Nocturnal Departure

Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, Nocturnal Departure is a black metal band that channels the raw, cold spirit of the genre's second wave. The band was formed in 2017 and consists of Funeror, Illartha, Folterer, and Hexzul. Their sound is characterized by raw, lo-fi production, blistering blast beats, and venomous, high-pitched screams, creating a soundscape that is both aggressive and atmospheric. After their debut album 'Cathartic Black Rituals' was released, they gained traction in the underground, signing with #Hells Headbangers# for their sophomore release, 'Clandestine Theurgy'. Their music often draws comparisons to foundational acts like *Darkthrone* and the North American black metal scene of the late 1990s.
