Norway’s NOCTURNAL BREED is a band that has never been afraid to show its influences and wears them proudly on its sleeves, and never more so than in the track “Knights of Denim” which Dark Essence Records has chosen to release as a single from the upcoming album “Carry the Beast”.
“Knights of Denim” hits you right out of the gate, its devastating riff transporting the listener back to the glorious heyday of British Heavy Metal. Galloping Iron Maiden riffs, melodic dual guitar solos and thundering drums merge with a delicate synth work that enhances that 80’s heavy metal feeling.
Layered into the mix, and delivered with true passion and feeling, are Destroyer’s snarled, aggressive vocals, and what you get is a NOCTURNAL BREED track “par excellence” which can be streamed or downloaded from a variety of services at
