Nightrage fulfil all of the stylistic expectations you’d associate with a melodic death metal act with a song about damnation. Pitched as ‘another perfect slice of melodic brutality!’ ‘The Damned’ is a joyful celebration of unholy doom and purgatory pitched against thunderous drumming, chunky power chords and some epic guitar soloing.
While it’s usually bassists or drummers who come and go, Nightrage have had a conspicuously high number of vocalists pass through, with Ronnie Nyman being the fifth since their inception at the turn of the millennium.
Six years into his tenure and with upcoming album ‘Wolf to Man’ being his third with the band Nyman sound pretty well as home as he bombastically boasts ‘We are the daaaaaamned!’
