Obsessed with war and as pro-US military as ever, nothing will stop NOCTURNAL FEAR’s decisive victory march! Annihilating the underground for over a decade, the Michigan thrash squadron unifies the best elements of modern American thrash with the classic 80’s German triumvirate of Sodom, Kreator and Destruction into a stealth bomber of head-banging metal anthems. Prepare yourself for War, NOCTURNAL FEAR and... Excessive Cruelty!
