Band: Nightfall

Country: Greece
Genre: Blackened death metal
Full length: At Night We Prey
Format: Digital, CD, LP
Label: Season Of Mist
Release date: March 5, 2021
Being my AOTY when it first came out listening to it today it still holds up to all the wonder and psychological pleasure it has brought me. Kings of the Mediterranean scene in Greece, Nightfall holds a special place in my heart and soul. Their perfectly placed tracks under great timing reveal horrors only found in the times of Ancient Greece. With an incredible amount of detail and layers left for the imagination you truly get a sense of Ethimis Karadimas battle with depression here. It is a good outlet to have and all the deranged screaming from him is proof that depression can be a driving force in one’s art. Their art consists of many things, and keeps your attention though out.
To the dreadful drums of Bernardo to the guitar shredding excellence of Mike & Kostas they never fail to miss a beat. I would have to say my favorite track on this album is Temenos. All in all the whole album continues to shine as time goes on. Never to be forgotten in my own mind and always fresh upon replay with the value there. With people of darkness and people of doom, at night we prey under the full moon! –Daniel Ryan
