Bio:
Welcome Ronnie Nyman from the mighty hardcore metal band "Always War" as the new singer and frontman of Nightrage! Ronnie who claimed his right to the position with his over the top stage persona, his cool character and amazing vocal skills during the Japanese and Russian tours last year, now brings a new fresh approach to the Nightrage signature sound, along side with Anders Hammer who releases his signature thunderous monster bass mayhem on the album once again.The teamwork between Marios and Ronnie writing music and lyrics together, works in a perfect way and it is unmistakably amazing, this is the first time for Marios and Nightrage, finding such an amazing frontman that truly burns for his craft and believes in the band.Songs Like The title track: "The Puritan" and "Kiss Of A Sycophant" brings that pure metal kick in the balls that many bands tend to forget about today. Songs full of metallic energy, fast and frenetic riffing and super melodic guitar lines and expressive solos, all performed by main-man and guitar shogun Marios Iliopoulos. Showcasing his great devotion and focus bleeding his beloved music for us without hesitation."The Puritan" has a wide array of dynamics. Everything from thrash and black metal riffing, screaming vocals, big choruses and great vocal hooks, to 12 string acoustic guitar passages, twin guitar melodic lines in the style of Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden as well as emotional solos. Listen to the Instrumental song Lone Lake, providing a deeper look into the more laid-back range of dynamics of Nightrage, showing a more melodramatic side of the band.The production from recording-guru Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, Inflames, Dimmu Borgir, Devin Townsend, Evergrey, Soilwork) and George Nerantzis from Dug Out Productions Studios in Uppsala, it is truly breathtaking and really brings up all the best elements that characterize the Nightrage sound.In addition to all this, once again a songwriting collaboration between Nightrage and Marios blood brother and old time friend, Gus G from (Firewind and Ozzy Osbourne band) on "When Gold Turns To Rust", that brings together the old with the new and deliver yet again a classic Nightrage anthem.This time the songs are shorter and more simplistic, and the lyrics are deep and very esoteric, dealing with the rotten core of the human race and the rough reality that we have to face every day. They are based on stories that everyone can relate too in this sick world that we are living in, a world where the quest for power, money, control, and status make us humans turn into monsters.But if there is a light at the end of this tunnel, then Nightrage will strive towards that light!If you find no other reason to keep on fighting, then Nightrage will be there to show you that integrity, the will to change and a firm belief in metal might not save our world, but it may breath new life into a tired soul slowly fading away and a staggering metal scene in need.That is Nightrage, a light that blinds at the path of redemption!
Album:
NIGHTRAGE release their seventh full length album! NIGHTRAGE has always been honest and true to their craft and with the upcoming album "THE VENOMOUS" they have made their best album to date.With the addition of Magnus So"derman on guitars and Lawrence Dinamarca on drums, Marios Iliopoulos, Ronnie Nyman and Anders Hammer have reinforced their foundation to create a masterpiece of pure melodic death metal that is "THE VENOMOUS" The concept and misanthropic message of NIGHTRAGE's seventh album might appear simple and straight forward.However, "THE VENOMOUS" is everything BUT simple! This relentless tale of extinction is told with as much venomous aggression as there is intriguing and mesmerizing melodies.Memorable hooks and some of the catchiest choruses that metal has seen in decades, does nothing to compromise the brutality and honesty that NIGHTRAGE is known for.The music is catchy and extreme, melodic and wild! And lyrically it deals with the failure of mankind and how we as human beings are racing towards our own extinction.Make no mistake, life is hard, but NIGHTRAGE is harder!
