This is huge news. I should give the last album another spin soon. |

Glad to see this coming out! I interviewed Mike a while back and am super excited to see the single. The Decibel flexi-disc single is apparently going to be a bonus track on the CD and maybe the vinyl (not sure on the vinyl), but with a slightly different mix on the album compared to the flexi disc. Can't wait! |

Single was great. I loved Paradox, so I'm looking forward to seeing their followup. |

The Key is one of my favorite albums of all time, looking forward to this release. |

There is also a mind-bending video of the single, this is seriously awesome: |

Wow, really glad I stumbled upon this thread! I love Nocturnus, as well as Nocturnus AD's Paradox album, so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Both singles revealed so far sound amazing; I never get tired of riff-heavy synthy death metal. |

Another great single. Yeah, at this point, I think it's confident that this album's another banger. |

Cool track, but the vocals are a little weak. |

Thresholds had someone else on vocals, and I thought that album was decent. The third Nocturnus album after Mike Browning was kicked out of the band had yet another vocalist, but I think that album is pretty solidly their weakest work. |

Idk why he stays on vocals, hes gotten even worse with time. |

He's the boss, he likes it that way. A grunting drummer is a cool thing to watch, still original, even if his voice comes down to standard belching at best. Anyway, vocals in Nocturnus have never been the point, they're just there. Frank Booth wrote: An objectively technically poor vocalist, but he's instantly recognizable and I really can't imagine a proper Nocturnus release with anyone else. IMO Thresholds is pure old school technical metal wizardry, half death metal, half speed metal ; Dan Izzo was on vocals, it didn't change much but i couldn't care less. Even better than The Key in my book. |

Even better than The Key in my book. Love that album, pretty heavily underrated, very strong on atmosphere and cool guitar runs. I do wish the production were a bit better. Regarding Mike's vocals, that's just part of the Nocturnus AD sound to me, I do recognise that kind of snarly spoken-word type delivery (very on-the-beat) isn't for everyone though. I just think that some of the charm would be lost if it they were more standard or generic vocals. Same with the at times goofy lyrics, luv 'em. Just glad this kind of dank keyboard inflected death metal is still getting made, I wish there were more modern bands exploring this sound. |

The album is out now, I am listening to it on bandcamp. Pretty good, so far. https://nocturnusad.bandcamp.com/album/unicursal There was also another cool video released, for one of the tracks on the album. |

Every preview track was absolutely a riff clinic so I’m excited to get my copy/listen to the whole thing. I liked his vocals more on the last one but that’s not really the focal point of Nocturnus. |
