Melbourne’s The Night Terrors offer a mind-melting mix of dark synth magic, thunderous dreamscapes and other-worldly electronica.
Featuring the haunting theremin melodies of Miles Brown (student of Russian theremin queen Lydia Kavina), the powerhouse drumming of Damian Coward (Heirs, High Tension), and Sarah Lim (Electrik Dynamite, Earth) on vintage horror synths, The Night Terrors have earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most unusual and original acts.
Following their 2012 performance supporting Italian Horror soundtrack legends Goblin, in May 2014 The Night Terrors were commissioned by the City of Melbourne to compose an album of music with the southern hemisphere’s largest Grand Pipe Organ. Recorded at the Melbourne Town Hall, on Friday the 13th of June this year, and being launched this Halloween, Pavor Nocturnus – Composition for Grand Organ, theremin, electronics and percussion is an inferno of haunting theremin-led post prog and dark cosmic dance.
The most frightening and beautiful Night Terrors recording to date, Pavor Nocturnus will be released on limited-edition coloured vinyl through Twisted Nerve Australia/Dual Planet and launched with a free all-ages concert at the Melbourne Town Hall on Halloween, Friday October 31st.
