ABOUT
IBERIAN BLACK METAL FROM VALENCIA, SPAIN.
Arguably the best-known extreme metal export from Spain, NOCTEM’s ungodly path put them in front of cult audiences around the world, across Europe, Asia, Russia, and North America.
In spirit, presentation, and philosophy, NOCTEM shares much in common with Watain, Rotting Christ, Belphegor, and Gorgoroth, while sprouting their own decaying branch of a rotten metal tree.
The first metal band from Spain to perform in China, NOCTEM’s unrelenting touring saw them team up with the likes of Marduk, Batushka, Napalm Death, Immolation, and many more over the years, as well as having performed at many prestigious metal festivals such as Graspop Metal Meeting, Summer Breeze, Bloodstock Open Air, Resurrection Fest amongst others.
Having unveiled its fifth full-length studio album, The Black Consecration, in 2019. New Transcendence declared, “The Black Consecration is a superb album, littered with secrets and enticing riffs,” making favorable comparisons to early Emperor and Dark Funeral. Metal Hammer Portugal wrote, “in this particular genre, it is perhaps one of the best Spanish works ever of its kind.”
NOCTEM followed that career landmark with their latest, definitive masterpiece titled Credo Certe Ne Cras (“I Believe With Certainty That There is No Tomorrow”) in 2022 - an album that demands to be experienced as much as listened to.
