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 Hamalainen (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
