Here is the only song clip I managed to scrounge up:

It sounds fairly decent.  I'm still on the hunt to see if I can find any post-1996 black metal that is worth while.  I stumbled on this band in the search and they have some potential but right now they still haven't quite broken from the mundane barrier (at least from what I can hear in the small sample, the 2nd portion has high promise though).  They have the promise for a more epic style I feel.  

If anyone has heard them before or has an album I'd love to have your thoughts on the band.  I wonder if it's worth pursuing.

i think the music sucks because it goes nowhere.

i think the music sucks because it goes nowhere.

Have you heard any songs all the way through?  All I have heard is that little clip that's a splice of two songs so I can't really get a solid opinion of them.  The influences are there I just was wondering if they pulled it off.  I don't think it's an easy band to find in the states (at least near me).

i have listened to "onyx" & "en oria". if dc++ tells you something, try the dunkelheit hub. don't waste your money.

propositions

- only music that 'goes somewhere' does not suck

- Nocternity, like most black metal sucks

- Nocternity is like most black metal

- music is ideas as emotion, it doesn't have to go anywhere

-we try to create too much, too often

- there's a certain spartan air about Nocternity
