NIGHTBORN
Unrelenting Thrash Metal
Formed in 2012, NIGHTBORN focuses on producing melodic thrash metal in the veins of old school sound blended with the style of revival scene. The band's both releases, "Skyeless" and "Unhuman" were mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. Nightborn will be releasing three music videos this Summer, to familiarize and acquaint listeners with their sound. The aim is to prepare the audiences for the September '24 release of their upcoming EP titled "Hammer of the Heretic" featuring all brand new material. The EP will be featuring Simon McKay (Agonist) on drums, Hubert Wiecek (Ex-Decapitated, Dieth) on the bass and producer Pavel Daniels will be on the edits, mixing and mastering duties.

About
Initially started as a one-man band, Nightborn and all its music was created by Arda K. The main musical inspiration came from the old school thrash scene and a variety of other genres. The aim from the start has been to ignite the lost thrash scene in Sweden.
"Skyless" is the first step in this journey.
The album was composed, arranged, recorded and mixed by Nightborn throughout 2016 and 2017. The recording process was so much fun but also painful at times. The final touches, additional mixing, engineering and mastering was done by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden - known for its workd with bands such as Kreator, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity and Sepultura.. The cover artwork was done by Eliran Kantor and additional artwork was done by Maximillian Mende.
Following Nightborn’s first album “Skyless”, the 2022 album, “Unhuman” was recorded, mixed and mastered at Fascination Street Studios as well and the album consists of fast, unrelenting thrash metal for the fans of great bands such as Slayer, Testament, Kreator, Sepultura and Exodus with additional dark melodic elements. The whole recording process took a little over two years. All songs were arranged, written, composed and performed by the frontman Arda K. The drum parts were performed by Krimh of Septic Flesh and Decapitated and Behemoth and additional guitar edits were done by Gokalp Ergen, the vocalist of Mezarkabul. Artwork for the album was made by CG Sister and Vo1dgazer.
The inspiration for both albums came from our journeys into the dark depths of the human psyche and the acceptance of evil within everyone. Each song tries to capture in its own unique way different types of darkness that we all have inside.
