EYES OF NOCTUM, the California-based black metal band fronted by Weston Coppola Cage (son of actor Nicolas Cage), has posted a song called "Renaissance Prosperity" on its MySpace page. The track comes off the group's forthcoming debut album, "Awakening", tentatively due in April 2009 through Morbid Rose Records.

EYES OF NOCTUM recorded "Awakening" at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, HAMMERFALL). Norwegian drummer Hellhammer (MAYHEM, DIMMU BORGIR) and Swedish multi-instrumentalist Snowy Shaw (THERION, DREAM EVIL, KING DIAMOND, MERCYFUL FATE, MEMENTO MORI, NOTRE DAME) have recorded guest appearances on the CD.

In a July 2007 interview with Wizard Entertainment, Weston stated about his musical preferences, "I'm really into the kind of music that comes from Norway called black metal. It's the type of music that's really, really raw. But some bands like CRADLE OF FILTH like to add melodic factors to it, which I do myself, and what that does is create a very powerful piece that incorporates strong melodic backgrounds that could be rather like Bach or something very symphonic."

Weston introduced DIMMU BORGIR from the stage at the April 16, 2008 concert at The Grove in Anaheim, California.

Weston's 41-year-old mother, Christina Fulton, is engaged to DIMMU BORGIR's 31-year-old frontman Shagrath (real name: Stian Tomt Thoresen).
