Ukrainian black metal masters Nokturnal Mortum return with new material! Their new EP, “Біль | Hurt”, will be released on September 25th via Oriana Music.
​
​“Біль | Hurt” is a new 2026 EP by NOKTURNAL MORTUM that opens the gate for their forthcoming full-length album. The heart of “Біль | Hurt” is “Eight Days to Spring”, one of the most emotionally charged songs the band ever made, born after protesting people getting shot down by criminal government forces at Maidan in the last days of February 2014. Written right after those tragic events the song did not make it to any NOKTURNAL MORTUM record because of its very special mood, but now this dedication to human bravery is about to be released exclusively on A side of “Біль | Hurt” EP, where it is framed by two conceptual electronic compositions. Side B presents the new studio versions of well-known band’s gems “The Forgotten Ages of Victories” and “Weltanschauung”, created during “До лунарної поезії | To Lunar Poetry” session, and live version of “Ukraine”, an ultimate metal anthem and fans favorite. This EP is more than forty minutes of great music and a signal to wait for coming full-length strike!

NOKTURNAL MORTUM is a band that possesses the very special place in the landscape of the world metal music. What was started in the New Year’s night of 1992 as pure death metal under SUPPURATION moniker, gained the true attention of the fans under new name in the mid 90’s, when such masterworks as “Twilightfall” (1995), “Lunar Poetry” (1996) and “Goat Horns” (1997) delivered the unique synthesis of refined melodic and symphonic black metal with the heritage of Ukrainian folk music, not only in terms of musical form, but on the deepest spiritual level. The path continued with barbaric fury of “To the Gates of Blasphemous Fire” (1998) and “Nechrist” (1999), with even more epic style demonstrated in the new century on “Weltanchauung” (2005) and flourishing otherworldly progressive mastery on “The Voice of Steel” (2009). “Verity” (2017) took the band into even more obscure mazes of pre-historic and subconscious thinking just to be followed by “To Lunar Poetry” (2022), updated full-length version of now-legendary demo work. The year of 2026 is about to bring new NOKTURNAL MORTUM works out of the blacksmiths of inspiration into the dark of modern crazed world.
