Black metal band NOCTURNIS has released a new music video for the song “Tituba,” taken from the new album “Drangsal” out on November 6th under Fetzner Death Records.

The song is named after Tituba, one of the first women accused during the Salem witch trials in 1692. An enslaved woman with no one to speak for her, she became exactly what a frightened community needed: someone to blame. Her confession, forced out of her under pressure, gave the trials their momentum. Musically, “Tituba” is built around a repeating, almost ritual vocal line that keeps circling back until it feels like there is no way out.

NOCTURNIS upcoming album “Drangsal” deals with the machinery of witch persecution – the accusation, the trial, the fire, and everything that keeps working long after the ashes have cooled. From the opening "Liturgie" to the nine-minute title-track, the album follows that arc without offering an exit.

NOCTURNIS is a five-piece black metal band from the Black Forest region of southern Germany, known for combining atmospheric intensity with historically informed concept albums. Formed in 2019, the band first gained underground attention with their debut EP “Aporia” (2020) and their acclaimed first full-length “Unsegen” (2022), which earned favorable reviews across the metal press. Live, NOCTURNIS have built their reputation through supporting roles for established acts including Suffocation, Thron, Kanonenfieber, Grima and Agathodaimon. With their new album “Drangsal” they continue their trajectory - blending historical subject matter, black metal and a clear aesthetic vision into a unified work, produced internally by guitarist Vincent Padrutt with mixing and mastering by Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg Einer Freiheit).
