Greek-Swedish bullet number six

For the first time in the now 15-year career of the Greek-Swedish death metal trailer combination Nightrage, the band could not comply with the two-year cycle and provides more than four years after the powerful Insidious only the successors and overall sixth longplayer The Puritan. Baseless that has not happened, the list of former members already read anyway like a Greek Swedish phonebook, so now ranked also frontman Antony Hämäläinen (ARMAGEDDON) as well as its short-term replacement Jimmie Strimmel (ex-DEATH DESTRUCTION), the previously in Nightrage sang and then none other than Tomas Lindberg Tampa (AT THE GATES, ex-THE CROWN) replaced, a.

As a replacement now completes Ronnie Nyman, who actually comes from the hardcore area and the band ALWAYS WAS, the trio around the fighter Marios Iliopoulus those who will nevertheless held the band since the beginning again and Anders Hammer. Again deliver the men's pure Melodic Death Metal with typical aggressive riffing, successful guitar melodies and numerous hooks and the beloved Gothenburg sound. Marios shakes still strong guitar work from his sleeve, while Anders for together with session drummer Jo Nunez (Firewind) ensures tight rhythm and Ronnie very well fit into the band's sound. He understood the band's sound and comes with hot-croaking voice therefore; the hardcore charm of his voice only so rarely breaks through, but the somewhat hysterical sounding voice his predecessor liked me then but a bit better.

Also this time, Nightrage Customers brought on board and go with guitar wizard Gus G. (Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind) who co-founded the band back then, back to the roots. In addition to the atmospheric instrumental Lone Lake with 12-string acoustic guitar, Nightrage thus provide everything you knows you and loves the best. Aggressive, briefly held breaker, although not stingy with hooks that go well thanks to understated melodies ear and also held a few discreet Clean chants included. Although one does not quite serve up the ingenious debut and the no less powerful predecessor, but fans of the band will be with The Puritan thanks to strong song material more than satisfied.

Recommended are the furious With A Blade Of A Knife and written together with Gus G. dynamic Death Metal anthem When Gold Turns To Rust. Bad stuff you will not find on the plate but anyway.
