NIGHTRAGE Issue Official Lyric Video For ‘Shadows Embrace Me’ Track
May 17th, 2022

Greek / Swedish melodic death metal band Nightrage have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Shadows Embrace Me’, which can be viewed below.

Nightrage issued ninth full-length studio album Abyss Rising on February 18th, 2022 through Despotz Records.

Vocalist Ronnie Nyman commented: “The third and last part of our conceptual trilogy about the unavoidable demise of mankind is finally here. The pandemic slowed us down but could not stop this journey down the abyss. This time we turned it up even more than ever before. It’s more aggressive, more melodic and more of everything that makes us Nightrage. It’s a wild ride! Brace yourselves.”

Bassist Francisco Escalona added: “This album fills the gap on some of the aspects I expected Nightrage to address – many soundscaping passages with beautiful melodies, other complete chaotic and aggressive parts. I really enjoy the concept of complete obliteration of humanity to its smallest form and the way it makes you contemplate the insignificance of our time as individuals. The album feels solid to me and there’s something for everybody there… it will take you places.”

Abyss Rising was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Cover artwork was created by Jon Tousas at Graphic No Jutsu.
