Nocturnal Breed  


Nocturnal Breed is one of a handful of Scandinavian bands with a common theme, that being a collection of current or former members of established black metal bands that band together to play retro Germanic thrash in the Kreator/ Sodom mold. The band was founded by Destroyer (who went by the name Svartalv in Gehenna) and Ed Damnator (Silenoz of Dimmu Borgir), with the first album's lineup rounded out by one Rick Hellraiser, who was actually Nagash of The Kovenant. Apparently their live show, featuring Harleys and strippers, is quite the event. Far from the most original of bands (as if the stage names and song titles don't give that away), but they're pretty energetic and enjoyable nonetheless.
