Nocturne was originally picked up by Triple X records and Hollows Hill (the same label that signed on Jane's Addiction. "Twilight", a blend of Darkwave and Industrial music, Nocturnes debut CD, received hopelessly mixed reviews, most faulting its "groundlessly grim themes" in songs such as "A Happy Death." However, as a debut CD, the job was done, and a good fan base was formed following the new, up-and-coming band giving some room to grow. After its release, they spent a good deal of time touring with the likes of Ministry, Genitorturers, Christian Death, Godhead, Switchblade Symphony, Ohgr, and even Marilyn Manson.

This CD was one of two "filler CDs" to bridge the gap between "Welcome to Paradise" and the long waited for "Guide to Extinction", Paradise Wasted was essentially Welcome To Paradise with a new cover, now remastered, with two new bonus songs added, "Whore", and "Digit."[1]

Axis of Evil: Mixes of Mass Destruction
After another year, Axis of Evil: Mixes of Mass Destruction was turned out in 2003, again, to pass the time for the band, working forward for its third album. Axis of Evil was more limited in its edition, now out of print and extremely hard to purchase. Axis was a remix album of Paradise Wasted. The entire CD consisted of only 13 songs, but included a grand total of five versions of "Whore" and two versions of "My Bitch."

Guide to Extinction
Guide to Extinction 
Studio album by Nocturne (band) Released April 15, 2005 Genre Industrial metal Label Triple X Records Producer Chris Telkes For this album the band returned to their roots by signing back with Triple X Records. The CD was finally released in 2005, shortly after the break-up of the romantic relationship between Chris Telkes and Lacey Conner. Even with this emotional stress upon the band's core members, the album was considered Nocturne's best showcase, and features a variety of tracks that quietly hint at the past, the band did a few months of touring, and afterward, was "put on hold for an indefinite period of time." However, the band has been expected to play a few shows in 2007 as hinted at on their official myspace page.
