Dutch post/extreme metal band, Noctambulist, released their debut record, Noctambulist I: Elegieën, late last year through Northern Silence Productions, exploring a sound which leans heavily on atmospheric, depressive black metal by way of dark shoegaze and post punk, in the vein of hybridized acts like Alcest and Amesoeurs.
Noctambulist go way beyond extreme metal's tropes and defy all kinds of conventionalism, owing to their very daring songwriting manners, and their out of the box creative thinking. Sonically, Noctambulist burst out with a nearly crystalline production which points up to the intensity of the sentimentalism and the transcendental qualities of their spellbinding compositions.
Black metal enthusiasts and fans of the aforementioned French bands, as well as of Les Discrets, Deafheaven, Agalloch, Blut Aus Nord and so forth, dig in without hesitation.
