Nightmare is a power metal band, native of Grenoble, France. The band was influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal phenomenon developing in the UK in the 1980s and started their career playing classic heavy metal, that later changed to power metal with death and thrash influences. For the past three decades, the French heavy metal pioneers NIGHTMARE are now already an integral part of the European music scene. Although interrupted by a ten-year hiatus (late 80s to late 90s), NIGHTMARE at any time had their fans behind them. And they were never disappointed. This beautiful tradition continues with "The Burden Of God" seamlessly: NIGHTMARE combine their classic heavy / power metal roots with some contemporary elements and show that they are living in the now. In direct comparison with the previous album "Insurrection" (2009), an increase is observed in symphonic elements, so that sometimes the memories of 2001's comeback album "Cosmovision” to be awake.

"The big difference is," laughs bassist Yves Campion, "that on "The Burden Of God" we have a much better sound." Together with the renowned producer Patrick Liotard NIGHTMARE recorded the album in Marseille, where it also was mixed. For the mastering the band was able to hire Maor Appelbaum (Halford, Therion, Sepultura, Yngwie Malmsteen).
