Nocturna - Of Sorcery And Darkness [CD]

Nocturna - Of Sorcery And Darkness / sophomore record for the band founded by the formidable frontwomen Grace Darkling and Rehn Stillnight / After the success of the 2021 mesmerizing debut album 'Daughters of the Night' - which mixed gothic-symphonic and power metal elements, alternating between fast & heavy neck breaking episodes and intense, piano-oriented ballads - Nocturna once again delves into the meaning of the term "duality" and all it's more morbid connotations. The romantic inspiration of the lyrics of 'Of Sorcery and Darkness' combines harmoniously with the band's sophisticated sonic approach, and the celestial voices of Grace Darkling and Rehn Stillnight paint mysterious and sensual portraits of an ancestral time (yet so close to us). It's a solemn, sinister and never so lost paradise.
