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.

In January of 2009 Noctem enters the studio to record their debut LP “Divinity” at Vienna (At) which counts with the collaborations of Christos Antoniou (Septic flesh and Chaos star) and Leal (ex-Forever Slave).

A few months after the release of the album Noctem figures in the no. 18 of the top 20 of Spanish artists record sales in 2009, 310 & 313 HEAVY ROCK Magazine issues (Sp).

Noctem performs in different presentations of the album “Divinity” being included in festivals and several tours, like the ones at Spain or Portugal in 2009, sharing stage with headliners such as Malevolent Creation (USA),Vomitory (Sweden) and Napalm Death. In January of 2010 the band starts touring Europe, supporting Incantation (USA) and Hate (Pl) through different countries: UK, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Germany and Czech Republic.
After a few shows at Spain, and the recording process of the third and most ambitious video extracted from “Divinity”, in May 2010 the band is included in the “Collectors of the King Tour “, supporting Ragnarok(Norway) through Europe: Austria, Germany, Poland, Belgium and The Netherlands.
