DESCRIPTION:
Performing at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday March 21, 2014.

A long time ago in a basement in Cary, North Carolina, three guys, Anthony Micale, Jared Mountz and Reid Rogers began writing and playing music. They got their first guitars at the tender age of 13.

After three miserable years of failed attempts of forming a band, former guitar player of Hayvyn, Justin Travis joined the band as their new drummer.

The band began playing their favorite metal music; the likes of Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne and Alice in Chains. They began writing new songs, including "What Its Worth".

After a few small shows, they found themselves still in the basement. Then along came a spider. Well, not a spider. Guitarist Brian Tisdale whom added a punk influence and steady picking hand. Tisdale brought the discipline and experience the other four lacked.

Relocating their equipment to Travis's garage in Raleigh, NC, they played a few more shows. Tired of playing cover music, Knightmare began writing their own material. On a sunny afternoon, Micale and Rogers wrote "The Last Revelation". Once the song was complete, an avalanche of ideas and inspiration transformed Knightmare to what it came to be. Years of practice, hard work, trial and error, and intense dedication to their dreams, Knightmare finally got it right. The rest fell into place. Knightmare is ready to melt your face and take you on an epic journey into the good metal.

American Power Metal. What is that you ask? Well ladies and gentlemen, that's Knightmare. Five good ol' Carolina boys united to give Raleigh and the world their spin on a classic, time tested and honored sound. From the get go, storming out of the gates, Knightmare is created to rock your mind, giving you a blast from the past with a good touch of pioneering sounds. Live shows are full of energy and passion for music. Slamming drums, killer bass and of course, the triple axe attack. This act you will not forget. Raise the banner and smash down the gates! Bringing back the days of heavy metal.

Drummer Justin Travis and guitarist Brian Tisdale has left the band. Peter Lemieux from Widow is Knightmare's replacement on drums.
