About Me

::: NOCTURNAL HALL ::: __________________________________________________
... is a German based online music publication catering to all aspects of music ranging from extreme metal to Death/Thrash/Gothic on one side and Industrial/EBM/Neofolk on the other side and the in-between. NH got founded back in summer 2000 as a result of ideas gathered during the most chaotic and funniest Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany of all times ;) Our goal focus is to maintain a diverse musical approach to reviews, interview of various artists signed or unsigned. Our staff bridges the musical fields where range is apparent with show reviews, studio/listening sessions, festivals and all the other related events.
Remembering it is all about the support of musical listeners and viewers like you whom...

Supporting the underground above ground!

::: NOCTURNAL HALL ALBUM OF THE MONTH::: __________________________________________________
We finally did it again ;) After two months without something special we choose DRAGON MANDOLE and his first part of his Bard’s Tale I: Esprits Du Soleil Levant (Spirits Of The Rising Sun). This masterpiece is the work of multi-instrumentalist Padrigh who plays all acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins, flutes, drums and many more instruments and has designed this wonderful A5 sized foldable digipack. This record is just awesome, in its entirety! Check it out!

DRAGON MANDOLE - Bard's Tale I: Esprits Du Soleil Levant (Spirits Of The Rising Sun) ...Esprits Du Soleil Levant now deserves nothing less than the highest rating and after finishing this review I will dive once again into the offered dreamworlds. Fantastic, really fantastic!... [Bulletrider]
