Nightrage, Lambgoat.com Stream Upcoming Album The Puritan
Band’s sixth album out April 24 on Despotz Records
Veteran Greek/Swedish melodic death metal band, Nightrage, has teamed up with Lambgoat to stream its upcoming sixth studio album, The Puritan, in its entirety, here. The Puritan will be released April 24 through Despotz Records.
Nightrage guitarist/founder Marios Iliopoulos told Lambgoat, “We are very proud of all the songs on this new album, and we feel grateful that after all the turbulence and ups and downs in the Nightrage camp, with members leaving and changing labels we still stand strong… the overall sound of the new album is loud, very powerful and perfectly suited for a Nightrage that is stronger than ever… As a band we feel that this album is a new fresh start for all of us, and we have nothing but positive energy and overall creative atmosphere in the band… For us, The Puritan is a great example of this new page in our musical history and we feel that the best is yet to come.“
You can pre-order The Puritan through the Desptoz web-store.
The Puritan ~ an uncompromising, eerie, dramatic and melodic death metal journey in its purest essence ~ welcomes new Nightrage vocalist Ronnie Nyman to the mix. Nyman joins founding member guitarist Marios Iliopoulos and bassist Anders Hammer, after performing with the band last year on its Japanese and Russian tours.
Album number six was produced by Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Soilwork) and George Nerantzis at Dugout Productions in Uppsala, Sweden.

Nightrage was founded in 2000 in Greece by Marios Iliopoulos and his close friend, Gus G., who departed after the band’s second album, Descent into Chaos, to join Ozzy Osbourne.
During the band’s longstanding career, Nightrage has released five studio albums and toured across Europe, the U.S., Canada and Asia while employing various musicians from At The Gates, Evergrey, Dark Tranquility, Amaranthe and Firewind.
Nightrage signed a record/publishing deal with Swedish music company Despotz in summer 2014 before entering the studio with Daniel Bergstrand and George Nerantzis.
“Today we are proud to announce that we have signed an album deal with Despotz Records,” commented Iliopoulos on the band’s new label home. “We are super excited to work with such a dedicated bunch of people.“
“Dreams can really come true; Nightrage is a living proof of that,” added Ömer Akay, Despotz Records co-founder and partner. “I’m honored to be working with Marios and Nightrage; we truly have the same background and visions to take the band to the mainstream.“
