Fatale, by The Night Eternal

Fatale

by The Night Eternal

supported by

A Becker Trad metal with a dark, gothic leaning. The album blurb talks about the band seeking to deliver a timeless sound on the record and I think they nailed it. Everything you want from a traditional metal album is delivered in spades. Great riffs, great melodies and the production quality is excellent. The thing that holds a lot of good bands back from being great is the quality of the singing. The vocals are a real strength on this record, capturing the energy of the songs perfectly. Superb record! Favorite track: Run With The Wolves.

Poesy Rider Bon, je n'ai pas compté, et je ne sais donc pas si le mot "darkness" est répété autant de fois que "Around the world" chez Daft punk, mais une chose est sûre : le propos est sans équivoque... Le chant est convainquant, et il ne manque plus à The night eternal qu'à trouver le bon équilibre, en se dégageant de ce côté agaçant à la To/die/for, pour devenir un grand groupe...à suivre. Favorite track: In Tartarus.

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) Pure metal, through and through, full of great riffs and catchy vocal hooks. It's easy to just let this repeat all day long, and you probably will. Favorite track: Prince Of Darkness.

about

From their self-titled debut EP in 2019 to their first album, Moonlit Cross, two years later, THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s ascent has been swift and assured. The German quintet’s aesthetic has been firm from the beginning – melodic-yet-moody heavy metal with more than a hint of hard rock’s diabolical past – but even the transition from the EP to the full-length proved that their vision still had infinitely shadowy corridors to explore. “Bend, but don’t break,” as the maxim goes, and THE NIGHT ETERNAL return another two years later with a full-length exploring more shadows than ever.

Titled Fatale, THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s second album immediately conjures an intoxicating aura: harder and heavier and definitely DARKER, and yet also somehow smoother and more mysterious. Dynamics play a key here on Fatale; while the Germans still rock hard, a keen grasp of nuance colors these nine anthems, almost purple velvet in atmosphere. Fittingly, their already-ace melodicism bristles with an anthemic energy even when taking decidedly darker steps into the Beyond. What results is, irrevocably, a startlingly unique version of THE NIGHT ETERNAL – a sound and style that can truly be called their own.

As the band explain, "Our attempt for Fatale was to make THE NIGHT ETERNAL sound even more like ourselves. It should be recognizable for everyone that it's us after just a few seconds of listening. We tried to simultaneously make the melodies and riffs catchier and also to give the overall sound a harder, more sinister and timeless touch."

No truer words spoken. Catchier, harder, more sinister, and above all timeless, Fatale is sympathetically rendered in a powerfully crystal-clear production courtesy of Marco Brinkmann, finished off by Arthur Rizk’s mastering. Huge and spacious but magickally retaining an intimacy and mystery, THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s second long-player sounds and feels stadium-ready much like their foundational heroes Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and the Scorpions. But again, it cannot be overstated how Fatale decisively establishes the band as a unique entity all themselves.

Those who thrill to the dark passions of Tribulation, The Devils Blood, In Solitude, and Unto Others, prepare for reckoning with THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s Fatale.

What an album! The only reason the album didn't elevate them straight to stardom is not enough people heard it. Modern classic - from start to finish. c1ch

Allow me to copy Pagan Altar's third album title to describe not only III:Pentecost but the whole discography of Wytch Hazel so far: well, yes, it's Magical and Mythical!!! A must-have for the lovers of 70's hard sound revival. BoneWalker
