Noctambulist are a band from the Netherlands that plays an atmospheric form of post black metal and this is a review of their album "Noctambulist II: De Droom" which will be released in 2025 by These Hands Melt.
Clean playing starts off the album along with some spoken words a few seconds later while the songs also add in elements of shoegaze and post punk. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling.
Harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them along with the solos and leads also being done in a more melodic post metal style.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the music also having its atmospheric moments. Clean singing is also added into certain sections of the album as well as some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in Dutch and cover failure, hope and heartbreak themes.
In my opinion Noctambulist are a very decent sounding atmospheric post black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Petrichor" "Lichteter" and "Lang leve de droom'. 7/5 out of 10.
