OK, tough guy, riddle me this: what's your stance on Swedish melodeath? If your answer is anything approaching positive or affirmative, I've got a little morsel of goodness for your Sunday afternoon.
As is the case with a number of bands I've written about in the last little bit, it's a pretty safe bet that Greco-Swedish melodeath band Nightrage aren't out to reinvent the wheel or redraw the metal map. Far from it, Gothenburg melodeath with an old-school feel is more or less Nightrage's bread and butter. Case in point: Nightrage's latest single and video "Kiss of a Sycophant" from their upcoming new record The Puritan, a song that sounds like it could have come out any time in the last twenty years or so.
Sometimes that kind of new-old vibe can be a bad thing, but if anything with a bit of melodeath flavour tickles your fancy, Nightrage might well be an act worth your time to check out.
