NIGHTREALM HAS RETURNED - RECORDING NEW MUSIC
MASSIVE UPDATES COMING SOON
Out from the shadows comes The Bay Area's newest melodic death metal contingent, NIGHTREALM. Specializing in the most fiendish and villainous metal, the music is that of melodic death with an ominous dimension of sinister keyboard treachery. Music that strives to create a realm of horrific imagery and malevolent atmosphere. Combining melodic, sometimes empyreal guitars with ghastly, foreboding keyboard work. Vicious, blistering vocals take the sound over the edge, creating an emanation of immense evil.
The band first materialized in 2002. Nick Norton, Mitch Beggs, and Nick Wesmore played in various bands, originally uniting with other Bay Area musicians for a thrash project called Human Shield. The band demoed a few songs, but due to conflicting schedules, motivation, and locations, members dropped out and the band dissipated.
After more than three years of involvement in various separate projects, the three aligned again in May of 2006 with a revised lineup to form Nightrealm. Brought together by a brooding obsession to create something different, something that modern
American metal was missing, the newly formed trio began rehearsals in late May. And recorded the debut track "Creatures of the Night" in the late hours of June 06, 2006 at Old Vengeance Studios in Oakland, California. While Norton and Wesmore mixed the track, Beggs contrived a daunting keyboard piece that would become the second and closing track on the band's debut release.
The Creatures Of The Night demo was released June 13, 2006. It received a limited local release under Shadowking Records as well as debuting on the internet a few days later. It was there that the debut demo enjoyed an excellent response, drawing praise from new fans all over the US as well as the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Mexico, France, Japan, Israel, Poland, and many others. The band continued to demo material throughout 2006 while searching for a permanent drummer.
Most of 2007 saw an extended break from active duty. Nick Norton completed a year-long sabbatical in Tokyo, Japan, writing and demoing new material and playing in a local Japanese band, INFIDEL. At the same time Mitch Beggs transformed his electronic project DOOMSTRIBE into a fresh new live act. Beggs and Wesmore also began work on an as-yet-unnamed industrial project.
Nightrealm returned in November and is currently recording new music.
It will be only then that the darkness shall truly spread..
