NOCTURNAL The Greater Emptiness CD 2019

Black metal and doom have always been close neighbours, both fixated on darkness, both allergic to optimism. Nocturnal's The Greater Emptiness sits right on that border and refuses to move for anyone.

An Australian black/doom record released in 2019, this is the kind of album that takes its time and means it. Dense, atmospheric, the sort of thing that pairs well with three in the morning and a complete disregard for whatever is happening outside. If you're into Striborg or Wood of Suicides, the lineage here is immediately recognisable.

Full length album. CD in gatefold digisleeve. Australian black/doom metal.

Fans of: Dawn, Psycroptic, Wood of Suicides, Striborg.
