Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is a German black metal band from Dormagen, formed in 1997. In November 2021, Onielar, the lead singer, revealed she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, resulting in the need for her to undergo a lifesaving double mastectomy and chemotherapy. She has since made a full recovery.

Musical style

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is considered to be a traditional black metal band, and has stated "we are very much influenced by the Norwegian black metal bands. Bands like Gorgoroth, Enslaved, Satyricon, Immortal, Darkthrone. I listened to this music a lot. Most people say our music reminds them of those bands. They think we fit in the vein of old school black metal. Nevertheless, the greatest influence for music is occultism." Their sound has been described as "very raw".
