LOCUS NOIR Releases First Single “Cemetery Youth”; Official Audio Streaming; Debut Album Details Revealed
"... Locus Noir’s first single, “Cemetery Youth,” is available now on digital platforms via Listenable Records. The track features Ben Christo (The Sisters Of Mercy) and Céline Bart (Exess). Purchase/stream the track here, and listen below.
Locus Noir’s debut album, Shadow Sun, will be released on February 27, physically and digitally. Available now for pre-order via the Listenable webstore in digipack CD and vinyl editions.
Musically, Locus Noir blends Type O Negative gloom, The Fields Of The Nephilim mysticism, and Paradise Lost melancholy, all infused with a post-punk edge. The result is a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless — a modern interpretation of what Gothic Metal can be.
On debut album Shadow Sun, band main songwriter and vocalist Ben steps fully into a melodic, haunting vocal register, merging the theatrical delivery of Peter Murphy with subtle echoes of the late Peter Steele. The lyrics move between the esoteric and the intimate: love and death, desire and decay, nocturnal excess and the bitter aftertaste of parties stretching well past dawn...."
