Rome, Italy; 16 October 2024: Dutch blackgaze band Noctambulist have signed to These Hands Melt for the release of their second full-length album. To get a first taste of the upcoming album, the band released the first single entitled “Aderlater”.

“We wrote the track Aderlater with the full band after J.D. and Stef came up with some chords that went nowhere,” said the band. “We were all listening to a lot of post-punk and new wave and most of us attended concerts by The Cure around the time.”

“If I recall correctly Mitch came up with the intro drum pattern and we changed the 6/8 we had to a 4/4 beat and wrote basically the entire song on the spot. The lead in the chorus came from Tristan from another old composition we never finished. It all fell into place, so to speak.”

“Lyrically the song deals with laying bare uncomfortable and personal feelings for the sake of music. It is, in a way, an ode to insecurity.”

Noctambulist are an atmospheric post-black metal outfit from Tilburg, the Netherlands. Formed in 2015 between housemates J.D. Kaye, Sam C.A. and Mitchell Scheerder, they set out to create a hard-hitting, melancholic style of black metal that draws inspiration from other genres such as post-rock, shoegaze, new wave and post-punk. 

Noctambulist stand for contrasts. Serotonin summits and strung-out canyons. The empty and the grandiose. The beautiful and the appalling.

After defining their sound and completing the lineup with guitarists Tristan Tabbers and Stef Heesakkers they released their full-length debut Noctambulist I: Elegieën via Northern Silence Productions. Their second album will be released through These Hands Melt, with more information to be unveiled soon.  

Noctambulist are:
J.D. Kaye – Vocals & Guitar
Stef Heesakkers – Guitar
Tristan Tabbers – Guitar
Sam C.A. – Bass
Mitchell Scheerder – Drums
