Nocturnus
Nocturnus was one of several standout Floridian death metal
bands of the early 90's,
but two attributes set them apart from their contemporaries.
One, their lyrics were based in science fiction
rather than the typical death metal fare, and two,
they incorporated keyboards into their music.
They recorded two successful albums
(indeed, the debut, 1991's
The Key, is still regarded as a seminal
Floridian death metal classic),
but stability was
seemingly always in question, and by 1993 they were done.
Around 1999 several of the guys got back together and released
Ethereal Tomb in 2000 before fading away.
Also around 1999, founding member Mike Browning put together a new
band, initially entitled Nocturnus AD and later After Death.
That band has recorded several demos in the 2000's, but now the story
gets more confusing, as the quintet led by Browning now goes by both
After Death AND Nocturnus AD, and a new album, intended to follow
in the footsteps of
The Key, is set to be released under
the Nocturnus AD banner in 2019.
