from the new album "Phoenix":

 

 

NOCTURNAL RITES sign with AFM / new album „Phoenix“ out in late September!

 

There are bands which are badly missed once they disappear from the scene. One of those examples are Swedish melodic metal masters Nocturnal Rites - The Official Site who released their latest album “The 8th Sin” in 2007 and afterwards slowly slipped into a hiatus kind of situation.

 

We are happy to come up with good news now: NOCTURNAL RITES are back! And not only that; the band has just put finishing touches on their brand new album, titled “Phoenix”, which will be released on September 29th via AFM.

 

The band states: “We can’t wait to share this new album with everyone. It’s been long overdue. Needless to say, it feels great to finally be back."

 

NOCTURNAL RITES are:

 

Jonny Lindqvist - Vocals
Nils Eriksson - Bass
Per Nilsson - Lead Guitar
Fredrik Mannberg - Guitar
Owe Lingvall - Drums

One of my favorite bands.

[Geoff]

I actually don't mind this band either. Their band name gives a false impression of their style. I'll check this out. Pretty cool new song.

[Crazysam]

Sounds pretty good, I've never listened to any of their prior releases. Any recommendations as to which album(s) I should check out first?

My favorite is Shadowland, but all of the Johnny releases are good. The 8th Sin and Grand Illusion had a more hard rock vibe than the others.

I haven't listened to Shadowland in a long time but I haven't been disappointed in any of their releases...The 8th Sin is my favorite and is the only one I have close at hand...Once I get settled in my new digs I plan to install a lot of shelf space so that I can have access to the majority of my cds and I will be spinning all their cds again...

Excellent!

I listened to Shadowland for the first time this week, very good album, thanks again for the recommendation. This new track is pretty good as well, although it has more of a modern guitar sound to it.

Listening to the album now. A heck of a comeback album after 10 years away.
