A melodic metal band from Los Angeles, Eyes of Noctum saw its genesis in 2005 when Arcane began experimenting as an underground artist. Three years later, Arcane and former Noctum guitarist Asmodeus began recording material they co-wrote together, taking the first step from the shadows of the unknown.
In the summer of 2008, Eyes of Noctum formed with the addition of Vardar (rhythm guitar), Templar (keyboards), Moloch (bassist), and Donner (drums). The band immediately began to produce their first complete album(released this summer). The album, produced in Sweden by Fredrik Nordström (Flames, Opeth) with contributions by renowned music producer Jack Douglas (Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Areosmith), consists of a variety of elements and sounds that don’t always relate to a particular genre.
Metaphorically, Eyes of Noctum symbolizes both the stars and the universe, which philosophically translates as the guidance through darkness. The writing took years of development and experimentation to evolve into what it is today. Currently the band is working on their next album containing material that represents their final sound (set for Spring 2010 release).
In early 2009, Asmodeous left Eyes of Noctum and the band added lead guitarist Neboran.
