Noturnall

Noturnall sounds like a high-speed collision between classic power metal grandeur and modern groove metal grit. The production is gleaming and massive, emphasizing the technical proficiency of every player. You can expect thunderous double-kick drumming and complex time signatures that never sacrifice the sheer physical impact of a heavy riff.

What sets them apart is the pedigree of the members and their willingness to embrace a maximalist aesthetic. The guitar work of Mike Orlando brings a bluesy, shred-heavy flair that is often missing from more sterile progressive acts. Meanwhile, Thiago Bianchi's vocals range from gritty mid-tones to glass-shattering highs, often layered into dense, choir-like arrangements that give the music a theatrical, almost cinematic quality.

Start with 'Cosmic Redemption' to hear the band at their most refined and ambitious. It captures the balance of technical wizardry and anthemic songwriting that has made them a staple of the South American metal scene. If you prefer a rawer, more aggressive edge, 'Back to Fuck You Up!' delivers exactly what the title promises.
