I Am The Night release new music video for ‘I Am The Night’

I AM THE NIGHT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track I Am The Night, is taken from the Finnish black metal band’s upcoming debut album, While The Gods Are Sleeping, which is scheduled to be released in May this year.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band shares, “we had a certain 90s video in our mind when we gave Jari Heino instructions to create this one. This is his modern take on that classic, and the way we wanted it to look. The song itself is a swing of a morning star to one’s head. Aggressive and harsh, but still the melodic aspects can be found. Listen and wander into the night.”

“Black metal art has been a continuous and serious pursuit in my personal life since my early teenage years,” explains guitarist Vanhala about the upcoming debut album. “In The Nightside Eclipse, Storm Of The Light’s Bane and De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas opened the gate to the dark side for me years ago, as can be heard from the music we make with I AM THE NIGHT. Our debut record, the result of a yearning for ancient darkness, turned out to be just the time capsule we wanted it to be, far removed from modern metal. I’ve seldom found anything interesting in post nineties black metal. We wanted to realise this in the underground way that felt fitting to the music, and chose to work with Svart Records.”

Vocalist Solaterä adds, “our songs are stories about the worship of night and the triumph of the powers of darkness. At night, sun to his slumber and shadows all over, the forces of the night rise to the heavens, cast angels out and usher in a new era of individual freedom. I AM THE NIGHT is a real band not a project. It is unrestrained creation. A ray of darkness for us in the vacuum created by the pandemic. The future remains unseen, and all the better for it.”

While The Gods Are Sleeping is set for release on May 6th via Svart Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
