It won't grab you.......2005-08-01

This CD is a good metal release, but it's a little too typical for me. The kickoff song, album-titled "Nailwork", wasn't what I had expected from the band at all. This song is way too catchy, and it sounds like something straight off of the radio. Before I hit the stop button, as boring as that song was, the second track, "Blades to Laughter" halted my thoughts of using this CD as a frisbee. There were no commercial style breakdowns, no singalongs, and it was just short, straight and to the point.
Overall, yes, there are a whole bunch of singalong choruses, typical I-wannabee-swedish guitar solos, and a lot of other annoyances, but in the end, it's not all that bad of a CD. Very good drum work and screams... the lyrics lack so much, leaving this CD bare. It won't grab you, or you may even hate it, but I give it 3 stars...

LACKS OVERALL.......2003-08-13

Night In Gales plays Melodic Death Metal similiar to Dark Tranquillity . Which is welcomed by me,the problem is after hearing the melodic mixed with bland clean vocals,is a little to commerical for me, I would say skip Nailwork and spend your money on Night On Gales (Towards The Twilight)and you will understand me when I say Night In Gales has put in the most effort on Towards The Twilight.

Heavy, varied, and mature melodic metal.......2001-05-17

NIGHT IN GALES has grown exponentially with each album. This band is more or less in the AT THE GATES / DARK TRANQUILLITY / IN FLAMES vein, but they've grown in their own direction. They meld rockin' riffs and brutal melodic metal into a cohesive package. Neck snapping tempo shifts abound. The vocalist has added some serious range to his repertoire. He has one of the most throat shredding deathblack growls in the business, and has added a clean vocal style that is thrown into the mix perfectly. Interesting vocal contrast. I hope they maintain this dynamic on future albums. Another highlight for me is the unique lyrical style that this band has developed. A curious use of malevolent sounding compound words and an abstract poetic quality to the lyrics at large makes this an album to pay attention to on many levels; words and music both.

The only weak spot (and it isn't too bad a weakness) is the cover of Allanah Myles' "Black Velvet." It doesn't detract too much (the song is all but unrecognizable) but I would've preferred an original NIGHT IN GALES tune to this puzzling choice.

Standout tracks are: "Nailwork" "All Scissors Smile" "How to Eat a Scythe"

night in gales hits the nail on the head with this one.......2001-03-28

night in gales hammers home a brutal 45 minute at the gates style attack with no letup

One of the best of 2000.......2000-12-14

Without a doubt Night in Gales stepped it up big time on their third release, "Nailwork". Myself being a fan of their previous works, Thunderbeast and Towards the Twilight, I was very anxious to hear their latest. Much to my surprise NIG have grown considerably in a short span. From opener, "Nailwork", which is arguably their finest track to date, clean vocals are prevalent as well as a bluesy, melodic power groove. The speed of their earlier releases is still there but the song structure is tighter and the hooks are hookier. Without a doubt if "How to a Eat a Scythe" doesn't get you swinging your head, maybe you should check out the new Limp Biskit.

Indians?.......2005-08-07

I loved this CD up until the last track - Indians. It ruined every other song off of the CD when I heard track 12. The band talks about how dumb you are to purchase the CD, and how they're really american, not german. They laugh about how much money they will make off the CD, and it's just plain old dumb. I give it one star.
