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 was started as a studio project in 2003, by vocalist Kirsten Jørgensen and bassist Stein Sund. Soon after that, EVIG NATT recruited drummer Harald Magne Revheim.
In 2006 EVIG NATT signed with Omvina Records, and released their highly acclaimed debut album «I Am Silence» in early 2007.
EVIG NATT added Oskar Naley on vocals, Ruben Osnes, and Arne Marton Tangjerd on guitars for the recording of their darker and heavier second offering. After signing with Black Bards in 2009 “Darkland” was released to raving reviews in April 2010. This alliance saw EVIG NATT featured in national magazines worldwide, including Metal Hammer and Scream.
EVIG NATT released their third self-titled album «Evig Natt» on March 19th, 2016 and off the back of that got to tour countries such as Belgium and Japan.
EVIG NATT’s sound is unique, blending everything from progressive metal to black metal, and incorporates inspiration from bands like Anathema, My Dying Bride, Swallow The Sun, and The Provenance. This is a band to keep an eye out for!
To celebrate their signing with WormHoleDeath, Evig Natt unveils their first single and a stunning accompanying video: "Når Lyset Svikte".
Translated as "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 sung in Evig Natt's native Norwegian dialect, specifically on their 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.
