Nocturnal Abbey is a doom/gothic metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2023. The band merges doom metal's crushing weight with gothic metal's dark elegance from Sweden's western coast.
Nocturnal I is a doom/death metal project from Osnabruck, formed in 2025. The project brings glacial doom-death to the northern German city near the Dutch border.
Nocturnal Weed is a stoner/sludge/doom metal band from Ulm, active since 2019. The band delivers haze-drenched doom from the Danube city where Einstein was born.
Nocturnal Wrath is a multi-genre extreme metal band from Tula, Russia, active since 2003. Over two decades, they have evolved through black, death, doom, and industrial metal influences.
Noctívago is a solitary black metal project that drifts between crushing doom weight and spectral ambient drift, releasing a sequence of self-titled volumes — I through V — through the Terror Noturno label, each pressed in severely limited cassette runs. The music pulls influence from post-punk as much as orthodox black metal, weaving slow, suffocating riffs with passages that dissolve into murk and static.
Noekk is a progressive/doom metal and rock project from Bavaria, active since 2005. Named after the shape-shifting water spirit of Scandinavian folklore, the project crafts fluid, evolving compositions across two decades.
Athenian experimental doom metal project launched in 2024, pushing the genre's boundaries through unconventional sonic approaches. Their adventurous take on doom metal refuses to be constrained by traditional genre formulas.
Noiserip is a sludge/stoner/doom metal act from Ylöjärvi, Finland, delivering crushing, extended compositions that merge the suffocating weight of doom with grinding sludge and stoner grooves. Their self-titled 2020 release channels raw, unfiltered heaviness across two sprawling tracks.
Noktvrnvs is a German black/doom metal project formed in 2024. The project's Latinized name signals a classical approach to the fusion of black and doom metal.
