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:

Formed in 2003 in Karmøy, western Norway, EVIG NATT began as a studio project by vocalist Kirsten Jørgensen and bassist Stein Sund, later joined by drummer Harald Magne Revheim. The band released their acclaimed debut I Am Silence in 2007 via Omvina Records, followed by Darkland in 2010 on Black Bards, earning international praise and features in magazines such as Metal Hammer and Scream. Their self-titled third album arrived in 2016 and led to tours across Europe and Japan.
Musically, EVIG NATT sit at the crossroads of gothic doom, progressive metal, and black metal, with influences ranging from Anathema and My Dying Bride to Swallow The Sun and The Provenance. Members have also been connected to Norwegian metal pillars Einherjer and Enslaved, further grounding the band in the country’s heavy legacy.
With Vaketimen, EVIG NATT sound focused, mature, and unafraid to let the music breathe. This is not about excess. It’s about atmosphere, emotion, and the long shadow that lingers after the final note.
