FIREWIND Guitarist Performs With NIGHTRAGE At Sweden's ROCKWEEKEND Festival
July 21, 2008FIREWIND guitarist Gus G. rejoined his former NIGHTRAGE bandmates on stage ths past Saturday (July 19) at the Rockweekend festival at Kilafors Herrgard in Kilafors, Sweden for a rendition of the song "Hero". Fan-filmed video footage of the "Hero" performance, as well as a clip of NIGHTRAGE playing the tracks "Being Nothing" and "Phantasma", can be viewed below.
NIGHTRAGEis currently writing material for its fourth album "and the result so far is 100% BRUTAL melodic death metal with a healthy dose of blast-beats, ethereal melodies and hook-lines that should be hard to shake out of your head!" according to the band. "Antony's [Hämäläinen] vocals are coming really heavy, warm, and passionate like the [Tomas] Lindberg [former NIGHTRAGE and current DISFEAR/AT THE GATES singer] glorious days, and Marios [Iliopoulos, guitar] and Olof [Mörck, guitar] have the best chemistry ever, both in songwriting and guitar collaboration. The songs so far have a very old-school feel, without lacking originality, and represents a conscious search for what has been NIGHTRAGE's little unique enclave in the quite crowded 'melodeath' scene."
Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "The Failure of All Human Emotions", "Among Wolves", "Opposite in Black", "Abandon", "Shed the Blood", "Wearing a Martyr's Crown" and "Mocking Modesty".
NIGHTRAGE's third album, "A New Disease Is Born", was released in April 2007. The CD was recorded at Hansen studios in Ribe, Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, MERCENARY, FEAR MY THOUGHTS, HEAVEN SHALL BURN).
NIGHTRAGE last year recruited Arizona-based singer Antony Hämäläinen (also in BURN YOUR HALO) to replace Jimmie Strimell.
