Tommy Eriksson (1990-1992) (Saturnalia Temple, Ligament, Shadowseeds, Therion (Swe)) | | Additional notes | Nocturnal Rites started off as death metal, recording one demo and a promo in this style. After a few years their sound gradually became more melodic and by the time they released their first album they were playing power metal.
Mattias Bernhardsson played keyboards on the first two albums on a session basis before being added to the official line-up for The Sacred Talisman, Afterlife and Shadowland, after which he left. Keyboards are now for the most part played by Henrik Kjellberg.
Fredrik Mannberg played lead guitar until Nils Norberg joined the band. He almost exclusively played rhythm since then. He was also the band's vocalist until 1993.
Reknown artist Par Olofsson did the artwork for one of their T-shirts.
