Breathtakingly skilled" has been featured in 90% of the reviews coming in from this bands debut "Everlasting Fall" in "99. Here they are again, kicking the scene with their melodic death on a technical level most other bands can forget about.
Although they run on a high technical level they still maintain the important points in music: To make good songs, not just a song with 10 riffs that are hard to play. "Of Art and Suffering" has been recorded completely in frontman Jani Loikas own studio, and also been engineered and produced by him. Loikas has before also been working for several other bands like Let Me Dream, Azaghal, Hin Onde, Depreed etc., which gives him enough practise to know how Nocturnal Winds should sound like! Just listen to "Of Art and Suffering" and find out!!!
Nocturnal Winds started out as a band back in 1992 in Hyvinkaa, Finland. It took them 7 years to record their debut fullength CD «Everlasting Fall», which has given them a certain name already. Here is their 2nd effort «Of Art and Suffering». It's heavier, better produced, better played...A conclusion ? This one will certainly blow fans of melodic death metal to hell and back....
