NIGHTRAGE: 'Vengeance Descending' 2CD Release Detailed - Nov. 20, 2010

"Swedish metal at its best!" and "The first legitimate successor of AT THE GATES' milestone 'Slaughter Of The Soul'" is what Germany's Metal Hammer magazine wrote back in the early to mid-2000s when NIGHTRAGE released their much-lauded albums "Sweet Vengeance" (2003) and "Descent Into Chaos" (2005) on Century Media Records.

Now, on "Vengeance Descending" you now have the chance to discover these albums on one double CD including detailed liner notes by Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES), Marios Iliopoulos, Fredrik Nordström (DREAM EVIL; producer of AT THE GATES, IN FLAMES, DARK TRANQUILLITY) and Gus G. (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND) as well as new artwork (see below) by Gustavo Sazes (ARCH ENEMY, THE CROWN, FIREWIND, DREAM EVIL).

Also, exclusive to this release is a previously unreleased track named "Gallant Deeds" featuring lead vocals by Mikael Stanne from DARK TRANQUILLITY.

Stanne comments: "A long time ago my friend Marios asked me to sing on one of his songs for the next NIGHTRAGE album. Being a fan of his work and NIGHTRAGE, I, of course, agreed. The song was very different and very cool. So I was happy to do it. It didn't fit on the album though so this is the very first time you guys get to hear it. Hope you like it!"​

I think I should order this

Nightrage is a rock-solid melodeath band, but I never really sensed the innovation. The trio of DT, In Flames, and ATG were all amazing when they were inventing the genre, and it's really cool to see how DT has matured and continued to expand on that core since then. In Flames is also a fairly interesting experiment, in its own way. While Nightrage does an incredible job following up in that genre, I would enjoy them more if they stretched it a bit. That said, they are an incredible metal band, and I'm looking forward to hearing the new tracks.
