Glitchy. Groovy. Completely off its head — welcome to the chaos. 😵💫🤘
Alright butt… you ever feel like your brain’s got 47 tabs open, music blasting, and one of them is definitely cursed? Yeah — that’s Nightmare Tripping. 😈💥
Don Broco have never played it safe, and here they’ve absolutely launched themselves into the deep end with genre-bending madness, filthy grooves, and hooks that sneak up and smack you.
This ain’t just an album…
It’s a full-on sonic fever dream.

Trying to pin this album down is like trying to mosh in quicksand. Good luck. 😅
- 🎸 Riffs: Funky, chunky, sometimes downright weird
- 🥁 Drums: Tight but unpredictable — keeps you guessing
- 🎤 Vocals: Swagger, attitude, and full-on personality
- 🎛️ Production: Slick, glitchy, and packed with layers
It jumps from heavy to funky to electronic to “what the hell was that?” — and somehow… it works.

🎸 THE VERDICT – TOO WEIRD OR JUST RIGHT?
Short answer?
Depends how much chaos you can handle, mun. 😏🔥
If you like your rock safe and predictable — maybe steer clear.
If you want something fresh, wild, and completely off the rails… this is right up your street.

🍺 FINAL THOUGHTS
This album shouldn’t work.
It breaks rules, jumps genres, and does whatever it wants…
And somehow — that’s exactly why it slaps. 😅
Stick it on loud, embrace the madness, and let it mess with your head a bit…
Because this one?
It doesn’t follow the rules… it rewrites them mid-song. 🤘😈🔥
Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
