Greek/Swedish Melodic Death Metallers, NIGHTRAGE, have released a lyric video for “Dance Of Cerberus”, taken from their upcoming album, “Abyss Rising”, out on February 18th via Despotz Records. An album that is the band’s vision of mankind living in its own hell – a hell it has created through the destruction of the planet. Inspired in part by Dante’s Inferno, the album explores man’s continual destruction of the world we live in until the abyss opens up to consume all before it.
“Abyss Rising” was mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden. Cover artwork was created by Jon Toussas at Graphic no Jutsu.
Marios Iliopoulos comments on the track: ” ‘Dance Of Cerberus’ is a straight forward NIGHTRAGE signature style kind of song, that me and Magnus wrote and it has all these elements that characterize our sound. Heavy melodic riffs, sweet harmonies, and aggressive vocals. I love the intro with the super melodic harmonies and how that goes to a very heavy start for the song. The vocals on the chorus are super heavy and melodic at the same time, and they incorporate this new style, with clean vocals on the background, that makes the chorus very wide and open. Ronnie did a great job there with this nice blend of his heavy and clean vocals. This song is about us humans and our undying hunger and lust. And this eternal search for quick and easy pleasures make us crawl in our own filth just to get the next fix with no thought of the consequences.”
