Spanish Black/Death Metallers NOCTEM, have released a music video for their new single “We Are Omega”. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album “Credo Certe Ne Cras”, due for release on October 28th through MNRK Heavy.
The band comments about the song: “It gives us divine pleasure, and great delight to finally be able to present the first single from our next full-length album to our faithful horde of devils. ‘We Are Omega’ represents a new dawn, and the oncoming album – a new era.”
In spirit, presentation, and philosophy, NOCTEM shares much in common with WATAIN, ROTTING CHRIST, BELPHEGOR and GORGOROTH, while sprouting their own decaying branch of a rotten metal tree. Any extreme band with Spanish-style nylon string guitars in their arsenal owes a sizable debt to them. The band unveiled its fifth full-length studio album, “The Black Consecration”, in 2019.
NOCTEM follows that career landmark with a new, definitive masterpiece, merging the crushing cacophony of angry, adrenaline-fuelled lust with newfound sorrows and mournful melodic might. “Credo Certe Ne Cras” (I Believe With Certainty That There Is No Tomorrow) is a work of art. The album demands to be experienced as much as listened to, invoking ritualistic examination.
As emphasized in the brilliant album opener “I Am Alpha,” vocalist Beleth conceived of NOCTEM over twenty years ago. It grew to monstrous proportions, embodied in the album closer “We Are Omega,” which celebrates the unstoppable lineup completed by Moss (guitars), Tobal (guitars), Varu (bass), and Voor (drums). “Credo Certe Ne Cras” broadens its old-school-sounding predecessor’s raw, filthy fury with bigger production and melody without sacrificing the frostbitten 200 mph winds of anger and blast beats.
