Nightmare began
their road to success way back in 1979 but after a long period of hibernation
they finally returned to the music scene in 1999. They used to be one of the
most prominent French metal bands in the 80's but record company problems and
musical differences led to an early break-up. The line-up is not the same as
it used to be, most notable their former lead singer Jean-Marie Boix is not
among us anymore since he tragically passed away in 1999. The new lead
vocalist is the former drummer Jo Amore who is successfully backe up by the
rest of the band members. Those of you familiar with the releases from Napalm
Records will perhaps be a little surprised if you listen to this one because
they don't usually sign power metal bands. This is not just any power metal
band though. The vocals are very powerful, there are lots of bombastic
passages and impressing choir vocals and a nice 80's metal feeling that I
really like. It sounds like a mix of 80's heavy metal, modern power metal and
Tristania's "Beyond The Veil" album. The latter probably depends on the
fact that the album was produced by the sound wizard Terje Refsnes who has
moved his well-known Sound Suite studio from Norway to France. Nightmare has
returned and will not be forgotten.
