One review covers Nightrage’s A New Disease Is Born, noting a lineup shake-up, a move to Lifeforce Records, and Jacob Hansen’s polished production. The music is described as clean yet aggressive Scandinavian-style melodeath with a heavy melodic/harsh dichotomy. It’s criticized as derivative of In Flames, Children Of Bodom, and Arch Enemy, with touches of metalcore.
