Dutch blackgaze band Noctambulist<\/strong> will release their second album \u201cNoctambulist II: De Droom\u201d on 7 February 2025 via These Hands Melt<\/strong> in CD, vinyl and digital formats. Recorded in Tilburg between February and April 2023 at Catacomben Studios, De Droom sees Noctambulist diving deeper into post-punk and shoegaze influences while retaining the fierceness of their debut record Elegi\u00eben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Droom sees Noctambulist diving deeper into post-punk and shoegaze influences while retaining the fierceness of their debut record Elegi\u00eben. What sets De Droom apart from the first record is that the writing was done with the entire band on board whereas full song ideas used to be presented by a few members. The songs this time around are just that, songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While De Droom is not a concept album most songs reflect on the beauty of a mediocre co-habitual existence while also struggling with the seemingly impossible dream of homeownership. The album cover features a bedroom of a derelict villa, reflecting the themes of hope, failure and heartbreak present on the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noctambulist stand for contrasts. Serotonin summits and strung-out canyons. The empty and the grandiose. The beautiful and the appalling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After defining their sound and completing the lineup with guitarists Tristan Tabbers and Stef Heesakkers they released their full-length debut \u201cNoctambulist I: Elegie\u00ebn<\/strong>\u201d via Northern Silence Productions. Their second album \u201cNoctambulist II: De Droom<\/strong>\u201d will be released through These Hands Melt in February 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
