RIVERA / BOMMA

The New-Jersey based RIVERA BOMMA was formed late 2000. Named after founding musicians, vocalist JOHN BOMMA (previously with HADES), and guitarist and multi-instrumentalist ROD RIVERA.
Their strong guitar driven debut album, INVISIBLE FORCE, released through SECRET PORT RECORDS in 2002, received favourable reviews around the globe, which encouraged the band greatly to tour, write, rehearse, record, and generally prepare for the important second album, I AM GOD, was released on MAUSOLEUM RECORDS in February 2006.
RIVERA BOMMA are a Christian Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band, playing a mixture of traditional hard rock and melodic American heavy metal - at times a hint progressive, due to the presence of majestic, but subtle keyboards. ROD and JOHN have written some epic anthems which they perform over pulsating rhythms, revealing the influences of their 70s heroes, such as DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW. The power and range of JOHN BOMMA'S voice is indeed comparable to an IAN GILLAN or RONNIE JAMES DIO, whilst ROD RIVERA is a guitar virtuoso parallel to RICHIE BLACKMORE or MICHAEL SCHENKER, occasionally also shredding MALMSTEEN-style, as well as playing some dazzling Latin Flamenco guitar.
RIVERA BOMMA are definitely not concerned with being part of any "flavor of the month" trend, rather they write and play from the heart!
