Metal content creator/musician Nik Nocturnal has announced he is stepping away from his platform indefinitely. In a statement shared this morning, May 21st, he offered:
“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.
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.
Much love,
Nik“
