and released their highly acclaimed debut album,"I Am Silence" in early 2007.
After some time searching, EVIG NATT recruited Ruben Osnes on guitars to fulfil the final line-up.

In 2008, Stein Sund choose to give up his vocal duties in EVIG NATT, and to concentrate on the bass and EVIG NATT song writing.

EVIG NATT's sound are unique, blending everything from progressive metal to black metal, and blend inspirations from bands like Anathema, My Dying Bride, The Gathering, Swallow The Sun, Moonspell and The Provenance without sounding like neither of them.
Darkland
Evig Natt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far into the distance lies
the land that I long for
Where my blood runs like
a river, I have to cross
Every breath, How it pains me
Patiently waiting for the
I'll free you from your wings
Now fall
When all fails I'll be here
To embrace you
Your blood is my river
Crossing you over
Send me into a dreamless sleep
Nightmares cease
while my vessel rots away
away
Nothing can penetrate this
numbing stillness
Where I lie and wait for life
The pale winter mistress
collecting the lost souls
where the unfortunate ones
must go
Fall to the ground
and beg for mercy
She'll break your wings
and let you fall
Enter the Darkland
There you'll find me
Follow the raven
I'll sit by my stone
The lyrics of Evig Natt's song Darkland speak of a deep longing for a mythical land. The singer paints this land as one where their blood runs like a river, a place they must cross. They seem to be in pain, waiting for the arrival of the Raven Goddess who holds the key to their salvation. The singer is ready to fall into a dreamless sleep where their nightmares cease. They claim that nothing can penetrate their numbing stillness as they wait for life. The pale winter mistress, who collects lost souls, is also mentioned. This mistress is described as a powerful figure who is capable of breaking one's wings before letting them fall.
The lyrics of this song are very profound and speak to the human desire of finding a place where one feels at home. The singer seems to have a deep connection with the mythical Darkland and is willing to give up everything, including their wings, to be able to live there. The use of imagery and metaphors is powerful, and the overall tone of the song reflects a sense of longing and desperation.
