I like how the music during the choir bits sounds vaguely like carnival music. It's so out of place, and it works so well because of that.


Out of curiosity, could you post the instrumental version of this song (or at least have it come with an album you wish to add to)? I love the lyrics, but the instruments in the background would make awesome background music to create a dark and creepy feeling for a villain or something.


This is so.... YES! I can feel that base through my entire body, vibrating.... Greatness...


wow this would be amazing as an opera! I can picture it!


You never cease to make my eardrums happy.


cant wait for the album. this song is really good


i love this song sooo much!  :) aw if only there was an instrumental >3<


a soul reaver fan? awesome! i loved the legacy of kain series. best story ever!


If you love spooky cathedral themes then you're gonna LOVE the one I have coming <3
And I officially love you for your favorite games are my favorite games. Medieval was the best game ever (part 1 not 2) and I even had a limited edition Raziel action figure! If only they'd have made a Sir Daniel Fortesque fig.


Still sounds awesome, lol, I'll have to look it up sometime.


Awesome song.

It´s so cute, if non-native-speakers try to write German. c:


"Schauen Sie hier"? That's pretty formal. Better would be "Schau hier".
And yes "Nachtmahr" is an archaic term for "nightmare" in German (the modern term would be "Albtraum").
That's quite good, it just has this whole "spooky cathedral" theme going on here and my favorite games have spooky cathedrals in them (Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain, Medievil etc.). Nice job.


A minor detail my good sir/madam I thank you for enjoying the song regardless.


Ooooh. Very nice. I love the music you do. If I had the programs, I'd try my hand at it. And Sham?  Shamrock is a gem man. I'm going with him to beautiful Las Vegas Nevada as of tomorrow!!! When he falls asleep I'm gonna hide stuff in his beard XD.


Not a lot of peeps are into Grimdark, and I understand them completely <3


Is there an instrumental version? Not that I don't like your voice Shammy, but I'm just in love with that creepy music box/harpsichord.

Holy @#$%^!!! That demonic voice at the end!


German is so damn cool, right up there with Norwegian and Finnish. The Germanic languages have that nice edge to them that lends itself well to story telling and music.
They just say that because you can't be as delicate when you say lovey-dovey lines like "Ich liebe dich" lol. Small price to pay in my opinion.


I love the Latin parts of this song (The Chorus)


Wouldn't that actually be rather appropriate here though, since this doesn't seem to be talking about a nightmare so much as The Nightmare, in this case Nightmare Moon, which certainly fits the idea of the horse of bad dreams type myth?


There's an instrumental in the album ^^
That celesta counterpoint is the same on all verses except for the 3/4 time choir breaks.
Hehe, I took one recording and had my way with it in Melodyne xD That's the same take 3 different times with pitch and overtone messing.


Could you make a Cthulhu version of this? :D


очень понравилось =)

i sadly only came accross you a few days ago. why is it sad? because your music is beautiful. keep it up, oh and you earned a sub C:


I love this song sooo much >3< PLZ make a instrumental! :D i love singing this song!


I have to agree with you on this, it needs to be sung by a female, possibly Miu? but yeah, it is a well done song over all. definite like for me, fave, not so much, but I will share the hell out of this!


And not many get to experience Psychgoth...


Is the download link still on its way?^^


Until the hero comes to save the day!
See there's: Lunar Coronation, (unreleased song), Der Nachtmahr, (unreleased song), Luna's Repentance, and then some other songs I haven't thought of yet to complete the series.


I really liked this song. A lot. And it's totally not because I'm biased towards Luna or anything. Nope... Nope...

Anyway, one thing I would like to say: I feel the lyrics would have been better sung by a female. Not knocking the singer, he was excellent, I just feel that the song would have... flowed? Flowed a bit better.

Also, is there a separate vector for that eclipse picture you used in the start of the video? So much do want with that one.


Album release???? I shall be saving then!


This is beautiful, but air raid sirens make me have panic attacks.
;-;


I assure you miss/sir that I most certainly did not use the Google Translate. "Die Nachtmahr" rolled off my tongue easier than 'Der Nachtmahr"
And plus it not my fault Germans have the coolest language ever >.>


You guys should actually get a girl to sing this. Nothing against the singer himself, but it would sound a lot better if a girl sung this.

Great song anyways~

~Raxel~


I'm not sure why, but I this kinda reminds me of Luna's Repentance.


this feels like a song for luna sang by Discord


Save your money for my upcoming album release :3


great song,
but shouldn't it be "Der Nachtmahr"?


