Nocturne Wulf is a heavy/thrash metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 2019. Their sound blends traditional heavy metal power with thrash metal velocity from the west of Scotland.
Framingham, Massachusetts' Nocuous have been forging a cross-genre assault since 2014 that draws equally from thrash, black, and death metal — a combination that refuses to settle into any single lane. The band's approach maps onto the New England extreme metal tradition, where the region's long underground history has produced some of the most technically and tonally aggressive American metal. More than a decade in, Nocuous continue refining a sound that's equal parts ferocity and craft.
