'Nightmare World' is an underground British power metal band from Birmingham.

Describing an event that occurred in 65 BCE, the ancient historian Strabo explains how allies of Mithridates VI of Pontus the Poisoner King called the Heptacomitae used mad honey to wipe out a Roman column. 

Produced by bees that feed on the nectar of a particular species of rhododendron, the honey contains high concentrations of a class of neurotoxins called grayanotoxins.

Capable of triggering hallucinations, loss of coordination, and nausea in small doses, larger quantities of the substance can produce serious heart complications. 

According to Strabo, the Heptacomitae placed bowls of mad honey in the path of the advancing Romans, “and then, when the soldiers drank the mixture and lost their senses, they attacked them and easily disposed of them.”
