Description/Reviews
Now, I must admit, I was a bit put off at the start with The Delusionist, a rather harsh sounding song with vocalist Nuno Miguel de Barros Fernandes taking a shot at adding dirty/death vocals. (He get a little raw in the latter half of Converging Saints.) But we recover with the following The Opaque Hourglass and Evidence Based Ignorance, both returning to the foundation of melodic metal and superb vocal harmonies. Those songs and also Converging Saints display Lanfear's trademark sharp and brisk riffage, adding accent to the sometimes galloping rhythm section. Of course, guitarist Markus Ullrich offers an abundance blistering leads throughout, another Lanfear highlight.

Description/Reviews
 Theirs is an approach that is relatively familiar in that it offers melodic power metal with lashings of synths and the odd foray into prog territory. However, crucially, where NightMare World really deliver and show their quality is in the song writing stakes. When it is well written and presented, this kind of music can be the kind of tonic that is infectious, addictive and something that will plaster a big smile on the listener’s face. This is exactly what NightMare World do and they should get great credit for it.
