Here we have a French Powermetal band with name Nightmare. The Band already were formed in 1979. They made themselves for the first time a name, as support act of Def Leppard 1983 in their hometown Grenoble/France. They released till now three studio albums, 1984 "Waiting For The Twilight" , 1985 "Power Of The Universe“ and 2001 "Cosmovision". By the collapse of the label, various different labels and financial difficulties, came on top the serious illness of the singer Jean Jean-Marie box, who therefore leave the band 1987 and died tragically 1999. From the original Line Up were only Yves Campion (bass) and Nicolas De Dominics (guitar) left. Because of musical differences, chance diverse Line Ups and came finally to their newest Work „The Dominion Gate“ with the Line Up singer Jo Amore, the two guitarists Alex Hilbert and Franck Milleliri, bassplayer Yves Campion and drummer David Amore. In music, but also of the Cover, they did develop kind very much to the better one. Whether now because of the Swedish label Regain Records is or not, I want not to state here. On this CD you gets pure Powermetal and really by the finest one and not badly arranged. Sure that you first must get used to the strange unusual playin of one or the other Songs, but folds outstanding, to some time. What doesn´t stand for Nightmare also straight for the typical Powermetal, are the side effects or the mystic music sound. It makes the Songs a little unnatural and perhaps new, which then also at most people as the first impression leads to the fact that one would like to put the CD equivalent again away. Which however is the wrong decision. The Songs are very varied. Would you like to listen more Stratovarius or Symphony X style, than listen „Temple Of Tears“, „A Taste Of Armageddon“ (special here the woman voice) or even „Secret Rules“ (here particularly, the spoken text at the beginning and the Japanese sounding voice). More in the melodic area and in addition my favourites are „Messenger Of Faith“ and „Circle Of The Dark“. They remimds me on songs from Rob Rock, Nocturnal Rites, great! „The Dressmaker“ remember me sometimes on Marilyn Mansons Style. „Paranormal Magnitude Part II“ is rather something for the church with much choir in the background and almost also instrument. All other Songs is very fast, varied and sometimes typical Powermetal Songs, with strange Background voices and choir. Just listen it!
