Nightmarer release new songs ‘Death/Swansong’

NIGHTMARER have released two brand new songs!

The new songs, titled Death and Swansong, are viewed as one inseparable unit are taken from the band’s upcoming debut full-length album Cacophony of Terror which is scheduled to be released later this month. Speaking about the new songs, guitarist Simon Hawemann says, “our track Death marks the inevitable end of Cacophony of Terror – it is the final stage of a battle that was never meant to be won. My inspiration for this song was all too real: I had to witness a person close to me decease over the course of several days. The riffs and sounds in Death reflect the heavy breathing, the tortured moans, and the spasms of a dying human being – sights and sounds that are burned into my memory forever. This experience served as a morbidly twisted foundation to give death itself an appropriate soundtrack. Once it’s all over, Death seamlessly makes the transitions into Swansong, which offers nothing else than just the relief of not having to fight any longer. One could not exist without the other, so we’re premiering both tracks merged into one today. We are thrilled to have joined forces with Alan Dubin (KHANATE/GNAW), who lent his terrifying voice to Death. His piercing screams serve as the perfect personification of the demon that lurks in the plagued mind of the album’s protagonist. Without further ado, embrace death!”
