NOCTIFERIA - 3 albums released Listenable

NOCTIFERIA have just signed a worldwide deal with Listenable for 3 albums , first one bearing the title of "Death Culture" due to be out in March 2010. NOCTIFERIA was born in 1994 in Slovenia . The fact that they originate from a country with a very obscure metal market has made them work ten times harder to achieve their goals. They've always dedicated themselves 100% from the beginning. and Similarly to bands like GOJIRA, they never failed to progress as musicians and search for their own musical identity . "Death Culture" is the result of all these years of work and by all accounts is the band's strongest offering so far. The album was recorded by Dalibor Strniša at DB Recordins Studio and mixed by Peter Tagtgren at the Abyss Studio, then Mastered by Jonas Kjellgren at Blacklounge Studio. NOCTIFERIA's Igor Nardin (guitar/programming) shares his enthusiasm : “We are really excited to join forces with Listenable Records. We 've followed the label and its bands for quite some time and really respect their work and treatment. We feel that "Death Culture" fits in perfectly with the label’s catalog and we share the same vision about music industry and band development. This is a perfect beginning of 2010, the year of "Death Culture". www.myspace.com/noctiferia www.listenable.net
