about

When darkness fills our world, NITE sets the air ablaze with white-hot, blackened heavy metal.
Having completed their journey through the stars and the skies on Voices of the Kronian Moon, NITE now faces the abyssal and shadowy mythology that has long laid dormant on their third album, Cult of the Serpent Sun.
“Crow (Fear the Night)” is a rallying cry, demanding fists to rise with power and might. And yet, “The Mystic” offers another shade of light: space and time return while fire-breathing bass sets the scene ablaze. Van Labrakis’ road-hardened voice stands defiant in “Carry On”, denouncing the perils of war and peering through the mists of time.
On Cult of the Serpent Sun, NITE guards the altar of blackened heavy metal with honed blades and axes raised.

I am fairly new to power metal and honestly getting into the rabbit hole of metal sub-genre’s, and this album just reeks of pure badass fantasy, like I am playing a D&D game where I am the hero slaying demons and ghouls. I absolutely love it. The guitar solo’s to the vocal’s are just great and match what I want out of metal in general. Highly recommend this album! SLADESNAKE

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

The first album is already a very good one, but the second is even better! It contains again nature black metal, quite melodic, but also wild, with some folkloristic elements, full of atmosphere and performed with passion. For me, BLACKBRAID fits well into the same category as other epic one man bands like Saor, Ruadh or Pure Wrath. Besides the catchy and quite straight opener "The Spirit returns", I mention the mightiest track "Moss covered Bones on the Altar of the Moon" as my favourite song! H.L.
