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: orcd.co/vaketimen
The album has already generated significant buzz with four powerful singles and music videos:

Media Reactions to Vaketimen
“And then, of course, there’s the real beauty of Vaketimen: it’s not just an album, it’s a purging.” ever-metal.com
«Vaketimen» is not an album that is easy to listen to, but that is what makes it so special. Emotional attention is needed, and the listener needs to dig deep in his soul to feel for the pain of the artist.” Metalwar.gr
“…an album that I find objectively beautiful and well-constructed…for fans of atmospheric gothic/doom, it’s clearly a release not to be overlooked.” anteverse.fr
“…EVIG NATT’s true power emerges, yet not through sheer heaviness, but through their ability to shape darkness into something quietly radiant…a reminder that beauty can exist within despair” femalefrontedpower.com
