If you were as letdown by The Black Light Bacchanalia as I was, then I can certainly assure you of a certainly more focused and notable effort in Nocturnes of Hellfire & Damnation. While reading a recent post from Metal Sucks about these guys, I noticed that a commenter asked the question, “How did this band ever get signed?” Well, my answer to that is quite simple. You’ll just have to take a listen to this album.
