The answer to yesterday’s Indecipherable Logo of the Day is b) Nokturnal Mortum
On a dark, misty night in 1994, ex members of Ukrainian band Suppuration united to record a side project under the name Noctural Mortum. After the release of the “Twilightfall” demo, they changed the spelling of their name and by the end of the year they had recorded the “Black Clouds over Slavonic Lands” demo. A final demo, “Lunar Poetry,” followed the next year. Then various lineup shifts took place before the band released their first full-length Pagan folk/black metal album, Goat Horns, which came out in 1997. An EP followed before Nokturnal Mortum recorded their signature album, To The Gates of Blasphemous Fire. The two full-lengths were released in North America on The End records in 1998 and 1999 respectively. The band’s new album, NeChrist came out shortly after.
As the new Millennium arrived, Nokturnal Mortum lay low for a while, though in 2003 they issued the new four-song EP The Taste of Victory and released their 1995 demo Twilightfall on CD.
Nokturnal Mortum’s most recent album was 2005’s Weltanschauung.
