PROFILE: Nightsoil

Formed in 2004, Nightsoil is a throwback to 80s hair-metal. Its main influences are Night Ranger, Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue and Scorpions. Its themes are definitely dark in nature, but sometimes light and airy, too. The enigmatic front-man Captain Browneye has refused to release a track until his vocal training allows him to reach ranges that only dogs and other small pets can hear.
