NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST announced its first full-length album in almost eight years, “ARGOS” will be released on May 4.
The album title ARGOS takes its name from the hundred-eyed giant “Argos” who appears in Greek mythology. The title reflects NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST’s determination to make this the most powerful album in the band’s history.
ARGOS comes in a Regular edition, as well as a mail order-only “Special Edition Extreme Edition”. The Special Edition Extreme Edition includes the full album, a bonus CD containing the album’s instrumental version, and finally, a bonus DVD. The DVD contains documentary footage and a music video.
Naturally, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST will be taking ARGOS on the road with a domestic Japan tour “THE AWAKEN TOUR 22“. This tour takes the band on five stops around Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, where they will fight in a “Battle of the Bands” style event.
A teaser video for ARGOS is available on YouTube. The clips provided are equal parts drilling and harsh, then ambient and emotional.
