Genre: Melodic Dark/Black Metal
Country: Germany (Osnabrück, Lower Saxony)
"A Masterful Grim Dark Metal Delicacy. NACHTBLUT prepare to conquer the dark scene with their second album. "Dogma" will make it easy for them, as they have managed to improve upon their already grandiose debut by raising the bar and showcasing a newfound maturity in their songwriting. With instinctive ease the German quintet combines melodic and heavy elements to create their characteristic dark sound. The band revolving around vocalist Askertoh creates a wide spectrum of morbid metal tracks ("Mordlust", "Ich trinke Blut") and sensual ballads ("Schritte"). As a result, "Dogma" becomes a grim dark metal delicacy that quickly unveils a row of potential club hits. Besides paying close attention to the compositions, NACHTBLUT has also made the production of this album top priority by giving the melody lines enough room to breathe, while simultaneously allowing the heaviness of their riffs and double bass attacks to find their niche. The new album is made complete by Stefan Heilemann, whose graphic interpretation successfully transposed NACHTBLUT's provocative and sociocritical vision. "Dogma" is a masterful dark metal release that will not only convince existing fans, but also inspire new one to join the ranks." (Napalm Records)

Nachtblut Biography (Via Napalm Records):
"The beginnings of the band date back to 2005, when Askeroth started Nachtblut as a solo project. He soon found like-minded musicians who shared his visions and ideas. Thus, Nachtblut evolved into a real band. The line-up comprised Greif, Sacerdos, Skoll, and Lymania.
The band played their first concert in early 2007, which helped them achieve a great following outside their native Onasbrück. They continued to perform live and soon released their debut "Das erste Abendmahl" in June 2007. This collection of songs turned mere fans into disciples of the band. All over Germany, the dark scene could no longer turn a blind eye to the grim sounds of Nachtblut.
In the winter of 2007, the band opened up for the likes of Eisregen, Immortal, Sodom, Watain, Varg, and Endstille, to name but a few, helping Nachtblut become a major player in the underground scene. From its very beginnings, they were either met with love or hate. This polarization is due to Nachtblut's attitude. While other bands will say something to provoke, Nachtblut provokes in order to make a point and draw the listener's attention to a particular topic.
The concept album "Antik" was released in January 2009. The band was in charge of the recording and production at Trollheim Studio with the help of Ingo Hampf. With this release, the band was able to continue its path toward success, as more and more worshippers became part of the Nachtblut legion.
In 2011, Nachtblut signed a worldwide recording deal with the Austrian label Napalm Records."
