Encrypted is the fourteenth full-length album from the French heavy metal band Nightmare.

With Encrypted the French heavy metalers Nightmare are unbowed, unbreakable and inspired and ready to take their music to a whole new level.

When powerhouse vocalist Barbara Mogore joined after 2 years, it marked a new era for Nighmare. Barbara helped Nighmare transcend into new dimensions and refine their sound. Nighmare are now ready to unleash their brand new and fourteenth studio album, “Encrypted”, with the brilliant voice of Barbara unto the world.

The band's continued desire and passion to take their music to the next level is still alive!
As the band states: “…We have decided to move to new heights in terms of musical approach to make Encrypted our most ambitious album to date in terms of production, musical direction and achievement… You can find here some traditional power metal riffing in the trademark of NIGHTMARE but also extreme metal parts and some highlights even reaching melodic death metal… making Encrypted our most varied opus so far, beyond all boundaries and expectations…”

"Encrypted" was mixed and mastered in Simone Mularoni’s Domination Studio in Italy and is being lauded as Nightmare’s finest album to date. Already a classic.
