European melodic death metal outfit NIGHTRAGE have come full circle, and this time their pursuit of death metal excellence will have the entire metal community in agreement! After the release of “A New Disease Is Born,” NIGHTRAGE looked once again to friend/producer Fredrik Nordström (Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, At the Gates) to record an album that defines the Melodic death metal genre. After two highly successful albums on Century Media (and one on their new label home Lifeforce), “Wearing A Martyr’s Crown” will take everyone back to the glory days of the Gothenburg Metal scene.

The album mixes Marios Iliopoulos’ frenetic guitar style, incredible riffing, eerie melodies and his trademark solos with the unmistakable Olof Morck providing astounding melodies and leads; the never ending punishment from vocalist Antony Hamalainen will remind fans of classic works such as “Slaughter Of The Soul” and “The Mind’s I”. With hard hitting rhythms laid down by the pulsating bass playing of Anders Hammer and the machine like drumming of Johan Nunez, no stone is left unturned by a band that knows exactly where it came from and exactly where it’s going. “Wearing A Martyr’s Crown” will go down in Melodic Death Metal history! Without a doubt it is the comeback of the decade in the melodic death metal genre.

The album’s thrashy opener “Shed The Blood” starts out with atmospheric chants fused with eerie industrial noises composed by DRAGONLAND keyboardist Elias Holmlid, but after the song itself kicks in, it quickly assumes the shape of a metallic masterpiece.
