NIGHTRAGE / SWEET VENGEANCE

There is a lot of competition on the Melodic Death metal at the moment and now there is another name to contend with, Nightrage. This band is based in Gotenberg so you know what to expect and you won’t be disappointed.

Nightrage have a secret weapon to hand in the shape of Gus G, whose guitar work is exemplary throughout and lifts them above the rest, especially if you like blinding solo’s and great shredding riffs. He used to be in a Power Metal band called Dream Evil and this unusual background helps to make the Nightrage sound a little different to the rest of the pack. The vocals are the usual type except for a couple of tracks, especially "Circle Of Pain" where he actually sings normally and during this slower number they sound more like a Power metal band than a Death Metal band but still very, very good.

Stand out tracks include, "The Tremor","At The Ends Ot The Earth", "The Glow Of The Setting Sun" and "Ethereal".

DOWNLOAD : "The Tremor" from the Century Media site above.
