The Sound

Host of Nightmare defies categorization. Their music weaves elements from modern metal, progressive rock and electronic textures to deathcore and even rap.

History

BRAINDANCE

The song is inspired by the game Cyberpunk 2077.

The song revolves around a dystopian cyberpunk-like world with strong connections to real-world issues and metaphors about manipulation, addiction to technology and the negative impact of a hyper-technological and digital society.

The theme of artificial intelligence and digitalization in general is becoming increasingly prominent, raising numerous questions and finding applications in various fields. As it continues to advance rapidly, the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies on human society is a topic of considerable interest. GENIUS

The Final Reckoning

The song is about suffering from severe anger issues, keeping feelings of rage, sadness, and pain deeply buried.

It explores the perilous power of revenge and hate, illustrating how intense emotional repression can give rise to inhuman strength and actions, ultimately turning one into a being of pure hatred at the cost of humanity. “Embodying your Demon” A fury that should never be released. This track promises an intense and dark atmosphere. The band combines brutal riffs, hard drums and deep guttural vocals to create a powerful sound. GENIUS

The single was influenced by Brand of Sacrifice songs ‘Exodus’ and ‘Purge.’^[3]
