NITE (metal)

Founded in 2018, NITE's blackened heavy metal barrels towards the peril of an unknown future, while looking to the days when blistering leads once ruled the land. Guitarists Van Labrakis (Satan’s Wrath, Mencea) and Scott Hoffman (Dawnbringer, High Spirits) let loose galloping riffs and harmonies that evoke the classic sounds of the N.W.O.B.H.M., with Labrakis’ grizzled voice driving their dark, melodic metal into the modern era. Drummer Patrick Crawford (Older Sun, Mustard Gas & Roses) and bassist Avinash Mittur (Vorlust, Wretched Stench) make up a rhythm section that’s fierce yet breathlessly precise: a freewheel pounding reminiscent of heavy metal’s earliest days.

On their third full-length with Season of Mist, 'Cult of the Serpent Sun', NITE takes its sight off the stars and stares deep into the underground. Even after three albums, NITE’s everlasting flame will continue to burn bright in our dark-skied future.
