Once again Nightrage has been plagued by line-up changes with Marios Iliopoulos as the only remaining original member. Luckily this did not have an impact on the band’s sound at all. Hell, I’d even go as far as saying that “Wearing A Martyr’s Crown” is the band’s most accomplished album to date.
Harking back to the days when melodic death metal was still death metal first and foremost, this is a brutal affair. There are of course the occasional acoustic parts and some soaring riffs but there’s no mistaking this for anything but a metal album. Most of the riffage is violent and new vocalist Antony Hämäläinen has some gnarly growls at his disposal as you can hear right off the bat in “Shed The Blood”
Great album that will appeal to every death metal afficionado out there!
Score: 8 out of 10
