NERGARD “Memorial For A Wish”

NERGARD
“Memorial For a Wish”
(Battlegod)
I must say that I’m not a big fan of these project kinds of records that we see every now and then starting with the Phenomenon project in the 80s. As I have not heard a single note from one of the Phenomenon albums or many other project albums I might not be the most positively inclined listener as I approach NERGARD. But who knows. This could turn out to be a really cool album full of great metal songs and with none of that project feel to it. I have nothing against metal albums that are bigger than life. I love almost every single Savatage albums. I get that kind of Savatage feeling listening to this album by NERGARD. This is pompous and epic in a way that I like. That the album features a bunch of names is of little interest to me. As long as the songs are great I’m happy. And happy is what I am after having heard this album. Anders Ekdahl
