Nightmare is a French power metal band from Grenoble, blending roots in classic heavy metal with a modern, powerful sound that has evolved over time. Early in their career, the band focused on traditional metal, gradually moving further into power metal territory with heavier riffs, faster rhythms, and soaring vocals.
Influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) of the 1980s, Nightmare’s music balances melodic hooks with driving guitar work. Over time, they incorporated elements of thrash and death metal, giving their songs extra bite without losing the melodic core that fans love. This combination of styles has earned Nightmare a reputation for creating music that is both technically impressive and emotionally engaging.
Over the years, Nightmare has featured several talented musicians who helped shape the band’s sound. Notable past members have included:
Jo Amore – lead vocals
David Amore – guitars
Alban Deman – bass
Patrick Laffont – drums
Matt Assel – keyboards
The current lineup includes Franck Milleliri on guitars and Yves Campion on bass, bringing their own energy and style to Nightmare’s powerful mix of traditional heavy metal and modern power metal. Together, current and former members have contributed to the band’s melodic hooks, driving riffs, and signature intensity across their discography.
Nightmare’s official studio albums include:
Waiting for the Twilight (1984) – debut album, rooted in traditional heavy metal
Power of the Universe (1985)
Cosmovision (2001)
Silent Room (2003)
The Dominion Gate (2005)
Insurrection (2009)
The Burden of God (2012)
