According to Metal Blade Records,  NOCTUM are just days away from the release of their highly anticipated album Final Sacrifice October 29th via Metal Blade Records. Final Sacrifice is a fictional horror story where each song communicates a portion of the overall narrative.  With that in mind Bloody-Disgusting, the online home for all things horror is hosting an exclusive full album stream of Final Sacrifice.  Accompanying the album’s premiere, members of the band have taken each song and dissected them providing their own narrative on the tracks and how they were influenced by and could relate to classic horror films. Listen to the stream, which will only be up through this Monday and check out the bands track-by-track breakdown HERE.

Final Sacrifice is available for pre-order at http://www.metalblade.com/noctum. The album is available as a standard CD as well as in an exclusive bundle package with a limited edition T-Shirt.

A lyric video featuring live footage captured by Johan Bengtsson for the song “Temple of the Living Dead can be viewed below:

Final Sacrifice is an analog piece of art in both audio and visual aspects. The artwork and track listing have been revealed. The cover art was painted by Timo Ketola (Sunn o))), Arktau Eos) and fits perfectly with the album’s raw, natural sound.

NOCTUM’s search for original and interesting material led them to a heavier and darker sound then their first release. The progression came very naturally for the band and differs from the typical 70′s vibe. Final Sacrifice evokes heaviness and emotion one might not expect from a “retro” sounding band.

Final Sacrifice Track Listing:
1. Conflagration
2. Liberty in Death
3. Resurrected in Evil
4. Deadly Connection
5. Void of Emptiness
6. The Revisit
7. A Burning Will
8. Temple of the Living Dead
9. Azoth

Noctum Lineup:
David Indelöf – Guitar/Vocals

‘Temple Of The Living Dead’ lyric video:

According to Metal Blade, Swedish rockers NOCTUM will release their Metal Blade Records debut “Final Sacrifice” October 29th. Today the band has released another song from their mesmerizing release.  The song “Temple of the Living Dead” can be streamed exclusively at http://www.metalblade.com/noctum. “Final Sacrifice“is now available for pre-order on the site, as well.

In the town of Uppsala, Sweden in the year 2009 a band called Séance was formed.  Moving at breakneck speed the band formed in September, recorded a two-song demo after adding guitarist Per Wikström to the lineup in October, and by November had changed their name to Noctum. Within those three months, the band signed an LP deal with High-Roller Records, and a CD deal with Stormspell Records.

Noctum’s debut album, “The Séance“, was released in September 2010 via High-Roller and in December by Stormspell. The band finally embarked on their first European tour in July of 2011, and followed that up with a new EP, “The Fiddler“.

By August of 2011, Noctumcreated enough buzz in the underground to gain the attention of Metal Blade Records, which led to a new worldwide record deal.

With a new record deal in place with a global label, Noctum spent the majority of 2012 refining their sound and writing new songs. Their search for original and interesting material led them to a heavier and darker sound. The progression came very naturally for the band and differs from the typical 70′s vibe. The new material successfully evokes a heaviness and emotion one might not expect from a “retro” sounding band.

Noctum toured Europe again in 2012, and then welcomed the addition of drummer Fredrik Jansson after Gustaf’s departure. Jansson, who spent time in Witchcraft, Count Raven, and Abramis Brama, was added to the lineup in time to record “Final Sacrifice” in April 2013.

“Final Sacrifice” is a fictional horror story where each song communicates a portion of the overall narrative. The “final sacrifice” is like a red thread that ties the songs together and is the concept behind the art. “Final Sacrifice” is an analog piece of art in both audio and visual aspects. The artwork and track listing have been revealed. The cover art was painted by Timo Ketola (Sunn o))), Arktau Eos) and fits perfectly with the album’s raw, natural sound.

“Final Sacrifice” Track Listing:
1. Conflagration
2. Liberty in Death
3. Resurrected in Evil
4. Deadly Connection
5. Void of Emptiness
6. The Revisit
7. A Burning Will
8. Temple of the Living Dead
9. Azoth
