With deep roots in traditional doom metal and a unique approach to melody and structure, »Nocturne« offers six immersive tracks that blend heaviness with elegance. The album’s slow tempos, rich chord progressions and poetic atmosphere reflect the band’s commitment to pushing the emotional depth of doom into new realms.

Recorded in Tampere, Finland throughout 2023 and 2024 by Olli Karhu, the band’s guitarist and founder, the album was later mixed and mastered by Atte Karm. The stunning cover artwork is based on a piece by French painter Jean Honoré Fragonard, underlining the album’s themes of beauty, decay and introspection.

Bell Of Mimir was formed in 2021 by Karhu, whose ambition was to create doom metal that combines rich harmonic language with vivid melodic storytelling. The band became a complete five-piece with the additions of Tuohino on bass, Marde on drums and flute, Nordlund on guitars, and Korvenmaa on vocals. Each member brings a distinct musical background, creating a sound that is both classic and boundary-defying.

All music and lyrics were composed by Karhu, with collaborative contributions on specific tracks, making »Nocturne« a cohesive and deeply expressive debut.

For fans of Candlemass, Pallbearer, Ahab, Warning, and doom metal that is as thoughtful as it is heavy.

»Nocturne« is coming. Let the silence speak.

Line-up:
Korvenmaa – Vocals
Karhu – Guitars, 12-string Guitar, Keyboards
Nordlund – Guitars
Tuohino – Bass
Marde – Drums, Percussion, Flute
