The Nightmare Stage - "Dark Skies" (lyric video)

I wait for the healing sun
the drowning forgotten ones
crawl to the surface
now a promise I lay bound
I'll see you next time around
beyond the falling down the falling down

Beautiful I'll run from the light
Beautiful twisted delight
Beautiful I'll make things right
Beautiful I'll run from the light

I wait for the healing sun
the drowning forgotten ones
crawl to the surface
now a promise I lay bound
I will wait for you
and you have been true all this time

Beautiful I'll run from the light
Beautiful twisted delight
Beautiful I'll make things right
Beautiful I'll run from the light

Dark Skies I see a full moon in the sky
Dark Skies come with me just take my hand
we'll find a way and understand
this life for you it's wrong
We walk into the dark skies

Dark Skies another soul I will despise.
Dark Skies I see a devil in the sky
Dark skies come with me
just take my hand
we'll find a way and understand
this life for you It's wrong

Οι The Nightmare Stage δημιουργήθηκαν το 2008 στην Νέα Υόρκη. Δύο χρόνια αργότερα κυκλοφόρησαν το ντεμπούτο τους ("Free Admission for the Damned") και... χάνονται τα δισκογραφικά τους ίχνη. Δεν διαλύθηκαν όμως. Στα τέλη Απριλίου, εννέα χρόνια μετά, επιστρέφουν δισκογραφικά με το δεύτερο album τους, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "When The Curtain Closes".

Οι The Nightmare Stage είναι ένα Αμερικάνικο prog / power metal συγκρότημα, το οποίο δηλώνει επηρεασμένο από μπάντες όπως οι Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Hades, Fates Warning, Black Sabbath κλπ. Αξίζει να αναφερθεί ότι ο τραγουδιστής Scott Oliva τραγουδά επίσης και στους Reverence, Wind Wraith, Tomorrow's Outlook...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The Nightmare Stage began as a group of diverse musicians with many years experience plying their respective crafts. They entered this musical partnership knowing one thing; that they’re goal was to create the darkest, heaviest and most dynamic product that they could. The outcome from actually having the band in one room writing material for the debut CD (like they used to do it in the old days) turned out to be a very exciting result.

Epic, sweeping keyboards courtesy of Marc Muchnik (Mourning Hour, Immortally Committed) combined with a stellar union between classic and modern riffing provided by Craig Bessemer (Mourning Hour, Immortally Committed) open the themes for this brand of cinematic Metal.

Opting for a hearty mixture of doom, thrash and NWOBHM, Bessemer leaves no stone unturned in the metal pantheon. These are then complemented highly by the multifaceted vocal attack of Mr. Scott Oliva (Oceans Of Night, Windwraith). The wall of sound created by skinsman Mike Festa (Immortally Committed, Coded) forms a monstrous backdrop to the proceedings.

The NightMare Stage CD has a projected release in spring 2010 and as far as debut CDs go, this one by far exceeds past all of our expectations to date. With a production team and visual expert on board this will make the first NightMare Stage concept CD come to life... April showers bring... what may be "The NightMare Stage...»
