Nightmare (France) - The Burden Of God (2012)

Artist : Nightmare
Country : France
Release : The Burden Of God
Year : 2012
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The album begins with a very interesting intro ("Gateways To The Void") which somehow reminds me of the French style. I don't know how I can explain this orchestra theme, but I will just say that even if you are going to give me this intro without telling me that the band from France, right away I will understand that they are French. Without giving our ears even one second of peace the second song comes in. Its name is "Sunrise In Hell" and I think every Metalhead that loves 80's Heavy Metal is going to like it. The guitars are really good, the drums work perfectly and the singer (Joe) is amazing. His voice reminds me of Ronnie James Dio. This album came to me just in time because it was almost 2 years without him. And this singer reminds me him in the "Mob Rules" era.

Sixteen years after the release of their second album, French Power Metal band Nightmare, released their third album, Cosmovision,
The songs aren't very long, but with 12 (maybe 11) tracks, you get your money's worth. This isn't prog-like metal. This is fantasy-ish. What I'm trying to say by that is that the album is a story about some lines with ancient South American cultures. Its very interesting to read what they printed in the lyric booklet.
There isn't a keyboardist, but trust me - you will be taken to another dimension if you listen to this beast of an album at night, especially the title track. The vocalist is awesome and has a SOMEWHAT scratchy voice, but the choirs make you forget about him every once and a while. There is 1 verse sung with a female vocalist. The guitar riffs are very well done. Speed? Average, for the most part. One song is quite fast. The drums are VERY much like on Manowar's "Warriors of the World" (the whole album), AND so is the overall tempo. The fastest song is near the end and there aren't any really fast songs until then.
