This is by far my favorite French band, again - you guessed it - from the golden period of the 80s.
Nightmare was formed back in 1979 and released their first demo in 1981. However, we had to wait until 1985 for their greatest work, which was named "Power of the Universe". This album is French Power Metal at its finest.
The entire album is worthy of listening, but a few songs manage to stand out above the rest. One such example is "Prowler in the Night" which you are listening to now.
Lineup at the time of release:
Jean-Marie Boix (R.I.P. 1999) Vocals
Nicolas De Dominicis Guitars
Jean Stripolli Guitars
Yves Campion Bass
Jo Amore Drums
Lyrics:
he's here like a prowler feeling himself to be the best
walking as a tracker in his stricky dress
he's here in the jungle going on his fate
on through the traps, lost in the shades
he only walks on, he's still alone
but he's waiting for his victim of the day
don't meet the tiger on his way, he's danger, he's the hunter
don't meet the tiger on his way, he's danger, he's the hunter
here comes his enemy, ready to the fight
he'll win for the glory 'til the end of the night
we're in the jungle, the place where we must hide
to survive 'cause he's born to be wild
he only walks on, he's maybe gone
so beware, you're his victim of the day
he's here like a prowler feeling himself to be the best
walking as a tracker in his stricky dress
he's here in the jungle going on his fate
on through the traps, lost in the shades
he only walks on, he's still alone
but he's waiting for his victim of the day
As always, enjoy and support the artists by buying their work!
