NOCTURNAL FEAR “Excessive Cruelty”

NOCTURNAL FEAR
“Excessive Cruelty”
(Moribund)
Nocturnal Fear thrash like there is no tomorrow. I have a special place in my heart for the more brutal form of thrash metal. I’ve found a place for Nocturnal Fear in my heart. Their thrash is both abrasive and old school the way I like it. The band look like they could have come from Brazil in the 80s. And it is also there we find the strongest associations. Sarcofago, Dorsal Atlántico, early Sepultura all pop up when I listen to “Excessive Cruelty”. Having not paid too much attention to the band previous to receiving this album I feel like a novice sent out in battle. I don’t know what bombardment to expect. All I hope for is that I’ll make it home in one piece and not too seriously hurt. Nocturnal Fear shoot wild and I’m glad I made it home in one piece but I wouldn’t hesitate going into battle with them again. This is thrash metal that stops at nothing… and I like it. Anders Ekdahl
