Full Length Review: Nocturnal Breed "No Retreat No Surrender" (Folter Records) by Daniel Ryan

Band: Nocturnal Breed
Location: Oslo
Country: Norway
Genre: Black thrash metal
Format: CD
Label: Folter Records
Release date: February 25, 2019
With their extreme intensity and urgency to attack you with supreme thrash metal that you have to hear for yourself Nocturnal Breed never fails to amaze me on No Retreat No Surrender. The band consistently is on point and in your face. They bring a lot to the world of extreme metal these days while also never forgetting where they come from. You know you’re not going home tonight after hearing this album. The volumes and punch of it all swiftly throws a juggernaut of death evil and darkness your way. What I find most interesting about their album is their ability to nail down everything in awesome destructive filled passion. More energetic and fluid they are from song to song you can recognize that they were made with a group of people wanting to make music that is more than thrash with its blackened elements. For fans of I would have to mention bands such as Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Sabbat (UK) & Necrodeath. The rage of it all never ends and is enjoyed by lethal doses of aggressive force radiating in one’s head. From the depths you will never find anywhere else you can smell that this one is burning filled with millions of miles of trenches. Never missing a step this album truly takes a life all on its own which is why I decided to review it in the first place. There is not many records you can put down and say it has changed one’s life. As the old saying goes… metal to the bone! And stay true to the legions of speed. Thanks for putting out this record and let the blood flow…for all eternity. -Daniel Ryan
