"Faded Dream' is pitch-perfect..." - Decibel Magazine

"...none yet have risen to the level of straight up Type O Negative worship that comes at the hands of the mysterious new act, Neon Nightmare." - Metal Injection

"a definite must-listen" - Metal Sucks

Born out of the elemental primordium contained in heavy metal’s working class roots, from the war-scarred industrial landscapes of Birmingham to the beat up bars and basements of Brooklyn, Neon Nightmare arrive like a ghost in the night to carry on the tradition.

A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it but unmistakable deadpan satirical strain runs through the debut LP, Faded Dream— out tomorrow on 20 Buck Spin [pre-order].  For all its genuine foreboding and confrontation with real depression, the album never loses itself in the mire or gives up on its predilection for thrill-seeking amusements and sanguine fascination. The sounds conjured have lived in many momentous forms throughout the decades of heavy metal history, and Neon Nightmare are here to continue the cycle.

Neon Nightmare comments, "I made an album.  Listen to it.  Or Don't."  Today, the artist has shared a music video for Faded Dream standout track "They Look Like Shadows", directed by Emmanuella Zachariou.  In the video, the man behind the project finally reveals his identity by making a cameo in the storyline— watch it below.

Faded Dream is a synthesis of emotional peaks and valleys and dark brooding atmosphere, evoking a longing angst for a past once colored by adolescent excitement and wonder. Utilizing a foundation of big riffs, crushing studio production immersed in technicolor fantasy and psychedelic ornamentation, plus a dramatic vocalist able to smoothly swing from a spooky gothic baritone to soaring heavy metal melodicism, Faded Dream is the crossroads where Doom, Psych, Shoegaze and Alternative Metal all intersect in a way not heard in years. 

Faded Dream is streaming in its entirety ahead of its November 1 release date— check it out on YouTube.
