With a misleading title to say theleast, Nightrage’s second album, Descent into Chaos, finds theGreco-Swedish death metal outfit delivering a highly controlled —if very diverse — breadth of material. Though for the most partrooted in the classic melodic death metal perfected by Swedishgreats In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and vocalist Thomas Lindberg’sown seminal former band, At the Gates (see “Phantasma,” “JubilantCry,” “Reality vs. Truth,” etc.), Nightrage also dabble inneo-thrash velocity (“Being Nothing,” “Omen”) of the sort espousedby the Haunted or the Crown (also briefly featuring Lindberg), aswell as semi-vintage, midpaced metal styles (“Poems,” “SilentSolitude”) championed by some of Greek guitarists Gus G. and MariosIliopoulos’ other band exploits. These of course included powermetal — a format no one would expect Lindberg to ever touch, butwhich remarkably lends a few minute traces of hyper-melody andfleet-fingered guitar solos to some of these tracks, most notableamong them being the surprisingly accessible “Frozen,” which takesthese nuances a step further by adding a quasi-operatic chorussection behind Lindberg’s reliably livid screaming. Then again, hemakes himself scarce when it comes to the metallic ballad “Solus,”preferring to let it be an instrumental rather than riskinvolvement. Anyway, the sum of all these sonic components, not tomention these veteran musicians’ various contributions from theirrespective areas of expertise, is a stellar and eclectic deathmetal album, one that might have come off as unfocused were it notfor Nightrage’s side-project status and overriding songwritingprowess. This is, of course, reason enough to give Descent intoChaos a spin, but Lindberg loyalists should also be curious to hearhim tackling some of the most commercially conscious material ofhis career.
