The brainchild of bass player David Lefrançois, NIGHTRIDE was born as a project in 2018. Drummer Rusty James, followed by guitarists John Lemoine and Giorgio Ruscelli, joined the ride in 2019. However it will be 2021 before the line-up is complete, with the arrival of singer Renaud Dechamps. 

You needn't look too far to find out about the influences of the band : the boys have been lulled with the 80's British Heavy-Metal such as Iron Maiden, Saxon, Dio, Judas Priest...

Encouraged and supported by their fans, NIGHTRIDE took a crucial step in Septembre 2024 with the release of their first studio album 'Wherever Leads The Ride'. 

NIGHTRIDE's setlist is definitely cut out for the stage, and every show is an unsparing, guts-out performance. Live venues of the Liège area were their first playgrounds but the band is still willing to reach out to other and new places, such as Flanders where NIGHTRIDE opened two nights in a row for Paul Di'Anno (Club Hell - Diest).
