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
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.
