Brazilian storm gloriously races towards the world: NOTURNALL is at the heart of the matter! This vivid power metal band is known for its restless touring through international grounds and highly inventive stage performances. Swinging back and forth between melodic, groovy and impressively dynamic music, the band displays expert levels at their instruments, moving close to the sound of Angra and Symphony X – albeit in a heavier package.
Countless prominent musicians of the metal community have already collaborated with this untamed Brazilian force: Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic), Mike Portnoy, James Labrie (Dream Theater), Russell Allen (Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob), Michael Romeo (Symphony X) and more. Among the myriad maneuvers to be witnessed by the audience were 360 degree spinning drums moving fully upside down, exotic pole-dancers in zombie costumes and an entire magic show conducted by a professional magician. Completing the spectacle, the band is well-known for eruptive stage moves, stage dives, mosh pits, powerslides and a signature plastic ball, free to play with for the audience. Better even: Fans who love all of the above, can take it back home in their pockets, as NOTURNALL are one of the few acts who make it all available on DVD – a fan-exclusive btw, which can only be bought at their shows for now. NOTURNALL is currently in the middle of a World Tour, by the end of which the band will have played in over 100 cities, 20 countries and on 5 continents.
But NOTURNALL have another ace up their sleeves: They will be rocking the stages with none other than Paul Di’Anno (Ex-Iron Maiden) on the route from Europe to Australia! Di’Anno has been going through a rollercoaster of setbacks in his life but the incredible love for metal connected the Brazilians to him while the international community helped him to get back on track. This wintertime will certainly be filled with classy stage performances from NOTURNALL and Di’Anno.
Right now, NOTURNALL are ready to delight the fans even more with the new video-single Shallow Grave from the upcoming international release of their album Cosmic Redemption. Luckily, the composition turned out to be an absolute crowd-pleaser, before it almost didn’t make it on the album. Behind the scenes of this composition lies a tragic story, as the band explains: ”Shallow Grave talks about artist struggles and abusive relationships where you give your all for your art and get very little back in return and you’ll probably end up forgotten and buried in a shallow grave.”
Inside a picturesque cave, the video tells a powerful tale marked by guitar virtuosity, a huge drum sound and traditional heavy metal riffing. Unfolding the drama, the vocals move from a soft longing to a charismatic rock sound. NOTURNALL picked their longest song as one of their favorites and reveal: “We had an amazing time shooting this video in a place called Caverna do Diabo, which translates to ‘The Devil’s Cavern’, such a breathtaking and otherworldly environment, with a lot of humidity and bats flying over our heads all the time.”
The international release of Cosmic Redemption marks a pathway for NOTURNALL into global metal territory. On the CD, 13 magnificent tracks, including features from renowned artists, such as James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) and others, deal with the cosmic turns the world takes – on the micro level as the struggles of individuals, as well as on the macro level in the shape of corruption and battles in society. The term Cosmic Redemption represents the objective for each human to grow as a person and leave the world as a better place than it was. The album was written during the disruptive time of the pandemic and motivated the band members to keep going. Cosmic Redemption is digitally out now – everywhere! The physical release will follow tomorrow, November 24, 2023. Make sure to get your copy of this legendary, meaningful album at https://orcd.co/cosmic_redemption

NOTURNALL. This is the name of the young group that, in less than 10 years on the road, is already considered one of the biggest and most important bands in Brazilian Heavy Metal history.
Starting in 2014, the band’s brief but intense history brought some legends of the Brazilian metal scene together that left their marks on worldwide renowned bands, such as Shaman, Angra and Project46. They also have in their line-up legendary North American guitarist Mike Orlando, who sold hundreds of thousands of album copies with ADRENALINE MOB and was listed a Top 100 guitar Player Of All Time and also a Top 10 Superstar Of The Year 2008 by Guitar Player Magazine.
Iconic concerts, bold tours, thrilling music videos and guest appearances by Heavy Metal legends from all over the world, such as Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic), Mike Portnoy, James Labrie (Dream Theater), Russell Allen (Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob), Michael Romeo (Symphony X), Edu Falaschi, among others, consolidate the band as a true jewel of Brazilian Heavy Metal.
In 2022, after almost 2 years away from stage, NOTURNALL started the year with a nostalgic concert in SESC 24 de Maio, presenting classic songs. They also released their fourth studio album, entitled Cosmic Redemption, showcasing the band’s best shape and also featuring very special guests: guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN and bassist DAVID ELLEFSON (both former MEGADETH), founding SYMPHONY X guitarist MICHAEL ROMEO, the internationally renowned prog metal drummer MIKE PORTNOY (DREAM THEATER, THE WINERY DOGS, SONS OF APOLLO), who previously toured with the band and appeared in the video for their single SCREAM!
