The fact that En Oria was not released at the time recorded didn't stop us from recording 'Crucify Him', which is a mini Cd a step further from En Oria, as a physical evolution, and getting involved to KYRCK productions.

NOCTERNITY released Crucify Him on this day in 2001, a co-released between the band's Kyrck Productions & Armour and ISO666.
The new effort from the Greek band. Many denied the word "majestic" we gave in their first album. They prefered holocaust black metal in the vein of Emperor with the sound of Burzum. Just listen to this one!! Limited and numbered to 600 copies in a special silver printed digipack version. No repress on this version. Includes also inlay with lyrics.
Original label description
I respect all the bands that play music for themselves, as an inner need. I totally disrespect bands that think they are true and evil and are just a piece of lieing traitors who spill the blood of the scene by making all kinds of poser bullshit just to get the attention of the media and brainburned fans.They should be crucified...
I like and truly respect bands that have influenced us like the mighty Emperor, and Burzum. Lately Abbysic Hate are becoming one of my favorite too.I also enjoy other acts away from the black metal scene like In Strict Confidence, Gridlock and Converter...
