Nightmare Sonata

You turned me into your god....

About Me

Concieved in the barbaric wastelands of Greensboro, NC, Nightmare Sonata combines the sickest elements of musical and theatrical alchemy imaginable. Fusing together raw, dark, punk rock power chords with an industrial/ambiant wall of sound and setting it against a theatrical backdrop of gothic, apocolyptic debauchery, Nightmare Sonata strives to push their audience over the edges of sensory overload- driving the sanest of the sane to the brink of madness.
