Look, you probably heard a lot of dissonant death metal by now. Here's why you should still give Nightmarer its dues.

Some of the more solid dissonant DM I've heard in recent years. Doesn't quite reach the heights of Ulcerate's work for example, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

Maybe I'm a little biased because, well, Keith Merrow.

Yeap, this a great dissodeath album. I don't known if they use a 7-string guitar but sounds really heavy. I really like that they don't use cavernous vocals.

Pretty solid disso/tech death album, similar to Ulcerate I guess, although, I'm not blown away by it personally.

Agreed. Some tracks are played with Ulcerate-esque technical level of musicianship. Those who love the musical combination of dissonance and brutality would appreciate Nightmarer's effort. But some tracks like 'Taufbefehl' is a bit simple in structure to be tagged as 'technical' in my opinion.

As others have said, lots of deliciously dissonant and brutal moments on this album. There were some crushingly-heavy riffs at times that I really enjoyed. Some tracks left me wanting more however so overall, this doesn't quite make it to 8 status for me.
