Today, May 17, Tampa based Sci-Fi Death Metal icons NOCTURNUS AD release their brand new album epos, entitled “Unicursal”, via Profound Lore Records. To celebrate their forthcoming album release, today, the band has premiered a captivating new video for their third single, “Hod, The Stellar Light”! Watch the video here:

“In ‘HOD, The Stellar Light’ Dr. Magus travels to the sphere of Hod where he learns the secrets of The Universe from The Masters of The Great Universal Mind and as he utters The Secret Words of Power and turns inward to become a God himself“, Mike Browning comments.   

The highly anticipated new NOCTURNUS AD album “Unicursal” is the follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed “Paradox”. With “Paradox”, Nocturnus founder/sci-fi death metal godfather Mike Browning would resurrect Nocturnus lore under its new alteration NOCTURNUS AD which gave Browning the opportunity to continue the mythos that came before with the legendary album “The Key”, almost 30 years after the release of one of the most influential death metal albums of all time.

“Unicursal” sees Browning, along with guitarists Belial Koblak and Demian Heftel, keyboardist Josh Holdren, and new bassist Kyle Sokol (bass on “Unicursal” was performed by now-ex bassist Daniel Tucker), continue the journey of Dr. Magus following the events of “The Key” and “Paradox” (documented in the album’s second half). A towering aeonic manifestation of extraordinary sci-fi otherworldly death metal forging itself through time and space.

Evidently “Unicursal” is not only one of the most ambitious undertakings Browning has been involved with, but it is a formidable display of progressive occult metal wizardry that manifests NOCTURNUS AD as one of the most singular forces in extreme metal today; there truly is no other entity akin and “Unicursal” is another monolith that honours and continues the traditionand lore laid down with “The Key” and continued with “Paradox”. With blistering guitar manifestations courtesy of Koblak and Heftel, Holdren’s grand and epic synth passages and Browning holding down the rhythm with his calculated battery along with his unique commanding chants, “Unicursal” is a towering aeonic manifestation, extraordinary sci-fi otherworldly death metal forging itself through time and space.

The album was produced/engineered/mastered by Jarrett Pritchard at New Constellation Audio in Orlando, Florida, and features artwork by Uwe Jarling with design by Chimere Noire.

Following the release of the first single “CephaloGod”, the band follows up today with a brand new visualizer for the track “Yesod, The Dark Side of The Moon”.

NOCTURNUS AD mastermind Mike Browning about the track and its meaning: 
“Yesod, Dark Side of The Moon is part of the story of Dr. Magus’ mission to travel through the the portal of the 9th sphere Yesod on a giant Tree of Life and Death floating in space in the Multiverse, where he descends into a cavern inside a crater on The Moon and battles a hideous Moon Beast to conquer and gain the Sigil of Yesod.”

Tampa, Florida based Sci-Fi Death Metal icons NOCTURNUS AD have announced their new album “Unicursal”, slated to be released on May 17 via Profound Lore Records. With the track “CephaloGod”, NOCTURNUS AD have unleashed the first single today. The song is released alongside a brand new music video, which you can watch below.

Stream the single HERE

“The first single is called CephaloGod and its a song about Cthulhu being awakened from his ancient slumber by his followers when the right stars aligned and opened a portal for him to travel through it to take over the Earth,” Mike Browning comments. “The video was done by Wizardhead, his unique style of video producing was the perfect fit to make a video for a Lovecraftian concept like this song has.“

Tracklist:

1. Intro
2. The Ascension Throne of Osiris
3. CephaloGod
4. Mesolithic

The new NOCTURNUS AD album “Unicursal” will be released on all formats and is the anticipated follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed “Paradox”. With “Paradox”, Nocturnus founder/sci-fi death metal godfather Mike Browning (also original Morbid Angel co-founder) would resurrect Nocturnus lore under its new alteration NOCTURNUS AD which gave Browning the opportunity to finally continue the mythos that came before with the legendary album “The Key” almost 30 years after the release of one of the most influential death metal albums of all time. The result being NOCTURNUS AD’s debut album “Paradox” being the proper follow-up to “The Key” (musically and thematically) where the story of Dr. Magus would finally see its sequel three decades later.

The upcoming full-length record “Unicursal” sees Browning, along with guitarists Belial Koblak and Demian Heftel, keyboardist Josh Holdren, and new bassist Kyle Sokol (bass on “Unicursal” was performed by now- ex bassist Daniel Tucker), continue the journey of Dr. Magus following the events of “Paradox”. Now armed with his bio suit, on “Unicursal” Dr. Magus issent on a mission to traverse through the Spheres of the the Kabbalistic Tree Of Life to conquer each sphere and collect its respective sigil/symbol. “Unicursal” will see Dr. Magus specifically travel to Malkuth, Yesod, Hod, and Netzach, the Tree’s lower realm, its roots (the story of Dr. Magus is featured on the album’s second half where the album’s first half will continue to explore ancient occult themes and mysteries from the unknown, separate from Dr. Magus’ story).

Evidently “Unicursal” is not only one of the most ambitious undertakings Browning has been involved with, but it is a formidable display of progressive occult metal wizardry that manifests NOCTURNUS AD as one of the most singular forces in extreme metal today; there truly is no other entity akin and “Unicursal” is another monolith that honours and continues the traditionand lore laid down with “The Key” and continued with “Paradox”. With blistering guitar manifestations courtesy of Koblak and Heftel, Holdren’s grand and epic synth passages and Browning holding down the rhythm with his calculated battery along with his unique commanding chants, “Unicursal” is a towering aeonic manifestation, extraordinary sci-fi otherworldly death metal forging itself through time and space.

The album was produced/engineered/mastered by Jarrett Pritchard at New Constellation Audio in Orlando, Florida, and features artwork by Uwe Jarling with design by Chimere Noire.
