NIK NOCTURNAL Retires: "I'm Stepping Away To Reconnect With Myself And Figure Out What Comes Next"

After 11 years of making some great content and even better music, Nik Nocturnal is calling it quits. Nocturnal said he's taking a step back to reevaluate his life and deal with real life issues, though he notes he might come back to it at some point later on. Nocturnal also gave fans a parting gift in the form of The Lost Chapters EP, which you can find below.

Shout out to Nocturnal for doing such a great job over the years and keeping the metal community afloat with his excellent work. Here's hoping he comes back at some point.

"After creating content for over 11 years, I've decided to take an indefinite break from uploading to focus on some important real-life stuff and figure out what's next for me. Full explanation is up on my YouTube channel," wrote Nocturnal on his social media.

"Thank you to everyone who has ever shown support to the channel or the amazing community we've built over the years. Whether you watched one video or stuck with me for a decade, you've been a part of something I'll never forget. This channel changed my life, and so did many of you. For now, I'm stepping away to reconnect with myself and figure out what comes next.

"As my parting gift, I leave you with a special 2000s metalcore throwback EP (with some modern spice) featuring legendary bands including: All That Remains, Darkest Hour, Caliban, Bury Tomorrow and The Ghost Inside entitled The Lost Chapters available to stream/download everywhere now."
