After a successful support tour with Gamma Ray, a Japan headliner tour, another support tour with Nightwish running through Scandinavia and countless headliner shows in their home country to promote the band’s last album “Grand Illusion”, NOCTURNAL RITES are ready to present their newest effort live this summer on various festivals to be followed by a tour in autumn. So don’t be greedy and join these sinners for the 8th time.

But old fans shouldn’t be afraid of any changes, it’s still 110% NOCTURNAL RITES! Jonny Lindqvist is one of the best singers of the whole genre with a powerful voice that makes the opening track “Call Out To The World“ and first video song “Never Again“ majestic hymns and he also has the passion to touch your soul with the piano ballad “Me”. And the tight rhythm section of Nils Eriksson and Owe Lingvall lay down a groove that will please every headbanger. So, watch out for a powerful dose of melodic metal coming to you in May 2007!
