Synopsis

Product Description
Having released two critically acclaimed albums on Century Media ( Sweet Vengeance and Descent Into Chaos ) and the LIFEFORCE debut A New Disease Is Born in 2007 this Swedish/Greek quintet takes a fresh and renewed start with Wearing A Martyr s Crown. NIGHTRAGE finds undeviating strength by looking back to a time between 94 and 98, when the almighty Gothenburg-sound was at its peak. Headed by guitar hero Marios Iliopoulos (ex-Exhumation), all songs turn out to be aggressive and in-your-face, while combining memorable melodies and sheer brutality perfectly. Being true to their core sound, the band entered legendary Studio Fredman, where all the famous Gothenburg-style acts Dark Tranquillity, Soilwork, Arch Enemy, At the Gates, In Flames and NIGHTRAGE of course have recorded their classics. As always the guitars steal the show and Wearing A Martyr s Crown is no exception. Fast crushing riffing as well as catchy melodies, beautiful solos and some clean guitars form a specific atmosphere: Wearing A Martyr s Crown continues and truthfully upholds the original Swedish melodic death metal sound. NIGHTRAGE has gone through a number of major line-up changes in the past, with the participation of Gus G (FIREWIND, DREAM EVIL) and Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES, DISFEAR) which the band did for their efforts in Wearing A Martyr s Crown. Mastermind Marios Iliopoulos recruited shouter Antony Hämäläinen (BURN YOUR HALO, ex- SLAVES FOR SCORES) guitarist Olof Morck Guitar (DRAGONLAND), Jo Nunez (SUICIDE OF DEMONS) on drums and bassist Anders Hammer (ex-DISDAIN)
to find a solid line-up and to permute his death metallic vision.

Outstanding Metal album!

"Ok where to start...



I have loved every album nightrage has put out but this new one is in my opinion their best album. Now that may be hard to believe but i'll explain.



The songs are Heavier, more brutal, more technical, and more progressive. its everything i love about nightrage x100. The guitar playing is absolutely amazing! This is the best guitar performance i've heard in melodic death metal in a very long time. The melodys are Catchy melodic and sound great! The solos are outstanding. Bolth guitarists play their butt's off. I love how bolth guitarists have completely unique different styles of soloing, and you can always tell them apart. The musicanship really shows off in the instrumental "Sting Of Remorse" that song is amazing. the vocals sound like old school nightrage. so fans of their classic albums will be happy too.



this new album is the best of nightrage all in one album! fantastic album!"
