NEWS: Noctule submit to the Lord Of Blood?

Inspired by the lore of Elden Ring a sophomore album from Noctule titled “Extinguish Thy Flame” has been preceded by single “Lord of Blood“. The solo project of multi instrumentalist and vocalist Serena Cherry formally of Svalbard is a vessel for dreams in Blackened Melodic Death Metal even if the video feels like a split screen throwback GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64. Pre-orders for the 25th September release are available over at bandcamp.

Serena Cherry: “Melodeath and black metal are two of my favourite genres, and while I never set out with the deliberate intention to merge the two genres together, that is how this album has ended up sounding. I’m proud that Noctule doesn’t really sound like anything else in the metal world.”

“This song represents the joy and freedom of being in full control of the music you create, without having to make any compromises with bandmates or managers. I love creating music by myself and in Lord of Blood – I think that shows. This song is a celebration of pure musical independence; as well as an ode to the towering, horned demigod Mogh: Lord of Blood from Elden Ring. I’m proud that it doesn’t sound like anything else in the metal world right now. Honestly Lord of Blood has one of my favourite guitar leads I’ve ever written. When it comes to making metal music, I just can’t resist adding layer upon layer of guitar harmonies.”
