With Mikael Akerfeldt no longer on vocal duties, it was the chance for another metal legend to step in, in the shape of Hypocrisy's Peter Tägtgren and with Dan Swanö now joining Anders Nyström on guitars, this was also the \u003cstrong\u003eBloodbath\u003c\/strong\u003e debut of Opeth's drummer extraordinaire, Martin Axenrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered quite an evolution or even departure from their debut, \u003cem\u003eNightmares Made Flesh\u003c\/em\u003e expanded on the melodic and technical elements and formed an album more complex in its scope, tempo and rhythmic approach and less a pure dedication to the old school scene. The album also utilised some influences more in line with metal from further afield compared to previous releases, whilst still firmly marking their own identity with hook-filled anthems such as fan-favourite, \"\u003cem\u003eEaten\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNightmares Made Flesh\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded and mixed at Fascination Street Studios, with production duties carried out by Jens Bogren. This edition is presented on black vinyl, including the original cover courtesy of renowned artist Wes Benscoter (Autopsy, Slayer).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceville","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50489291145547,"sku":"1159354","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50489291342155,"sku":"1159355","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d0b00d5b-2ac0-44f8-8df4-83e27447efbe_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727641679","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/nightmares-made-flesh","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
