NOCTURNAL MUCH?

Lecherous Nocturne - new album out now; US tour approaches

Perseverance. Determination. Integrity - Three words that unmistakably describe South Carolina's Lecherous Nocturne. Formed by guitarists Kreishloff, Chris Lollis and vocalist Hohenstein, the group has ignored every musical trend that has sprung up around them for nearly a decade, all the while building on and refining their sound through two critically hailed releases - 2003's self-titled EP, 2006's debut full-length Adoration of the Blade (Deepsend Records) and their intense, relentless live shows.

Throughout their tenure, this extreme-metal entity has endured hardships that would cripple or even kill most bands. Numerous bass and drummer changes, label shifts, a 1500 mile relocation, and even having everything they owned on tour, including their touring vehicle, stolen from them in 2007. And still... they persevere.

In 2008, fueled by theft, and an overwhelming urge to break from obscurity, the band entered Soundlab Studio in Columbia, SC to record The Age of Miracles Has Passed, out now on Unique Leader Records. Absolutely the band's most defining record to date, TAOMHP is filled with the trademark Lecherous speed, intelligence, and technicality, while building upon the brutality with refined vocals and infectious hooks certain to appeal to longtime fans of LN, as well as a legion of new ones to come.

Lecherous Nocturne are preparing to assault the US on the upcoming Metal Maniacs sponsored Grind Your Mind 2009 tour beginning late February alongside Embryonic Devourment and Sol Asunder, with more live dates and tour action to be announced soon.

"...one of those death metal bands that hasn't yet gotten the level of recognition so deserving of such a quality unit." - Metal Maniacs

"...an attacking, no-frills brutal death metal album that pulls no punches. Because the precipitous drop-off in quality brutal death metal bands, Lecherous Nocturne timed this perfectly." 8/10 - Blistering.com

"...it's the furious pace of the music that really compels here, the two guitar attack delivering one monstrous riff after another, the blast beats pummeling but not overpowering, and the growling vocals of Hohenstein the icing on the cake." 4/5 - SeaOfTranquility.com
