Nightmare - Power Of The Universe (1985)


The perfect soundtrack to the mid '80s. This is a true slab of heavy metal, the band's second opus. I love the vocal delivery of Jean Marie and the density of the guitars. Nothin' fancy here, just good French metal, and I've heard that the band, despite tragically losing their singer, reformed in the late '90s and their career has prospered. Eight tracks on offer here, worth every penny, and although I've seen this labelled as thrash metal, it's not, but instead exists as a potent and gothic-edged power metal.


7.5/10
