Noctambulist keeps black metal alive at hi-dive tonight
Denver black-metal band Noctambulist straddles the line between technical proficiency, speed and a wall of sound that pulverizes listeners' bones into jagged dust.is no Grateful Dead. Nor is it Phish, or any of the other hippie capitalist bands that dominate the musical conversation around here. You will find no allegories to woke spiritual narcissism in Noctambulist’s sound.
As the first blackened note rings out from guitarist Andreas Tees's guitar, an opal haze descends over your ears. Through its dust, Michael Nolan’s blistering snares and belt-fed toms create the fodder for the low end comprising Ryan Hunter’s pummeling bass and Nolan’s double kick drums. Then, piercing through its fog of war arises the assailing siren’s cry of singer Sean McConnell.
Ahead of Noctambulist’s gig at the hi-dive, we covered ourselves in holy water and said at least three Hail Marys before having a dispiriting conversation with the members of the band. Not one for idle chitchat, Noctambulist’s responses can be brief, but within its brevity, we covered the band's thoughts on the Front Range’s prevailing music scene, how black metal thrives among it, the bands to look out for here, and which church in Denver should hypothetically be burned down.
