German up and rising melancholic Heavy Metallers The Night Eternal claim to take the throne with their Metal Blade debut “Cold Velvet” due for release on August 21st, 2026. Since their foundation in 2018 the quintet has built themselves a serious reputation with their 70s and 80s guitar-driven sounds in their very own sinister guise. The band´s previous two full-length “Moonlit Cross” (2021) and “Fatale” (2023) gained applause by fans and critics alike which resulted in successful support tours (Blind Guardian, Michael Schenker Group, Angel Witch, Lucifer) and festival gigs (Wacken, Summer Breeze, Hellfest, Alcatraz a.o.) all over Europe as well as a spot at the infamous Hell´s Heroes fest in Houston, Texas. With “Cold Velvet” the band has ultimately carved out its own subgenre, weaving darkness, dreamlike unease and deep melancholy into a dramatic yet untainted Heavy Metal Rock ’n’ Roll attitude.
