Lance, give a listen if you want...

At first, I have to say that I am not related in any way with the bands I recommend. The only relative thing is that they are from my country (Greece). I think that their sound suites the Nightmare releases, so I think that they are potential additions to your roster.

The first one is Black Fate. Experienced band, they have released their 4th (and their best, I think) album last year. Very good melodic metal, in the vein of Conception.

The second one is Fortress Under Siege. You can call them power/epic/prog. They mix all these genres. With an EP back in 1996, they reunited some months ago and they are in a search of a label to release their new material.

That's all. I hope that that you won't misjudge my post, I just think that those bands deserve to be heard by a bigger audience. Thanks.

I'm familiar with both bands, and have sold both their releases here that I received on trades with German and Greek partners in the past, F.U.S. as I remember was a bit Queenryche sounding, and very good. B.F. didn't do much for sales I still have quite a few of them, this may just be because it wasnt' represented properly though, I don't recall hearing it. Maybe just needed to put some samples on the site for people to check out.

If you would like to mention us to both bands, they can get in touch via our contact form at the site if they're interested and we'll take it from there.

Thanks for responding, Lance.

I don't know the members of those bands personally, I am just a fan and I think that they fit with Nightmare Records roster. I 'll make a try to get them in touch with you.

As for Black Fate, their new album is a killer one, far better than their early material. Here is a song:
