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).

Musical style

The band plays a mixture of thrash and black metal, with small traces of rock 'n' roll also audible in places. The thrash metal is based on the 1980s work by bands such as Sodom, Destruction, Vulcano, and Sarcófago. 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".
