ACT YOUR RAGE

The next song I'm going to profile is something a little more recent. This song is by Nightrage and it's been just killing me lately. Like, ‘man that’s good, I think I’ll start it again’. Anyway, Nightrage is one of the many bands that Tomas Lindberg has recorded with but then failed to maintain any level of consistency(see The Crown, Lock Up, The Great Deceiver). Well, to be fair he did do two Nightrage records but has since quit and he’s stuck with Disfear so far but his track record remains to be pretty shaky. Despite these issues you can rest assured that this song has his trademark throat shredding class. Also seeing as it is Nightrage you can expect some nifty and fleeting guitar work but as you will learn to expect, my ears hear the drums first and they are killer here. More importantly is the drum production, super tight and clean. The fact that the average age of these guys is 25 depresses me, except for Marios who is like forfty something but he writes all the tunes so who cares?
Highlights – the fills at :32 and :46 which repeat throughout the song. Especially towards the end of the :46 fill with the simultaneous kicks and cymbals trill, whatever pal.

Descent into Chaos

Sidenote – The first Nightrage record featured Per Jensen from the Haunted on the ol’ traps but this one has some guy named Fotis.
