I had a cool chat with Rehn Stillnight from Italy’s NOCTURNA about the formation of the band, her singing, art studies, the process of recording with 2 female singers in the band with quite different voices, Australian spiders (and how we live with them), and of course the cool new album, ‘Of Sorcery And Darkness’. Check it out.
After the success of the 2022 mesmerizing debut album “Daughters Of The Night” – which mixed gothic-symphonic and power metal elements, alternating between fast & heavy neck breaking episodes and intense, piano-oriented ballads – NOCTURNA once again delves into the meaning of the term ‘duality’ and all its more morbid connotations.
The romantic inspiration of the lyrics of “Of Sorcery And Darkness” combines harmoniously with the band’s sophisticated sonic approach, and the celestial voices of Grace Darkling and Rehn Stillnight paint mysterious and sensual portraits of an ancestral time (yet so close to us).
Embrace the night.
