Nightmares In The Waking State - Part Ii

Solution .45 formed in late 2007 as a conceptual entity, but never blossomed into fruition until fall 2008, when Christian ?vestam (Unmoored, Miseration, Torchbearer, ex- Scar Symmetry), Jani Stefanovic (Miseration, Essence Of Sorrow), Anders Edlund (ex-Solar Dawn), Rolf Pilve (Stratovarius, Essence Of Sorrow), Tom Gardiner (Essence Of Sorrow, ex- Mors Principium Est), and Mikko Harkin (ex-Sonata Arctica, Kotipelto) recorded an 8-track demo with Thomas 'Plec' Johansson (Scar Symmetry, Watain) handling production duties. In late 2011, SOLUTION .45 were invited to play the legendary ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The band flew over to the USA to play its first show ever in September 2012 some had flown in from as far as Japan just to see the performance. Just like the predecessor, 'Nightmares In The Waking State - Part II' is again a lesson in modern metal taught by the same people that helped write the book on the genre: crushing mammoth riffs, melancholic passages, infectious hooks, and blistering solos.
