I've been a Nocturne fan for a few years now, and to be completely honest, I hated their new album for about five minutes. Then something clicked, I put away my pre-conceived notions of what their newer "more metal" album was supposed to sound like, and just pretended this was a band I'd never heard before. After I shelved my expectations I was genuinely impressed by the new and (in many areas) improved metallic goth/industrial that Nocturne employs. If you're into stuff like The Genitorturers, Bile, Rorschach Test, pre-sellout Pitbull Daycare, and the criminally underrated Drakenova (which you've probably never heard of) and the like, chances are you'd be into at least one of Nocturne's albums. But if you're into the aforementioned bands, chances are you know who this Texas duo is already.
If such is the case, and you've heard both of this band's previous studio ventures, then imagine a cross between the the gothy infectiousness of "Twilight" and the crunch of "Welcome To Paradise" (which was later renamed "Paradise Wasted"). Overall, this is another solid release from an up-and-coming act, marked in particular by the violently catchy "Alibi" and the track before it "I Lie." I like to mix up my playlist with some goth and industrial influenced bands fairly often, and the new Nocturne's going to to fill both that void, while providing a little headbang-ability, for a long, long time.
