I Am The Night release new music video for ‘Hear Me O’ Unmaker’
I AM THE NIGHT have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Hear Me O’ Unmaker, is the brand new song from the Finnish black metal band and is the first glimpse into their debut full-length album, While The Gods Are Sleeping, which is scheduled to be released later this year, via Svart Records.
The band features Markus Vanhala [INSOMNIUM, OMNIUM GATHERUM], Janne Markkanen [ex-OMNIUM GATHERUM], Okko Solanterä and Walteri Väyrynen [PARADISE LOST, BODOM AFTER MIDNIGHT].
“Black metal art has been a continuous and serious pursuit in my personal life since my early teenage years,” explains guitarist Vanhala. “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.”

Continuing to speak about the forthcoming debut record, Vanhala adds, “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.”
“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,” vocalist Solaterä explains. “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 will be released later this year via Svart Records. More information about the album will be revealed soon.
