The Night Eternal - Cold Velvet The Night Eternal

German melancholic heavy metallers The Night Eternal claim to take the throne with their Metal Blade debut, Cold Velvet, due for release on 21st August 2026.

Since their foundation in 2018, the quintet has built a serious reputation with their '70s and '80s guitar-driven sound in their very own sinister guise. The band's previous two full-length albums, Moonlit Cross (2021) and Fatale (2023), gained applause from fans and critics alike, resulting in successful support tours with Blind Guardian, Michael Schenker Group, Angel Witch, and Lucifer, along with festival appearances at Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Hellfest, Alcatraz, and the infamous Hell's Heroes festival 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.
