Noctiferia – DeathCulture


What started out in 1997 in Slovenia as a pagan black metal band, evolved over the years into a completely different beast. Metalcore, black metal, some industrial sounds,… these guys have played it all in the last 13 years.

Noctiferia now attacks once again with a new album called “DeathCulture” and it soon becomes clear that this time around, they’ve focused on death metal. I have to say it’s a sound that works well for them. After a slightly abundant opening track, they dive straight into brutal territory with “Terror”. They keep up the pace from there on, only slowing down every now and again for an ominous intro. And while vocalist ? claws his way through the songs, grunting one time and using a creepy whisper at other times, the rest of the band does a solid job of backing him up with lots of shredding and just the right amount of electronic bleeps to give it all an industrial edge on songs like “Monarch” and album highlight “Demoncracy”.
Score: 8 out of 10
