Description

FRETERNIA: A Nightmare Story

Second album from this acclaimed Swedish band. A Nightmare Story  is a concept album which will carry you to a new musical dimension. Songs based in
heavy riffs, clean voices and powerful choirs. The five Swedes have managed to find an excellent balance between catchiness, crunchy guitars, keyboards, gripping melodies and well-dosed choirs, everything forged together into a damn good package by the excellent production of Studio Underground, where already TERROR 2000, ZONATA and STEEL ATTACK had recorded their last
albums. In the midst of the countless clones and at best mediocre copies, FRETERNIA manage to bring in some fresh wind still, the guitars have considerably more crunch than many other bands of their style. Singer Pasi Humppi has a quite original voice and style that is not far away from being a trademark and the keyboards are only used to support the band-sound. The songs  all are dynamic, energetic and driving and offer enough variety to please every Power Metal-fan out there, who can see beyond the usual cliches. “”Arrival””, “”Shadowdancers”” or “”Battle Of Minds””, offer very good Power Metal songs.

Grimbor The Great

The dream keeps coming back
So clear but still confused
and It really makes no sense
Somebody tries to tell
About a world of dreams
And the gate that leads to this

The answer is hidden,exploring the maze of my mind
Finding my way, so frightened of what I might find
Now, the gate is open wide

Voices cry, beware you may not find the way out
You enter the world of Grimbor the great
“”You will find that dreams might be so real you can die
this is the work of Grimbor the great.””

This place so strange, fading lights
I cannnot tell if it?s day or night
No signs of life, I?m all alone
But something here reminds me of home

It feels like I?ve been here before

Lost inside a world of dreams
Visions of the reality
How could this be it makes no sense
I am here but am I awake?

This place so strange to me
Feels like someone?s watching me
My dream is becoming reality
Could I be the one, am I strong enough
To face the truth of my destiny?

The answer is hidden,exploring the maze of my mind
Finding my way, so frightened of what I might find
Now, the gate is open wide

Voices cry, beware you may not find the way out
You enter the world of Grimbor the great
“”You will find that dreams might be so real you can die
this is the work of Grimbor the great.””

Voices cry, beware you may not find the way out
You enter the world of Grimbor the great
“”You will find that dreams might be so real you can die
this is the work of Grimbor the great.””

Intro: Confused and afraid he finds himself standing in a huge corridor with
a countless number of portals on both sides. After a while when his eyes get
used to the feeble light that reigns within this space he can see, to his
surprise that it seems like if the portals are hanging in the air. All
around him stars are shining, and a bit away it looks like a path is
winding, steady leading up, up, up…After a moment of hesitation he decides
to follow the path and with trembling legs he begins to walk. As he
approaches the first doors, suddenly a voice can be
heard.
