About Me

New track ’Dark Tears’ uploaded.
The track features Isa Darby as the intro-narrator, reading a passage from his epic novel
’The Ridge’. See in the friendlist.
Thanks Isa for the much appreciated cooperation!
Dark Tears is actually in a raw version with some synth-leads missing.
PRIMAE NOCTIS was founded 2003 in Munich. Even when the roots lead back a decade ago. The two friends started to make music at 1996. Guitar, Synth, PC-Sequencer. Over the years the equipment has grown but the idea is still the same.
The project was aimed to melt the atmospheres of Synthesizers and Electronics with the power and strength of Guitars - distorted or ethereal.
The musical structures and topics are very much influenced by medieval themes and viking motives, mostly introduced by cinematic and elysian sceneries...leading into battle!
Their music is the ventile to create gloomy moods and sable structures but never left alone in grim darkness, but enthralled back again from the bleak and sullen abyss to the ethereal and divine fabrics of dreams that open the doors to Elysium.
Out to combine several different musical styles as well as the celestial and saturnine sides; melted together by two beings that create and think music in a complementive way.
’Exnordica’:
Finally a new track finished...getting nearer to the real core of PRIMAE NOCTIS...the Electronic Metal Fusion of Acid Pirates & Metal Vikings on their conquering longship trail through the Ice Sea ... prepared for battle, longing for Valhalla!
Die Fürsten der eisigen Flut
’Heimdall’s Ruf’:
Odin speaks out to let pass the warriors to his son Heimdall, the guardian of the bridge ’Bifröst’ that leads to Asgard and the ethereal reign of Valhalla. The fallen ones were praised with Odins words of wisdom and the amicability of Freyja during their sublimation and ascension, finally passing the Gates of Valhalla ... purest gold.
’Wolfszeit’ ... followed by Vargold
Wolfszeit ist! Moving out with the longships to bereave and pray. The ghosts of greed & revenge rip apart the slumbering wisdom of deep insight. Catharsis is awaiting ...
’Vargold’: (Valhall-Part of Wolfszeit):
... beyond the gates of Valhalla!
Clarification of the possessed and missleaded spirits. Divinity for eternity.
In die Ewigkeit!
’skeggold skälmold’ (Beilzeit, Schwertzeit)
’skildir klofnir’ (Schilde geborsten)
’vingold vargold...’ (Windzeit, Wolfszeit)

extract from Edda/Völuspa (Iceland Saga)
Sorry to all icelanders for my accent - somone out for us to speak it right?
’Sublight (assimilated version)’:
The vampyristic side; grounded by the brooding Synthlayer Nephilm-like Guitars envolve the track to its nocturnal destiny. Enhanced by legendary ghastly Nosferatu death breaths and extracts from the awesome vampire-story ’Assimilated Mind’ by Lorilee of Technetium, read by my Cygnotic self and the adorable Lorilee, devoted thanks my dear!

! still missing !
Human drummer (breathing lifeforms favoured over cold circuits) with the gift to be open-minded...electronic drumkits may walk side-by-side to the classical kits.
You sing? Never mind!

Feel homebound with that obscure mixture?
Send us a message...
Influences: Beyond limits
Fundamentally based on True Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Manowar). Several metallic sub-creations (Death-, Black, Thrash-, Power-, Viking, Progressive Metal) also left scares: Death (Chuck Schuldiner...eternal respect!), early-Slayer, Edge of Sanity, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle Of Filth, Destruction, Coroner, Opeth, Candlemass, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Running Wild, Motörhead, Rush, Pink Floyd, Fields Of The Nephilim ... a lot more...
Apart from the metalized and rock orientated energies the electronic and synthetic sounds always forces us to break the ordinary boundaries...Berlin old-school, Psychedelic Trance, Dark Ambient, EBM, Gothic Wave. There are to mention: Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Gridlock, Astral Projection & Psychedelic Trance, Shpongle, Ozric Tentacles.

The mixture is completed with a love for pure Gothic (Dead Can Dance) and as well classical influences (Bach, Wagner).
Sounds Like: The mostly epical structures and topics from PRIMAE NOCTIS are very much related to medieval themes, battle sceneries and viking atmospheres. The intense is to create divine associations of sublime kingdoms and warrior tales. Beside these nordic and ethereal moods these sounds are combined with acheronian gothic and vampyristic moods.

The Pre-Demo-Tracks 'Heimdall's Ruf' and 'Wolfszeit / Vargold' are rough mixes that still miss the final drumset. Soon to come...by machine or human...perhaps both
