Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult is a German black metal band from Dormagen, formed in 1997.[1] In November 2021, Onielar[2][3], 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.[4] She has since made a full recovery.
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."[5] Their sound has been described as "very raw".[2]
