»Vaketimen« has arrived: Evig Natt’s gothic doom masterpiece drops today!

Emerging from the unholy metal grounds of the Norwegian west coast, Evig Natt proudly announces the worldwide release of their cinematic new masterpiece, »Vaketimen«, out today.

Deeply rooted in the atmospheric traditions of their homeland, Evig Natt, featuring former members of metal legends Einherjer and Enslaved, expands the horizons of the genre. »Vaketimen« is an evocative journey through “Orchestral Gothic Doom Metal,” a sound that is as aggressive as it is subtle, and as noisy as it is beautiful.

Following the success of their self-titled 2016 release, which saw the band touring from Belgium to Japan, »Vaketimen« represents a refined evolution. The album balances crushing riffs with elegant, slow-burning arrangements, creating a tension-filled landscape of melody and earned darkness. Drawing inspiration from icons like Anathema, My Dying Bride, and Swallow The Sun, Evig Natt blends progressive elements with black metal intensity to create something truly unique.

»Vaketimen« is available now on all digital platforms.

The album has already generated significant buzz with four powerful singles and music videos: »Når Lyset Svikte«, »At The End Of The Night«, »Sorrow My World« and »Death«.
