"INVISIBLE FORCE" ( U.S. DOMESTIC VERSION )


"What Satan Doesn't Want You to Hear"!!!
Rivera Bomma (2004)
New Jersey's Rivera / Bomma aren't concerned with being part of the current trend. In fact they've never been overly concerned with what the mainstream audience has deemed "popular". Frontman John Bomma explains, "It would be real easy to write songs that would appeal to the Top 40 crowd, but, because of our musical influences and our openness to the Holy Spirit we write from our hearts." Wearing their musical influences on their sleeves, the eleven songs on Invisible Force are filled with the majestic melodies and pulsating rhythms made famous by seventies arena heroes such as Rainbow, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and others. Formed in late 2000, the nucleus of Rivera / Bomma has always been the two band namesakes, lead vocalist John Bomma and guitarist / multi-instrumentalist Rod Rivera. "We have other band members that join us for shows but Rod and myself conceived the band ourselves" relates Bomma. Initially meeting in September of 2000 through mutual friend and producer Don Depaola, the duo knew right away that they could create something special together. While working with Depaola on his solo project, guitarist Rod Rivera and Don Depaola decided to find a vocalist for the song "Cry Of Love". "Don had worked with myself on many projects from high school on so they called me to give it a shot," says Bomma. Once Rod and I met it was as if two long lost brothers had been reunited. It seemed as if we knew each other for years. The chemistry was so powerful and natural that we decided to write and put out Invisible Force. ------- RIVERA BOMMA: (2008)