I know the word is "Alptraum" but I got the word/name "Nachtmahr" off of the German Industrial/EBM artist of that name. I just knew it meant nightmare because they look so similar and it has "nacht" in it lol.
But see! Only Europeans have cool things like that! gah, not fair sometimes >.>


Can you believe I forgot what they mean? Lol, I just popped something into Google translate and BAM, Latin Celestia lyrics.


AH! MUST GET THIS ON MP3 PLAYER!

Crap. No dl link. TT^TT


HAHAHA thanks.
But you know that we don't use that word in regular conversations, right?
And nachtmahr doesn't really mean nightmare either, the correct German word would be alptraum.
Google Translate is a dirty liar :\.
A nachtmahr is a legitimate mythological creature, who makes your worst dream come true, or something like that.


Sadly not many people do.
If the topic German comes up on the Internet I always see negative responses, to put it nicely.
There are some exceptions, like the MLP related parts of the Internet.
Maybe it's due to the fact that these people still associate German with...."the dark times of Germany" and not much else.
Or maybe it's because nobody really likes to defend it.
Even most Germans hate the German synchronizations of almost everything, so why should we defend the German language?


O_O I love the music in the background. It's almost, threatening!


Miu is impossible to reach and maintain said communication for long. Which is a shame since she is the only Brony coloratura soprano.
I always wanted a male voice for this though, not enough popular music is written for baritones or basses anymore and they are my brethren lol. Along with you know, 80% of other men hehe


Though your voice is well placed. A females voice would fit more appropriatly.


would u be amazed if i said i still have that game and a PS1 to run it on?
...because i do, and its still a fun game! (and team buddies)


No. It is referring to Nightmare Moon and not the literal Nightmare. Since Nightmare Moon is female it would be Die.


Is it? :3
Then this song will drop you /watch?v=AQqYfrdl3O4
You can see how much I tried to go for this style <3
Without shamelessly ripping it off of course.


Don't blame yourself for that.
Even most Germans can't speak "proper" German.
Btw it's nice to hear that you think German is cool, not many people think that way.


Shouldn't the title say "die Nachtmahre" like in the opening of the vid? Cool song anyway.


I figured its grammatical gender would have changed when it was used as a name rather than a noun Sorry for the mistake. It has been a while since I last spoken German.


Lol, well I can tell you it was certainly not sung by Discord.


But the article refers to the gender of the word, not it's meaning, and in german nachtmahr is male, thus "der"
i understand the meaning, but the grammatical error bugs me


What's wrong with Shamrock's voice? He IS a trained singer, he was in a men's choir as a bass.


It had to be for a Baritone range sorry. I'm just so sick of people glorifying tenors in popular music these days. Plus I felt that a male voice would have more of an aggressive feel to it. Granted, Shammy is not the most aggressive singer ever but he does work quickly <3.


@ronhin 375 Well everything I have is either public or unlisted, nothing is privated anymore.

+LaRaikaa rilly though I've missed your music, I found myself looking for it and being confused when I don't find it.


Dea lunae
Sunt amare
Ne Umbra
Capte corde

German translation :

Göttin des Mondes
sei geliebt
damit nicht der Schatten
das herz fängt

English translation:

God of the moon
be loved
that the shadow wont
catch you heart

both Translation are not perfect translated cuz Latin sucks ^^


goddess of the moon
are bitter
no shadow
taken heart


@psychgoth Es würde vielleicht besser klingen wenn du "SCHAUT IN DIE BESCHREIBUNG" schreiben würdest, als "SCHAUEN SIE HIER". Letzteres klingt doch ein wenig aufgesetzt.

Of course its just a tip. If you wanna change it is ur business :)


You just wanted to try the boob thing huh? lol


No trolls...  Continue with the good work, now the haters are getting the mensage


Bass, not base... Gah damn lack of edit option


Im throwing money at my screen to make a download appear....but its not working!


damn germans. you crazy :p
verdammt Deutschen. du verrückt :p

some thick, juicy, crunchy, sweet, tangy, buttery, fragrant, succulent and luscious cheese burger.


Well...ALL of Europe's history is very very very bloody and war ridden. Not just the German providences and the tribes that came before them. Seriously, what is it with you Europeans lol? Of course I kid, but yeah Germans shouldn't be heckled for "that one time" anymore. It was 80 years ago for f**k's sake!
You should defend it because how many languages can take a boring word like "nightmare" and remake it as "nachtmahr"? Dat h before the r is HNNNNG
