Visual Kei band NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST have had a rather turbulent time. With various changes of band members in a short period of time, which caused a bit of a crisis in which the band retreated completely in terms of activities. Now the band is finally back. For real!

Because after three releases from June 2020, with Life is Once, ONLY HUMAN and Reviver, where it was impossible to see who did the guitar work for the new music of NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, it is now clear which band members the metal band currently consists of. But not only that, the band announces next to new band members, a new release and first online concert. Plus the metal band has announced to be back on the stage from February 2021.

Let us start at the beginning or rather the new beginning of NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST. The band has made a comeback by overloading the fans with a bucket full of news and that, of course, creates positive clamour. First of all the new band members of NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, guitarists Valtz and Yu-taro, are now presented in a new band photo. Valtz was previously known as ex-GALEYD and ex-KAMIJO support guitarist Meku. Yu-taro also seems to be the guitarist of the metal band A Ghost of Flare. Furthermore, there is a mini-album coming up with the title The Wasteland, the release of this mini-album is planned on December 16. It contains six new tracks, which all band members have co-written. The three previous releases, Life is Once, ONLY HUMAN and Reviver, will surprisingly not be featured on this upcoming release. And then the very first online concert of NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, of which not much is known yet, will take place in mid-December.

The various setbacks have strengthened both physically and mentally, is written on the official website of the five-piece. It is waiting for the next steps of the metal band. When NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST will announce more about the first online concert, it will be shared in a new article.

Live photo of the idol group ASP on stage, in the middle of performing a song. The stage is brightly lit with red and blue lights. They have their right arms raised while singing. The members are dressed in leather(-like) clothing, giving the idea that it is inspired by motor clothing. The clothing is mostly black but differently decorated, with red and blue stripes, white stars in different sizes, and other symbols or words. Some of them are fully dressed like that, while others have extra additions, like a tartan-style skirt. Photography by JJ Grant (wonderlens)
