Industrial Metal at it’s best filled with aggressive guitar riffs meshed with vibrant drumming creating a world of erotic twists Texas’s own NOCTURNE welcomes their fourth release to date Guide To Extinction. An album filled of passionate lyrical concepts bridging of personal filled relationship rage to other various filled depths. One thing about this album unlike other bands is the assorted vocal ranges of singer Lacey Conner who shrills happiness with low growls, screams and seductive whispers enchants all attracting various listeners of musical tastes. Creating musical energy to NOCTURNE’s sound is mastermind guitarist Chris Telkes whom pushes the limits of what technical industrial metal is using his inventive style of chords with tracks Indulge and Cocaine Sex.

Diversely headstrong the band is dedicated to the industrial sound for which is one of the elements of musical style that is heard with this latest release but as to why as the new direction of a metal vein? Maybe destructive musical energies involved with the recording of this album, if so they did a good job in combining this with Guide To Extinction. Vigorously NOCTURNE gives highly driven energy into recording as well as into song composing with Passion, Nothing and No Way Out. Melodically beautiful with a taste of Coal Chamber’s fury meeting White Zombie’s hypnotic mystical essence NOCTURNE bridges any gap to any new musical levels of awareness. A good record of all levels indeed!
