This melodic Power/prog Metal band based in Annecy, France (Near Switzerland and Italy, A + for touring and promoting the band) was formed in February 2001 around Gérard Fois an experienced singer who did previously 2 albums with DREAM CHILD (whose 2nd album was released through Metal Blade Records). At that time he teamed up with guitarist Christophe Offredi and bass player Nicolas Jean Pierre and with drummer Arnaud Gorbaty (playing with Alkemyst signed to Nuclear Blast).
ETERNAL FLIGHT is an Amazingly talented technical Power Metal band, displaying progressive elements, musicality and much power, Gérard vocals sounds a little like Bruce Dickenson, but also having much of his own flavor as well. The songs are technical but not overly so, unlike many of the latest prog-power shred albums released as of late, this album is not filled with mindless wankery, rather lush with well written passages and some great tasteful flash where it should be and played to perfection.

HEART OF SUN - Heart of Sun (RELEASE August 28th, 2007)
NMR-312
UPC 734923004226
AN AMAZING NEW ITALIAN BAND FORMED FROM THE ASHES OF OTHER GREAT BANDS, FUSING THEIR TALENTS TO MAKE A NEW MELODIC PROGRESSIVE POWER METAL GROUP, WITH THEIR OWN SPIN ON WHAT THAT SHOULD SOUND LIKE. The basic idea for forming Heart of Sun springs from the meeting of five artistic personalities which share the love for sound research, the energy of metal, the progressive atmospheres and a little hint of psychedelic, a bit of Jazz. After significant musical experiences that lead the guitarist to record and release albums with several metal bands ( DOOMSWORD, TIME MACHINE, POWER SYMPHONY, BEHOLDER) and they begin to work together, united by a strong synergy. The band realized they already knew a great vocal-talent in Pino Tozzi. Pino set out to enrich the work with the creation of the vocals. The drawing up of the concept-piece is ready.
In early 2007 the band signed a deal Nightmare Records for North & central America(USA & CANADA & Mexico), and the debut album is scheduled for being released August 28th, 2007

EVIL MASQUERADE - Third Act + 2 Bonus (JULY 24TH)
CAT # NMR-322
UPC CODE 73492300432
NIGHTMARE RECORDS is gearing up for the EVIL MASQUERADE fourth album coming in 2008 and in doing so are going to release their third album to NORTH AMERICA and begin to build the bands presence here.
Though this album was released in Europe and Japan in 2006, this album is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and has gone relatively unnoticed in our Territory says Nightmare owner Lance King.
Here are a few review snippits from the European media (ROCK REPORT -Henrik Flyman, known for his work with Moahni Moahna and Wuthering Heights, and company. The disc largely exceeds its predecessors! Recorded at Jailhouse Studios by Tommy Hansen and Flyman himself with Apollo Papathanasio on vocals. Keyboards were done by guest musicians Richard Andersson (Space Odyssey, Time Requiem) and David Rosenthal (Rainbow, Whitesnake, Steve Vai, Red Dawn). The bands progress on this album is remarkable. Papathanasio voice is much more impressive and versatile than Brockmann and the song material is of a very high and constant level. Third Act offers everything from slow, Black Sabbath reminding tracks to really fast, neo-classical, Malmsteen inspired tunes
Brilliant Melodic and progressive, fresh yet familiar sounding metal.
I've been calling this a blending of the best of QUEEN / WHITESNAKE and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA....yes something different folks, Gothic Progressive Metal!
