"NOCTE MUTAMUR": WHEN GOTHIC METAL MEETS VICTORIAN NIGHTMARES (AND IT'S GLORIOUS)

Watch Haunted View

Stop what you're doing! Berlin’s hideclose just dropped Nocte Mutamur (“By Night We Are Changed”), and it’s not just an EP, it’s a full-blown gothic novella set to doom-laden riffs. Lenn Vane, the mad genius behind this, didn't just write songs; he crafted a descent into Victorian London, 1889, where faith rots, shadows whisper, and Professor Dario Valperga loses his damn mind. And honestly? It’s exactly the kind of over-the-top, atmospheric madness we need right now.

Five tracks, five chapters: from the creeping dread of A Haunted View (that lyric video? Chills. Literal chills.) to the ritualistic Sacred Play, the suffocating doubt of The Darkness Draws Near, the brutal A Fatal Meeting (yep, there’s murder), and the full-moon transformation of the title track. It’s gothic metal meets doom meets that feeling when you’re alone at 3 AM and the walls start breathing. The riffs are thick, the atmosphere is oppressive, and the storytelling? Sharp enough to cut through the fog of your fourth black coffee.

 

Look, if you've ever wanted to hear what it sounds like when reason collapses into ritual, or if you just love music that feels like a fever dream, this is your EP. The lyric video for Haunted View is already out, and it's as visually gripping as the music is haunting. So do yourself a favor: dim the lights, press play, and let Valperga's descent pull you under.
