcore, but they way they’re steadily improving on record, it’s getting more and more difficult to resort to the oft-used “stick with Heaven Shall Burn and Caliban” line.
Neaera are still obsessed with that ubiquitous Gothenburg sound, with several tracks dutifully adhering to the blueprint, from the soaring “Heavenhell,” to “Desecrators” and its melodic flourishes by guitarists Tobias Buck and Stefan Keller, to the ace title track.
At a time when labelmates Unearth and As I Lay Dying are attracting the majority of attention, Neaera are steadily proving to be just as capable.

Siamo nell'antica Grecia e Neaera è la protagonista di una serie di dolorosi eventi: viene comprata come schiava, costretta alla prostituzione e poi riscattata da un facoltoso amante, che non esita però a ripudiarla non appena si rende conto dei suoi trascorsi.
Neaera vuole la libertà, ma è destinata a vedere frustrati tutti i propri sforzi.
I Neaera stanno esattamente a metà strada tra le band di Göteborg e gli As I Lay Dying, e mancano doppiamente il bersaglio: siamo molto lontani sia dalla raffinatezza degli inarrivabili predecessori che dall'impatto più genuinamente "core" dei compagni di scuderia.

THE RISING TIDE OF OBLIVION swoops in courtesy of Munster, Germany’s oddly-monikered Neaera (in truth, Neaera was a Greek goddess, sold into slavery at a young age, and later forced to “buy” her way out).
Neaera is only in their second year of existence and certainly have room to grow as songwriters but THE RISING TIDE OF OBLIVION is certainly a good starting point and hopefully gaining some more experience will benefit them on their next release.
Time may not be on Neaera’s side since metal is an ever-evolving beast but these guys are just starting out and should still have several more trips to the well left in them.

Releasing albums by Winter Solstice, The red death, and now Neaera within two months of each other wouldn't seem like the best decision to me, in that something's bound to get overlooked.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.03.31
Apollodorus, for his part, attempts to show that, while incidentally Neaera not only is not a citizen but a hetaira, if not a porne (who allegedly had sex with symposiastic slaves!), her kyrios Stephanos uses her for sexual leverage to engage in flmail and extortion against citizens, and fraud against the entire city.
She argues, from the scandalous histories of Neaera and her unmarried daughter Phano, that kyrios-unsanctioned sex with a daughter, sister, mother, wife or concubine (pallake) is equally violatory.
Since post-Periclean sex between a male citizen and a female non-citizen can never lead to, or amount to, formal Athenian marriage, their sexual relationship is not regulated by the polis (79).

Even though the sound was ever familiar with classic sounding riffs, the uniqueness comes in the form of the incredible songwriting, guitar riffs and harmonies, and stellar vocals that I believe bring in the metalcore of this band.
Hailing from Germany, Neaera brings a fantastic mix to the table with intense lyrics and vocals, paired with a rhythm section that has magic definitely represented well in this album.
If the inspiration of this album could ever be seen in its entirety it would be a long mysterious and sad story…much like the name of the band, Neaera, inspired by a Greek Mythological character, a woman who was mistreated her entire life, but allowed a way out by paying her way to freedom.
