DARK NIGHTMARE – Tortured Souls
Eat
Metal records
DARK
NIGHTMARE is a band that doesn’t like to rush things and releases albums when they
feel ready. Four years have passed since their very good sophomore release
entitled “Beneath the Veils of Winter” and the band is ready to strike with its
third studio album entitled “Tortured Souls”. It is also worth mentioning that
their new album will be released by Eat Metal Records which also has released
their debut CD.
I
have followed the band since their first demo and one thing that describes them
is their constant improvement and progress of their sound. And when I say
progress, I mean that they manage to keep their musical identity and enrich it
with other influences that come from metal and Greek folk music. In their third
album once again DARK NIGHTMARE have all the traditional heavy metal elements
that made us like this band, but this time they give to their keyboards a major
role. No, don’t worry they didn’t become symphonic or something like that, but
the keyboards are used in order to emphasize the epic – lyrical feeling of the
songs. Sometimes they bring to my mind BATHORY. “Tortured Souls” is a DARK
NIGHTMARE album which means that you will listen here to traditional metal
inspired by such bands like RIOT, ACCEPT and IRON MAIDEN. Finally I want to
mention that the album also has a progressive metal touch in the way of IRON
MAIDEN’s “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” album.
I
think that people who liked DARK NIGHTMARE won’t be disappointed here, but this
is an album that you will need to give a couple of spins in your player before
it starts growing in you.
