German quintet The Night Eternal is shaping a detailed personal style on the alluring third album “Cold Velvet” characterized by a cohesive narrative and a gripping darkened essence.
“Where This World Ends” begins a sorrowful journey through gelid soundscapes highlighting the towering rhythmic section and the mature musicianship through relentless riffs and captivating guitar solos.
“Eurydice (Don’t Look Back)” follows a rather dark pathway but the natural melodic flow leads to the shadowy sentimental catchiness of the chorus and the ardent melodic crescendos fueled by the polished guitar work.
On “Caught in a Spell” magnetic guitars confidently embrace a super groovy approach maintaining a balanced rhythmic pace with a remarkable old school attitude and continues to emphasize a hypnotizing melodic essence.
“The Watcher of the Burning Veil” reveals a genuine devotion to ’80s classic heavy metal so you can expect loads of monumental grooves often embellished by epic melodic accents.
“Dance on Crimson Ground” shines for the captivating vocals and the poetic melodic progressions thriving within a cold atmospheric ensemble as guitars focus on sophisticated leads and emotional depth yet still engage in memorable energizing rhythmic segments.
Drenched in endless melancholia “Cold Velvet” passionately combines Nordic heaviness and mesmeric melodic themes allowing The Night Eternal to effortlessly reach a wider audience.
