Formed in the beginning of 1995 under the name Bloodbath, the band soon recorded their first demo, entitled Thou Art Vulgar in Thy Art. Inicially a trio, they were joined in the following year by keyboardist Andr� Pinheiro and female vocalist Cris Toreador, who dramatically enhanced the quality of the band's vampyric black metal. A more appropriate name was needed to reflect the band's evolution into a more mature sound, thus NOCTERNITY was formed. In February, 1997 the demo Carpe Noctem was recorded with extreme care in every step of its production, from the sound to the lyrics to the artwork, so that it became our definitive entrance into the black metal scene. The band has been playing in local gigs and sending the demo to related labels and magazines since then. On late December a new DT will be released, Cogito Ergo Macto, much more aggressive and melodic at the same time.
