That keyboard man is not so awesome nowadays, he converted to Christianity, burned all of his old Nocturnus merch and kept the band name to himself so that Mike couldn't use it when they reformed. If he had just became a Christian and left the band, that's one thing, but he seems to holding a petty grudge against the other guys.
I helped put on a show in 1990 with these guys. It was amazing to hang out with all of them along with Napalm Death&Godflesh. Wow what an amazing day I'll never forget! Still one of the best concerts I've ever seen!
Still listening to this album some 26 years after buying it. It really felt like "the key" to other dimensions, a succesful mix of sci-fi, technicality and, yes,spirituality, in its own peculiar way. How have the mighty fallen? It makes one think... Anyway, two questions if you have bothered to read: -Who is the bass player in the video? -Do you know of any bands that might have carried the torch since?
I know it's been two years but if you haven't check out Vektor, you definitely need to check them out, listen to "Black Future" album, it's my favorite, they're not death but thrash metal though
I would say that Tomb Mold and Blood Incantation are getting there. They're also death metal and use sci-fi themes in their music. Nocturnus is far more superior compared to them though.
just in case anyone cares or was wondering, this is the second documented Technical death metal LP release as far as I know, only predated by Atheist's Piece of time.
Awesome. Classic tune. I've watched segments of the video before on the Nocturnus Hard N Heavy interview segment but never the full video. Thank you very much for posting it. Much appreciated. By the way, if you can also get the actual video for Reek Of Putrefaction by Carcass which was on their Hard N Heavy interview segment, you gratuate to godhood. Hail Nocturnus.
The classic Earache Records comp,"Grindcrusher" (1990) is where I first heard this song and first discovered Nocturnus (and a ton of other ass-kicking bands!). The rest of their album ("The Key") definitely didn't disappoint either!
Damn...this is one of the most fucking awesome Death Metal bands. It's a shame they are not as well known as the big names of Death Metal, in my opinion.
This band were true innovators! They pushed boundaries and set standards in the early 90's that other death metal bands began to emmulate at the time! Pestilence's-Testimony of the Ancients is a prime example of this. Nocturnus's unique sound is the reason why I found/find this band so appealing. They sounded like no one else, and no one sounded like them!!! Bands today are missing a signature sound that so many bands in the 80's and early 90's had. Most bands today are clones of other bands! Hardly any of them draw an influence from a band they like, and then develope their own sound! A damn shame!
i heard Mike Browning and Richard Brunelle( the original rhythm guitarist for morbid angel) are starting a band together i can't wait til they come out with an album
Vinny V Well he used to sing on early Morbid so I guess is not of an idea from other band, I mean he is just the singer who happens to be the drummer also
@@TheReturnOED yeah sure , often a context . But Dan beehler ( Exciter ) was an influence . My teacher from Satan jokers used to play drums annd sing while sharing the vocals with the frontman in early 1980s .
I dont know if Mike knew of that band but actually Death and massacre guys were fan of it . French metal . They even wore the shirt on from beyond album . Satan jokers was the creator of heavy metal fusion . 15 yeaes ahead the game
Azagthoth didn't wear t-shirts of other bands in general. When I saw it i said, it is definitely something mind blowing from other universe. And it was of course
