The Nightmares announce new album, Fire In Heaven

The Nightmares have announced their second album, Fire In Heaven.

The LP – the follow-up to last year’s debut, Séance – is due out on February 14 via Venn Records, with its title “taken from a quote from Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke – who was speaking glowingly of the sound produced by the late great guitarist Kevin ‘Geordie’ Walker,” say the quintet. “The quote really resonated with us as a band and we felt it perfectly captured the mood of the new songs. This record explores the curiosity between the struggles of human existence on Earth, and the weight of what else might be out there in the wider universe…”

To celebrate the announcement, The Nightmares have also unveiled new single Dead Roses, which vocalist/guitarist Adam Parslow describes as “a song that explores how a single thought or observation can trigger a deep-set emotional reaction inside one’s self”.

“How something as trivial as a discarded rose on the ground can transport you back to a time in your life when something traumatic happened to you,” Adam explains. “Life can sometimes lead us into a false sense of emotional security – only to strike us down like a dagger in the night when we least expect it… Dead Roses is a song that explores those emotions, anxieties and fears.”
