Biography

September 2003 - October 2005

Acesistalene, a less than unsuccessful 6 piece metal band formed in 2002 by Baz Cooke and Chris Harden, was the foundations of what was to come….

With unreliable drummers, and a completely un-rhythmical guitarist, what would hopefully be a dream, fell to ashes. It was then after summer 2003, that this nightmare would end, Acesistalene would fall into the dark side, the birth of the early Nocturnal Desire.

 It all began as a requirement for an A-level course that Baz, Chris and Paul Lenahan, were taking. It was then that the band restarted and being friends for several years it was only natural for them to team up.

A death metal band with 1 guitar, a bass, and an inexperienced drummer wasn’t going to be easy, so recruitment began.

Also on the same course was guitarist/song writer extraordinaire, Lee Anwyll, a fan of black and death metal. With haste he was asked to join the band, and was glad to help out.

 Missing being the vocalist, Baz packed in playing drums and demanded we scour the area for a half-decent one. One Friday night, it happened, the insanely technical Andy Cunliffe was found, it was this night the band would be completed.

 The next major event in the band’s history happened during May 2004, when Paul appeared to loose interest in the band, and start making up excuses for not coming to practices and gigs. It was this that made us decide that after all our hard work, this attitude was no longer welcome, and there was no problems finding his replacement, an incredibly more talented bassist, Graeme Brown.

 Many months and practices later during October 2004, Nocturnal Desire surfaced from the shadows to annihilate the line-up and crowd at a local gig. Faced with an arrogant kiddie ‘let’s make a band’ punk group, who insisted they were better and should headline, where left to follow us with a smoking drum kit and a noisy crowd.

The local fan base had finally been achieved and the gig was recorded and provided the band with a long awaited demo.

During December 2004 the band decided that it was time a real effort was made in the aspect of a promotional recording. This lead to the band recording an 8 track CD during January 2005 at HProd Studios, with the help of Engineer, Teacher and Emmet drummer Ant Fildes. This, the band hopes will open many new doors within the music buisness.

Then, during May 2005, the band was contacted by A&R from American Record Label Statue Records (Alter Of Flesh, Metal Soldiers), offering a Non-Exclusive contract for US distribution (mostly West Coast). Less than a week later, the band was contacted by Mark Daghorn of UK based Rising Records (Mendeed, Defenestration), also offering a Non-Exclusive record contract. As a band we didn't feel as though our recorded material was of a good enough quality for international release, and so turned down the two offers.

The band are currently working on their new album which is going to be AMAZING.
