Domkraft comment: “You know the feeling when you think that from here on things can only get better?”, vocalist and bass player Martin Wegeland asks rhetorically. “The idea that you’ve finally reached rock bottom? Well, the state of the world always proves you wrong. This song is basically saying: ‘give us your best shot, fuckers!’ At this stage, we are prepared for almost everything. We are done believing and have fully switched to brace yourself mode. Yet, this song is definitely not about resigning or giving up. In fact, it rather deals with amassing enough power to cope without cracking, and possibly even dance while doing so.”
Personal experience of any kind has always inspired artists. It is therefore hardly surprising that the traumatic medical crisis which Domkraft guitarist Martin Widholm faced in 2025 has found an echo on the Swedes’ fifth album »Night Songs«. Although his band mates didn’t have to undergo several complicated surgeries as he did, they were of course also affected as bystanders in less threatening but nonetheless meaningful ways.

Their collective outlook on life and what is truly important shifted during this period of terror. When the band started working on new songs during Widholm’s long phase of recovery, many contradictory feelings surfaced in both the music and the lyrics. From fear bordering on panic, the pendulum swung to cautious relief. And through sadness and joy, hope and despair, they went all the way to finally arrive at the humbling realisation that they were still able to do what they dearly love: creating music.
The album title, »Night Songs«, partly stems from the Swedes’ experiences during the past year, but also crosses into the broad idea of darkness versus light. This can mean personal hardships, the present state of the world, or the concept of actual night itself. The night may turn into a time of regret, solitude and insomnia but also into the opposite, as a calm phase of relief, relaxation, and even debauchery. All of this happens at night. And just maybe, these »Night Songs« could foremost deal with resilience.
Nordic trio Domkraft have always been true to their musical course, but also grew audibly in maturity with each new release, honing their considerable songwriting skills on each outing. Gradually and through determination and small tweaks and nuances, their stylistic range shifted from towering doom anthems towards heavy rock with psychedelic influences.
Domkraft sprung into being when singer and bass player Martin Wegeland, guitarist Martin Widholm, and drummer Anders Dahlgren realised that they had firmly bonded over a mutual love of bands such as Spacemen 3, Monster Magnet, Sleep, and Hawkwind.
Domkraft’s monolithic 2016 debut album, »The End Of Electricity«, drew equally from the heaviness, psychedelia, and hypnotic minimalism of their influences. Building on this foundation and with a curious lust for experimentation, the trio explored different sonic angles and musical avenues while building an ever-growing audience and continued critical acclaim with each following release: »Flood« (2018), »Seeds« (2021), and »Sonic Moons« (2023).
Domkraft furthermore established an excellent reputation as a considerable live force and audience magnet on both sides of the Atlantic. The trio performed at such prestigious festivals as four Desertfests (BE, DE, UK & US), Psycho Las Vegas (US), Blow Up (FI), Sonic Whip (NL), Høstsabbat (NO) ArcTanGent (UK), and many more.
»Night Songs« was recorded at the renowned Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm by David Castillo (Opeth, Candlemass, Katatonia et al.). Karl Daniel Lidén (Greenleaf, Lowrider, Breach) was asked to maintain Domkraft’s sonic identity by again mixing and mastering the album.
»Night Songs« should be enjoyed like a feverish, dream-like cocktail that is expertly mixed from equal parts deafening quiet and soothing loud noises, then sprinkled with insomnia, relief, contemplation, and a dash of red-hot anger for raw spice.
