about

SUN & MOON RECORDS is proud to present NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION's highly anticipated ninth album, Tides of Despair, on digipack CD format.

French masters of nostalgic, depressive black metal, NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION return with their latest opus, the ever-aptly-titled Tides of Despair. A special occasion to say the very least, 2019 sees the return of Herr Suizid, founding member of the band who left in 2012, rejoining with fellow founder Lord Lokhraed. As a result, Tides of Despair has all the elements which make NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION stand out from all the thousands of cliche DSBM pretenders, many of whom were inspired by the band's pioneering early works in the mid-2000s: immediately memorable riffs, achingly melodic leads, dramatic tension, and altogether dynamic songwriting.

Surprisingly, Tides of Despair begins in quite a positive manner - but deceptively so, as NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION soon embark on a gloomy, atmospheric journey, guiding the listener ownard into an exhaustingly emotional turmoil. Claustrophobic somberness comes to a climax on the perfectly titled "Living in a Mass Grave," forlorn acoustic moments abound, despair and depression suitably mark songs like "Solitude and Despair Again" and "Farewell Letter," epic gloom in "Muse of Suicide," and all concluding with the bleak and melancholic "Reveries." Throughout, the surprises continue with the integration of French horn, pianos, chimes, and bells, with a multitudeof guests from different bands (Psychonaut 4, Sarkrista, Tulpa, Darkend, Selvans) making the album even more refreshing.

Completed by mixing & mastering courtesy of Alessandro "Algol" Comerio from Forgotten Tomb/Hiems, NOCTURNAL DEPRESSION prove with Tides of Despair that both the past is alive and the future is bleak!

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 16 fans who also own “Tides Of Despair”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 14 fans who also own “Tides Of Despair”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
