Nocturnal are a band from Germany that plays a blackened form of thrash metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Serpent Death" which will be released in August by Dying Victims Productions.
Melodic guitar solos and leads start off the album while the riffs also add in a great amount of melody. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a lot of blast b eats and the vocals are done in a first wave black metal style.
Elements of German style 80's thrash are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. The songs also add in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic and old school style when they are utilized as well as a small amount of tremolo picking also being added into some of the faster riffing and all of the music also sticks to a heavier direction.
Nocturnal plays a musical style that is heavily rooted in the first wave black metal style mixed in with the classic 80's German thrash metal era but mixed in with a more modern take on the genre, The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Occultism and Evilness themes.
In my opinion Nocturnal are a very great sounding blackened thrash metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Ritual Tower" "Damnator's Hand" "Void Dweller" and "The Iron Throne". 8 out of 10.
