Biography:Swedish/Greek melodic death metal outfit NIGTHRAGE are back with a vengeance, and this time their new disease will leave no one uninfected! After two highly successful and critically acclaimed albums on Century Media, NIGHTRAGE has now turned to seasoned metal producer Jacob Hansen (MERCENARY, HATESPHERE, RAUNCHY, FEAR MY THOUGHTS) to record a masterpiece of ruthlessly heavy riffing as well as soaring and ethereal melodies bearing the title “A New Disease is Born,” the follow-up to 2005’s “Descent into Chaos.” The result is an inspiring album mixing NIGHTRAGE’s trademark-take on melodic death metal with an unconditional vision of what the future of the genre should sound like; the relentless onslaught of opening track ‘Spiral’ through the divinely bewitching melodies of “Defame” to the death metal mega-hit “A Condemned Club,” NIGHTRAGE show with the greatest clarity that death metal can be truly uncompromising while also inventive and open-minded.
Since NIGHTRAGE was formed in Greece by Marios Iliopoulos and guitar hero Gus G (FIREWIND) many prominent figures of metal such as Tomas Lindberg (ex-AT THE GATES, DISFEAR, THE GREAT DECEIVER), Nicholas Barker (DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH), Per Möller Jensen (THE HAUNTED) has collaborated with the band, and after a few member changes the line-up is now as strong as their vision of metallic perfection. New vocalist Jimmie Strimell has already created a buzz of being one of the new stars on the death metal firmament and the bone crunching drumming of recently acquired drummer Alex Svenningson is sure to leave none un-amazed. Together with guitarist and founder Marios Iliopoulos and bassist Henric Carlsson, NIGHTRAGE is finally an unquestionable unity and have already proved their worth as an almighty metal machine on tour right up to the recording of “A New Disease is Born.”
With their new label Lifeforce Records, NIGHTRAGE are now ready to step up to the higher echelons of death metal, with an album that is sure to send riveting tremors throughout an unsuspecting world. Abandon all hopes of a cure when this new disease is born in early 2007!
