Norwegian gothic doom metal sensations Evig Natt are thrilled to announce their signing with WormHoleDeath Records for the release of their upcoming album, Vaketimen. This exciting collaboration marks a significant milestone in the band's journey, promising a new chapter of powerful music and captivating performances.
"We're incredibly excited to partner with WormHoleDeath Records", states the band. "Their extensive distribution network and deep connections within the metal scene make them the ideal partner for Evig Natt as we embark on this new chapter."
Evig Natt's music is aggressive but subtle, noisy yet beautiful, a maelstrom of symphonic darkness that could only be described as orchestral gothic doom metal. From the unholy metal grounds of Karmøy, west Norway, this band follows in the footsteps of Einherjer and Enslaved, featuring ex-band members of both.
Evig Natt started as a studio project of vocalist Kirsten Jørgensen and bassist Stein Sund in 2003. Soon after that, Evig Natt recruited drummer Harald Magne Revheim. In 2006, Evig Natt signed with Omvina Records and released its highly acclaimed debut album, I Am Silence, in early 2007. The band added Oskar Naley on vocals, Ruben Osnes, and Arne Marton Tangjerd on guitars for the recording of its darker and heavier second offering. After signing with Black Bards in 2009, Darkland was released to raving reviews in April 2010. Evig Natt released its third, self-titled album in March 2016, and off the back of that, toured countries such as Belgium and Japan.
Evig Natt's sound is unique, blending everything from progressive metal to black metal and incorporating inspiration from bands like Anathema, My Dying Bride, Swallow The Sun, and The Provenance.
To celebrate its signing with WormHoleDeath, the band unveiled its first single and a stunning accompanying video, "Når Lyset Svikte". Translated "When the Light Fails", the track delves into the depths of despair, exploring the emotions of surrendering to darkness when the will to fight fades. The song is in Evig Natt's native Norwegian dialect, specifically on its home island of Karmøy. Vocalist Kirsten Jørgensen feels a deep connection to her lyrics in this dialect, making them more direct and emotionally potent.
The video for "Når Lyset Svikte" depicts the terrifying experience of sleep paralysis, where the sufferer may experience hallucinations upon waking or falling asleep. The visuals capture the sheer terror of this phenomenon. The concept was brought to life by the immensely talented filmmaker Thomas Mortveit (Shady Shades) and his incredible crew, with support from Filmkraft AS. Link
