3. The Poisonous Seed
4. Repent My Sins
5. What’s Killing Me
6. A Song For You
7. The Ghost Inside Me
8. Nothing Can Break Me
9. Flames
10. Used to be God
11. Welcome to the End

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

Just really boring song with a solo that doesn't fit.

Yeah.... that solo is odd for the song.

It's not that bad tbh.

 

 

 

 

1. Freedom Rock

2. S/T

3. Address the Nation

4. Tearing Down the Walls

That's accurate.

Agreed. Freedom Rock is a slab of amazing AOR tunes and the S/T has "Cry" which is beyond fantastic. Kenny really showcases his amazing vocal talent in Cry

They are all around 85-90% to me so can alternate on any given day.

 

Address The Nation is my #1

 

Mine too!

 

CrashDiet!

 

Good one, especially Rest in Sleaze was very reminiscent to late 80's/early 90's sleaze/glam albums, comparable to early Tigertailz in style and sound

 

Yeah. Meant to say Rest In Sleaze was pure 80's.

Pretty decent song. I'll have to try the first disc.

I'll pass.

Never heard of them, but if the above song is the gem i definitely don't want to hear the rest ...

It was 1993. Transition period for hard rock.

Terrible CD though. Very slow and dreary if I remember correctly. But one gem.

Anybody remember this band and song?

CrashDiet!

Sounds excellent.

That's one fucking awesome tune!! Cannot wait for the album!!

Sounds like Bonfire!!! I like it

What he said!

Looking forward to Nocturnal Rites!!

Those Lynch Mob titles leave me feeling warm and fuzzy.

That's not the Hinder we all know.

Pretty basic bland modern rock.

Just flatout awful. What happened to the Mr. Big from the first few discs?

I did and it wasn't very memorable.

 

Jeez that's weak. Sounds like an okay mid-80's demo.

 

And still the female-ish vocals.

Jeez that's average.

My thoughts too!

Better than the last song they leaked but New Guy's vox are still too whiny/Mark Slaughter-y for me....

Too "girly" for me.

 

The more I listen, the more different I realise it is. 6 rockers, 4 ballad/moody/angst/intense songs.

Samples?!

 

For reals!!
