NOKTURNEL frontman and founding member, Tom Stevens, has announced that the band is now being represented by Metal Matters PR & Management.

Commented Stevens: "It's been a long time coming that I get some help with things outside of writing and playing music. I appreciate my legions of loyal fans and will continue to stay personable with you all as much as I can. This is a great moment in Nokturnel's history. I have worked my ass off to get myself where you see me now in 2011 with big things on the underground's horizon. I am accomplishing things that are extremely important to me and words cannot explain the seriousness of delivering unto you the most crushing songs and performances of my career. I am going to shock you all and it's coming in waves. Expect the first new song since the Demonic Supremacy single and much more very soon."

Metal Matters' Doug Burgess comments: "We are both, honored, and excited to have the opportunity to work with Tom, and Nokturnel. Tom Stevens has been an influence to many over the span of his career, and he's pushing full steam ahead. Always remaining active in the underground metal scene, Tom has garnered the respect of both his peers, and fans alike. Others claim "Kvlt", but Tom Stevens "cult" status speaks for itself, when a man who has never received industry help, and little by way of media impacts extreme music the way he has, it can not be denied."

"Nokturnel is currently working on what will prove to be their most impressive music to date, and we couldn't be more pleased to be a part of everything going on. 2011 is going to be a huge year for Nokturnel, and very soon, they will be releasing more big announcements, but for now you'll have to suffer the wait."

In live news, Nokturnel will co headline along with MASTER in San Antonio, Texas on March 25th. The band has been confirmed to perform at Maryland Deathfest IX on Sunday, May 29th, and has also been confirmed for Glorious Times Presents: A Day of Death, on Saturday, July 16th, at Club Infinity, Williamsville, NY.
