Nightmares of The Sun
Based out of Sydney, Australia, Nightmares of The Sun is the instrumental prog-metal solo project of guitarist and composer Luke Maxwell Johnson
Guitars, Bass, Programming, and Production / Luke Maxwell Johnson
Nightmares of The Sun is a progressive, heavy yet melodic descent into cosmic dread. Fusing crushing riffs with haunting melody, the music unfolds like a retro sci-fi soundtrack... vast, cinematic, and unsettling.
From the debut album Sol to the new single Inertia, Nightmares of The Sun builds soundscapes where melody and menace collide, telling a story of the bizarre, the cosmic, and the terrifying.

‘Sol’ released JULY, 2019
Welcome... won’t you gather around... closer, come closer... for what you will hear is a story of the bizarre, the cosmic and the terrifying. As we begin our tale you are starting to have memories of places you’ve never been and people you’ve never met. Your days are feeling like a fog, a dream you can only just grasp.
This my friend is how you came to have NIGHTMARES OF THE SUN
Sol is available on all streaming platforms, but if you want to support the band more directly you can always buy from Bandcamp.
