Nightrage - A Throne Of Melancholy (Official Music Video)

Nightrage is back once again, delivering one of their best albums, in their 23 years of existence, without stopping creating uncompromising music for their devoted fanbase.

“Remains Of A Dead World” is the 10th album of the band and this time the band returned to where everything had started, since Nightrage was born in Greece in 2000.

With the great help of their past bandmate and now producer, sound engineer, Fotis Benardo (Rotting Christ, Septicflesh, Sakis Tolis, Nightfall, On Thorns I lay, Suicidal Angels) at his Devasoundz studio in Athens Greece, and with his great producing skills, “Remains Of A Dead World” is a mixture of all the things that makes Nightrage a beast of integrity, they prove to be one of the last remaining true masters of the melodic death metal genre, fully unstoppable riffing, and great hooks with bigger than life guitar melodies with brutal vocals that represents the honesty and pure musical delivery, that comes straight from the heart.

The album has been mastered by a great friend of the band George Nerantzis (Abbath, Dark Funeral, Pain Of Salvation, Sakis Tolis) and his great skills gave the album a huge sound with clarity, power and analog flavor.

About the new single they had this to say:

Marios; "We love great hooks and melodies, and I feel that this song has these 2 elements that we are always trying to portray on our songs, trying to find the perfect balance between ethereal melodies and big metal riffing.
The song structure is pretty simple and almost coming to the heavy metal territory, love Konstantinos vocals are very melodic and aggressive with nice overtones, and the chorus hits hard with mine and Fotis Benardo clean vocals, something that I’m trying for the first time on a Nightrage album. 
The song talks about the fact that even if we are on our worst possible state in our life's journey, there is a lot of hardships that we have to face every day in our lives, but we need to remember that there's a light always shining for us at the end of the tunnel, and no matter what how many times we are down, we need always to find the inner power to stand up and face our fears and live our life for what it is, with courage and patience, with no darker corners and no agendas."

Konstantinos; "The song "A throne of Melancholy" is one of the most melodic songs of our album. 
When I first listened to the melodies and heavy riffs that Marios came up in the guitar I instantly realized that this is a song that requires more colorful brutal vocals. Also, the clean vocals that Fotis Benardo and Marios did, enhance this melodic feeling even more without changing the origins of the song. 
The lyrics of the song, are dark and gloomy as always, are about seeking hope in a dark state of self and overcoming sorrow. 
The balanced combination of the above elements (melodic heavy riffs, colorful vocals and dark lyrics) is what fascinates me the most and proves to be the perfect recipe of a great melodic death metal song!"

Lyrics:
Farrago
the utter end
my loneliness
casts my own defeat
Among them
they knew the truth
but they turn their backs away
silence my idea
letting life obscure

Into my own grief

just another cloud

hear what night has to say, you can face tomorrow
in your eyes
escape the shadows hunting you

I can see the venom through the face of pain
Wounds of self-deception

Waiting for the final sign

A Throne of melancholy
I can see the venom through the face of pain
Is my only guide
Waiting for the final sign

Being none
my innocence
is taking over
i'm becoming something new
in power now
i rest myself
and cast aside

All the things I used to be
All the things I used to see

Intricate waves of sadness
I can see the venom through the face of pain
Wounds of self-deception
Waiting for the final sign

This quiet night, you can face tomorrow
in your eyes
escape the shadows hunting you

I can see the venom through the face of pain
Wounds of self-deception,

Waiting for the final sign

A Throne of melancholy
I can see the venom through the face of pain
Is my only guide

Waiting for the final sign

A Throne of melancholy x2

This track really takes me back to the early albums "A New Disease Is Born" and a little bit of "Sweet Vengeance" Makes me feel super nostalgic. Love it.

Marios if you write another album after this you should reach out to Tomas or Jimmie to see if they'd be interested in doing a feature on it, would be really fun to hear those two on vocals again alongside your new guy.
