THE NOCTAMBULANT have announced they have signed to Terminus Hate City as they embark on their next chapter delving into Southern Gothic. Steeped in the traditions of Blues, Rockabilly, Goth rock and American Country, THE NOCTAMBULANT embrace this aesthetic and sonic niche while maintaining their signature black metal sound.
“Bring The Sorrow”, available now with an accompanying lyric video offering, provides a first glimpse of THE NOCTAMBULANT’s approaching descent into decay. THE NOCTAMBULANT will release their forthcoming full length album Revival on September 18, via Terminus Hate City.
On the signing, Terminus Hate City’s Forrest Jessup shares, “I am honored to join forces with The Noctambulant. They were put on my radar by the fine folks at C-Squared, and they fit right in to our ever-growing roster of blackened heavy metal bands (All Hell, Viserion, Malefic, and Apostle are a few of their black metal-leaning label mates). A major thing I value in the artists we work with is their drive and dedication to the game… The Noctambulant have exactly that, as they are no stranger to self-producing & recording their albums, putting their own tours together, and all the ins and outs that it takes to make ones art stand out in this day and age.
Their Terminus Hate City debut, Revival is a fresh take on black metal, incorporating elements of gothic death rock, melodic guitar riffs, organs, and haunting symphonic elements that, anyone who grew up in a church in the south (whether by choice or by force), would be familiar with. We will have some bad ass vinyl of Revival available to preorder soon on the label website – full album drops on September 18th!”
About THE NOCTAMBULANT:
In 2013, THE NOCTAMBULANT formed in Jacksonville, Florida, with a mission to spread the culture of Southern Appalachia through their unique interpretation of black metal. Merging the genre’s primal aggression with the crushing weight of blackened death metal and the haunting atmospherics of Southern Gothic, they sought to honor the myths, spirits, and eerie folklore of the region.
Founded by E. Helvete (Guitars, Vocals) and D. Franseth (Drums) following the breakup of their psychobilly band, THE NOCTAMBULANT emerged as they delved into the darker realms of black metal. With the addition of Lars Goerschafft (Bass) and, later, Rev Beaumont (Guitar), the band fully embraced a sound that merges relentless intensity with ghostly Appalachian storytelling, crafting an auditory spell of sorrow, brutality, and mysticism.
Their music weaves a sonic tapestry of feral blackened riffs, ominous melodies, and immersive soundscapes steeped in spectral Appalachian lore. Drawing inspiration from metal legends such as VENOM, CELTIC FROST, BATHORY, and DARK FUNERAL, THE NOCTAMBULANT channels both ferocity and haunting atmosphere, merging the unrelenting force of extreme metal with the ghostly echoes of ancient myths and the desolation of the Southern Gothic landscape. Their next album is set to emerge in 2026.
THE NOCTAMBULANT is:
E. Helvete – Guitars/Vocals
D. Franseth – Drums
Lars G – Bass
Rev. Beaumont – Lead Guitar
