Artist Bio
NOCTEM starts as Extreme Metal act in April 2001 but its real project as a Blackened Death Metal combo starts in 2007 with its last change of line-up and new musical definition. In 2002 Noctem records its first demo “Unholy Blood” which was commercialized for 2 years. After several line-up changes the band continues its way performing in national shows and composing new tracks, totally immersed in the seek of a more personal music style. The band commercializes their live mcd, entitled “Live 2004” (self- produced and recorded at their natal city) for two years.
Noctem takes a break in 2005 and after different line-up changes a restructure takes place in their formation.
In 2007 it’s time for the release of the last demo of the band, entitled “God Among Slaves”. This opus received a good success from the online specialized press and metalheads.
The band, composed by its new members, fulfills different tours through their country. In July 2008 the band signs with Noisehead Records (Austria) and carries out the “Noctem European Tour 08” where the band performs through different countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Andorra, UK, Belgium and Italy.
