Nocturnal Breed is a Norwegian blackened thrash metal band, formed in Oslo in 1996 by singer/bassist Kenneth Svartalv (S.A. Destroyer) and guitarist Sven Atle Kopperud (Ed Damnator).
The band plays a mixture of thrash and black metal, with small traces of rock 'n' roll also audible in places.[3] The thrash metal is based on the 1980s work by bands such as Sodom, Destruction, Vulcano, and Sarcófago.[1] Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic described Nocturnal Breed as "what comes about when a bunch of (supposedly) humorless black metal musicians get tired of acting so grim and nihilistic all the time, and decide to have some fun for a change".[1]
