Nocturnal Wanderer presents a compelling debut album named "Gift of the Night" which reverently plays traditional black metal through minimalistic musical elements. This Pacific Northwest solo release builds its compositions around both haunting melody and deep bass elements to create an ongoing musical atmosphere in the record. Appreciation for deep tones increases in the production because listeners can fully experience those wide-reaching dark sound dimensions. Across the musical base of traditional black metal sits unexpected heavy metal solos which produce intense interaction points. You will be immersed in darkness and mystery when you hear any track starting with “Twilight Befell” through the end of “Distant Stars in Distant Skies.” Through its unique ability to merge straightforward delivery with substantial depth the album stands tall as an important addition to the domain.
