Instrumental.
2.	The Apocalyptic Avalanche 05:33	lyrics	buy track
From the mountains rumbling high A mighty roar shakes the land Unshackled mounds that race toward humanity In a blinding white rage The might of nature renders no mercy to the weak, buckling joints The ivory wave of death carries murder in its wake To submerge the human waste in an apocalyptic avalanche Institutions crumble To the power of the frost Mother Nature is a ruthless force Survivors trapped within their homes, forced to succumb and starve Freezing skin glued to carpet Hungry desperation becomes cannibalism... We eat each other to survive... Only to perish alone in the cold... In the cold...
3.	As the Cold and Darkness Embrace 07:06	lyrics	buy track
Encased in blackened ice The sun consumed by the clouded peak My frozen heart becomes blackened, forevermore To run away is futile The cold will always find me And leave me shivering, the brief warmth before the end As the cold and darkness embrace my being And leave me heartless until the end of time All I see is black and white, the snow and the starless skies Civilization's death lays beneath my feet, in the very end

"From atop the clouded peak, A thunderous boom rocks the earth. Suddenly, titanic snow crushes all in its wake. It brings all to a chilling end. And all I can perceive is what I have now lost. Before I, too, succumb to the cold."

NOCTORAN IV

"From atop the clouded peak,
A thunderous boom rocks the earth.
Suddenly, titanic snow crushes all in its wake.
It brings all to a chilling end.
And all I can perceive is what I have now lost.
Before I, too, succumb to the cold."

Demo 2022
by ManeateR

fantastic Olympia Black Metal with a raw and barbaric edge. drumming is massive, riffs are huge, vocals are ugly -- just the way i like. NOCTORAN

Severance
by Returning

intense Olympia Black Metal that implements séance, ambience, and interpretive performance woven between atmospheric black metal epics. NOCTORAN

Vouna
by Vouna

fantastic blend of doom metal, black metal, ambient, dungeon synth, and various other genres. hauntingly beautiful vocals cascade across slow dirges, and occasional bursts of furious energy. NOCTORAN
