Nightmare Omen is a new band led by vocalist Johan Lindstand, best known as the singer for Swedish death / thrash metal band, The Crown.
“‘Moonlight Funeral’ – This one holds a special place in the history of Nightmare Omen. It’s the very first song we ever wrote, dating all the way back to early 2025. After nearly two years, it feels damn good to finally share it with you all. ‘Moonlight Funeral’ will be our final release of 2026. After that, we’ll turn our attention to 2027 and start laying the groundwork for our first full-length album. There’s plenty more to come!” Watch the official lyric video here.
Check out the previous three singles from Nightmare Omen – “The Serpent’s Kiss” (official lyric video), “Final Breath” (official visualizer) and “Killstrike” (official video).
“It’s been an incredible year building Nightmare Omen from the ground up, and we’re extremely proud of how far we’ve come in such a short time. Our goal for 2026 was to take things step by step, establish the band, build our presence and introduce ourselves through four carefully chosen singles. We felt this was the right approach giving you all the opportunity to get to know Nightmare Omen, our sound and what we’re all about before eventually taking the next big step towards a full-length album. All four singles, including ‘Moonlight Funeral’, represent an important part of this journey.”
“I started this band early 2025, picking up my guitar for the first time in 15 years,” says Lindstrand. “I started to write songs with the vision that I wanted to do something outside of The Crown. Something that could be built from scratch to get that special feeling I had 20-30 years ago when I had that hungry intention of going all in like a bulldozer.”
