Nightmarer
Nightmarer is an international death metal outfit formed in 2013, built around German guitarist Simon Hawemann (War From a Harlots Mouth), American vocalist John Collet (ex-Gigan), and drummer Paul Seidel, who concurrently performs with The Ocean. Their debut full-length Cacophony of Terror (2018) marked an entry into the dissonant, technically demanding end of death metal, and was followed by Deformity Adrift (2023) on Season of Mist. The band draws from a lineage of avant-garde extreme metal, favoring dense harmonic dissonance over conventional technicality.
