Fatal Nightmare

Welcome to the Fatal Nightmare SoundClick Page

You are on the Fatal Nightmares Patreon Page. This is the one man project, that tells a horror stories in the industrial metal genre.

My story begins back in 2005. I have always loved heavy music and had a desire to make it. At first I wrote a lot of poetry. At that time it was very fashionable to write about unrequited love and suicide. Emo stuff. Originally my project was called Fatal Novela. I can't remember at what point I renamed it to Fatal Nightmare, but I made the music as Fatal Nightmare.

I made the first tracks using the Nero program. I don’t remember its name. My first pseudo-album called "Before One Minute To Death" was dated in 2007. At that time, I liked my music. I had no knowledge of mixing and mastering. I just did it for me. Of all the tracks, only one remained. And then, most likely, it is lost due to the fact that the hard drive has crashed, and it costs a lot of money to restore it.

I studied at the naval school and found out that tone of my classmate was making his own music too. Then I found out the Fruity Loops Studio. The program that I still use. A sound was better than in the program from Nero of course.

My first musical instruments were standard VST like slayer (guitar), boobass, fpc (drums) and regular synth plugins. The album was released in 2008. Almost all tracks were in Russian. Friends said that it sounds cool.

One of the forums where I shared my work I was advised to change the VST guitar and drums. So I entered to the next chapter. In 2012-2013 I made a collection of two albums called "Alpha" and "Omega". After that there was a great lull. Some developments were made, but not released.

In 2017 I bought an Epiphone GT guitar. It sounds so metal. I still use it for records. Then I started writing the next album called "Path Of The Death" , which was considered my debut for a while, because it was on platforms like SoundCloud and BandCamp. Since I had some recorded projects with VST guitar, I just re-recorded the guitar and added vocals.

In 2019, the next album, "Eclipse", was released. I have started use an equalizers for the new sounds. It doesn't sound very good now, but not bad either.

I kept learning to process my music and constantly change my sound.

In 2020 2 mini-albums "Cage" and "Pandemic" were released. "Cage" was instrumental since I decided not to write vocals after "Eclipse". I don't like it and I didn't know how to put my vocals into the mix to sound good. But then there was the worlds pandemic.

The Pandemic album consisted of 3 remakes from Alpha and a remake from Eclipse, a vocal track Cage and a couple of instrumental tracks. The sound was seriously different from the Eclipse. I gradually learned to play guitar, mix and master. Also, it was on this album that I started adding effects to my vocals. There were a lot of positive reviews on soundcloud.

Here we come to 2021. Spotify is finally available in my country. And I decided to share my creativity across all music platforms like spotify, itunes, youtube music and so on. I decided to delete everything that I had written down in advance. Path of the Death and Eclipse can still be found on torrents. The earlier one can be found partially.

The "Pandemic" album consisted of 3 remakes from "Alpha" and a remake from "Eclipse", a vocal track "Cage" and a couple of instrumental tracks. The sound was seriously different from "Eclipse". I gradually learned to play the guitar, mixing and mastering stuff. Also, this is the first album where I started to add effects on my vocals. There were a lot of positive reviews on SoundCloud.

Here we come to 2021. Spotify is available in my country finally. And I decided to share my creativity across all music platforms like Spotify, iTunes, YouTube Music, etc. I decided to delete everything I recorded before. "Path Of The Death" and "Eclipse" still can be found on torrents. The earlier records can be found partially.

Thanks to the advice of an artist named I Ya Toyah, I submitted my debut album "Fatal Nightmare" via Amuse. It consists almost entirely of tracks from "Pandemic", one instrumental track from "Eclipse" and the title track from "Path Of The Death" with a demo prefix. Then the single "Siren" came out.

About Image style. I really love face masks. My favorite characters are Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers. When I was a teenager, I like to watch a wrestling. My favorite wrestler was Kane. Especially when he was wearing a mask. For photos I made a mask by a piece of paper. I had three characters on the very first album named Angel #15, Clown and The Truck Driver. It was weird shit. I was already listening to SlipKnot then. That's why I drew Clowns and The Truck Drivers masks the same as Shawn Crahans and Chris" Fehns masks.

In 2015 I found a Kanes mask in Walmart. I still use this mask. It little repainted, as you can see in the music video S I R E N. For guitarist I made a leather mask by myself. It looks creepy. Especially when I paint a smile on it.

In 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. This was a push to create the new material. Hate Eruption is song about this hypocrite war that no one wants to stop. In 8th of November it will be available.
