Here we have a relatively unknown and underrated black metal band from Germany. They play an orthodox style of black metal, focusing heavily on a stripped down feel to create a rawer sound. All the instruments stand out from one another, the bass seems almost nonexistent, the guitars really stand out and are the highlight, and the vocals carry that demonic high-pitched growling. I noticed that Nox Pestes have a penchant for meshing riffs and pacing with the vocals. Often shifting from fast, technical riffing parts to slower, atmospheric sections, the vocals usually lead the transitions, making for a very cool effect. The riffing gets slower and slower and farther and farther away, then a drawn-out shriek kicks in, and as it gets louder, the music gets faster and more intense. Great effect!
