Sphera Noctis began in 2005 in Bucharest, rising from the ashes of Awakening the Dragon and originally drawing strong influence from the early, dissonant era of Deathspell Omega. The project blends pagan black metal with atmospheric and melodic elements, maintaining a raw yet thoughtful approach rooted in Romanian spiritual and mythological identity. After a brief early period ending in 2007, Sphera Noctis returned in 2016 with a renewed vision and a more refined sound.
Their only official release to date, the 2006 EP Memory of Forever, captures the project’s early aesthetic—cold, ritualistic, and steeped in pagan symbolism. The band later contributed the track “Ethereal” to Fertile Soil Compilation Vol. 1 (2022), marking their re‑emergence in the Romanian underground.
