SCORE OF NIGHTMARES

Recorded at Silver Wings Studio in Montreal, Canada, SCORE OF NIGHTMARES explores deeply theatrical themes combined with everything  fans love about metal, such as face-melting guitar solos and blast beats galore. Epic orchestrations include a unique arrangement composed by orchestral pianist, Talisa Blackman in “Echoes” as well as the intricate melodic hooks that fans have come to expect from Operus.
SCORE OF NIGHTMARES boasts an element of darkness, magnificence and mystery that is visually portrayed by the cover art made by Drake Mefestta Designs. Every song is a new scene, a different adventure.
“The recording process was very different, compared to Cenotaph,” explains bassist Wojtek Sokolowski, “the songs off Cenotaph were worked and reworked time and time again. Going into the studio we knew exactly what and how we were going to record. With SCORE OF NIGHTMARES, although we spent time on the pre-production, there was quite a lot of naturally occurring creativity flowing in the studio as the songs were still somewhat new to us. It made it really exciting for us because we didn’t know exactly how the songs would sound until we had the final in hand.”
