Brainscab Review=Noctum: The Séance

High Roller Records

In the beginning metal was raw and un-relenting in the pursuit of rebelling against the flock of conformist all over the planet. Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath and Iron Butterfly where amongst those that became the misfits in a society that worshiped the Beatles and Elvis. Now we have Noctum recreating a sound that has the current label of Doom. The Séance  kicks out “The Séance”, “Fortune Teller”, “Insomnia”, “Den Onda Trollpackan”, “Mistress”, “Lucifer’s Way”, “Remain”, “Children of Darkness”, all remind us of our metal roots that bands like Cream and Stephen Wolf helped develop and a Band like Noctum carries on.
