23 track, three disc set from cult French metal act Nightmare featuring their first two full length studio albums, originally released on Ebony Records, and a bonus disc of rare and unreleased material. CD 1 features their debut full length recording, 'Waiting For The Twilight', originally released in 1984, with four French language bonus tracks. CD 2 features the follow up 'Power Of The Universe', originally released in 1985, with six bonus live tracks. Both albums were originally released via cult NWOBHM label Ebony Records. CD 3 comprises of very early material specially curated by the band from their own archives, including completely unreleased tracks. Nightmare formed in 1979 in Grenoble, France, influenced by the burgeoning NWOBHM scene exploding across the Channel in England, and even supported Def Leppard at a huge show in Grenoble in 1983. The band have continued to release music and tour over the years, and in June 2024 issued a brand-new studio album, their 12th, via AFM Records. 2024 also sees the 40th anniversary of 'Waiting For The Twilight' - the band will celebrate this milestone with a live show in Grenoble on October 18th, which will feature two sets, one from the current line up, and one featuring former members of the band to bring the history of this enduring metal institution full circle. This release is complemented with the addition of liner notes featuring exclusive new interviews with the band, and includes rare photos from the band's own archive.
