Noctule are a solo project from the United Kingdom that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording goes for a very atmospheric and melodic mixture of post black and death metal and this is a review of her self released 2026 album "Extinguish Thy Flame".
Clean playing starts off the album before going into a heavier direction while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic post metal style. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the vocals also adding in a good mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls.
At time s the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats can also be heard along with some tracks also adding in some clear vocals, keyboards are also added into certain sections of the recording.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with a couple of tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words as well as one of the later tracks also being an instrumental, acoustic guitars are also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are based upon the Elden Ring saga.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Noctule and if you are a fan of atmospheric and melodic post black and death metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devour The Gods" "Goddess Of Rot" and "Age Of The Stars'. 8 out of 10.
