Their first three albums (‘In a Time of Blood and Fire’, ‘Tales of Mystery and Imagination’ and ‘The Sacred Talisman’) feature the former vocalist Anders Zackrisson, while the newer albums are sung by Johnny Lindkvist. Also the musical style has changed a bit during the years; some demo’s were something more like death metal … , but then the three first cd releases pure melodic power metal, and on “Afterlife” they took a bit heavier approach with influences of true heavy metal like Masterplan and Dream Evil and even some thrash metal riffs, though the melodic choruses were kept right in the core of the songs.
They have released a few more albums since, with the latest ones being ‘Grand Illusion’ that came in 2005 and ‘8th Sin’ that came out in 2007. The band keeps on fighting on and remains one of Scandinavia’s best known power metal bands.
On June 21st, 2008 it was announced that guitarist Nils Norberg has left the band. On May 9th, 2010, Chris Rörland joined Nocturnal Rites. A video of him playing and Fredrik Mannberg talking a bit about him can be seen here.
