The Australian metal music has a new frontliner: Knightmare - Epic metal to the extreme!

The current generation of metal Australia has to offer is on the verge of an evolution in extreme heavy metal music from a group of Melbourne head-bangers called Knightmare - and we're here to rock Australia and the rest of the world with our new lineup and a new album.

With a love for crafting lasting metal songs and putting on an explosive stage show, exciting metal fans on a global scale through our intense performances. Knightmare rock in all ways extreme, but while we take every aspect of our music and performances to the extreme, Knightmare is not a group of death-worshiping, demonic kings of heavy metal music. We are just a bunch of fun-loving, good guys who are on the same page when it comes to music - and our choice of heavy metal. The cliche gods of death that rocked the earth many decades ago have given way to a new batch of metalic enthusiasts that are as professional as they are simply awesome, Knightmare have now stepped up to the stage. We aim to be among the very best in the Australian heavy metal genre's, becoming the band that represents over all Australian heavy metal to the world.

Knightmare's Australian metal music has a strong heavy metal core with dominant thrash, power and old school metal elements influenced by bands like Megadeth, Blind Guardian, and Iced Earth, as well as other bands and artists that have made an impact on Knightmare's band members. At the same time, our metal music is a complex mix with many layers upon layers of vocals, guitars, and other instruments. It is a heavy metal music mesh infused with nuances and influences that make up the unique Knightmare metal sound. The in-depth mix complements the song lyrics, crafted with words that easily connect with heavy metal rockers the world over. It always takes a lot of time to put our music together; with our new album "In Death's Shadow" it took close to a year just to mix! This should be an indication on how far the band takes things to the extreme, and how far they intend to go to reach out to the fans of metal world wide. We go at everything with 200%, giving every facet of our performance its due level of the Knightmare metal extreme.

Knightmare is composed of core members MICKoWAR and Luke Besley, and the new lineup includes guitarist Jim Munro and bassist Matt MaConahey on bass.
