Nokturnal Mortum "Lunar Poetry (2001 Reissue, The End Records)"

Nokturnal Mortum are a Ukrainian black metal band from Kharkiv. They were one of the founders of the Ukrainian black metal scene and pioneers in the early National Socialist Black Metal ("NSBM") scene.

The band has claimed to have moved away from their neo-Nazi political stance and lyrical themes; however, those claims remain in question due to their appearances at neo-Nazi events.

Lunar Poetry is the third and final demo by Ukrainian black metal band Nokturnal Mortum. It was released on cassette tape in April 1996, through Morbid Noizz and MetalAgen Records.

The album was released on CD in 2001 by The End Records.
