Rating: After two albums with Century Media, Nightrage found themselves facing yet another lineup change and were forced to seek a new record deal. Landing at Lifeforce Records, they immediately set their instruments ablaze to create a work capable of bringing them high in the firmament of Scandinavian-style melodic death metal.
The Greek/Swedish formation chose, as their first move, to have Jacob Hansen (Destruction, Illdisposed, Raunchy, Hatesphere, Fear My Thoughts, etc.) produce them, also because, not being able to rely on distinctive writing which could set them apart from other adherents of this musical form, they had to ensure that the sound was as competitive as possible. A smart choice aimed at making the twelve explosive and aggressive compositions (although still very clean) both in the direct and tight passages as well as in the melodic ones. Also because the songs rely heavily on this dichotomy and on the pairings arising from the combinations they create.
Recommended for those willing to undergo replicas of In Flames, Children Of Bodom, and Arch Enemy with some occasional metal-core elements reminiscent of Killswitch Engage.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
09 Encircle (03:33)
Let me go, Let me break this wall, Let me build me up again, My inner generation strikes me With mechanical signals. Broken sound encircle This inhuman behavior. An imaginary world you say? Still my fate is lead by this deviate game. Circulating the scene For the very last time, Finding nothing. Am I forever? Creating my ways. You are creating my ways. Gathering the lies And applying the form. I let it dwell, this is the past, And now let me lead the future.
10 Drone (03:23)
There is another machinery taking all the hit
Spreading out it is filth ignoring the perpetual
Guilty, this phase is what consumes me
Repent, this is my bitterness
I'm waiting for this all to end
Forged to function complete
The sight you see is never before seen
The words you speak have never been heard
All new! All gone! So my words didn't lie
Everywhere I turn I see the same face
Striking me, hitting me, killing me
Everywhere I turn I feel the same fear
Collapsed, I'm being erased
I'm waiting for my chapter to be written
I'm waiting for this all to end
Everywhere I turn I see the same face
Striking me, hitting me, killing me
Everywhere I turn I feel the same fear
Collapsed, I'm being erased
