NOCTURNAL RITES To Tour Latin America In September

May 26, 2009

Swedish melodic metallers NOCTURNAL RITES will embark on a tour of Latin America in September. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

NOCTURNAL RITES is currently writing material for the follow-up to 2007's "The 8th Sin". The band describes the new songs as "a little back to the darker 'Afterlife' [2000] days mixed with some trademark NOCTURNAL RITES catchy melodies — those that can never go wrong!"

Guitarist Nils Norberg announced his departure from NOCTURNAL RITES last June. "I have decided to lay down the guitar as my interest for music kind of cooled down the last years," he said in a statement. A replacement axeman has not yet been announced.

"The 8th Sin" in 2007 landed on the Japanese album chart at position No. 68 (No. 28 on "international" chart). An e-card for the CD is available at this location.

NOCTURNAL RITES' video for "Never Again", which was directed by the band's drummer Owe Lingvall of Village Road Films (WOLF, CARNAL FORGE, MORGANA LEFAY),can be viewed below.
