Both built from the same raw passion for heavy metal, this partnership was inevitable. Metal Blade has kept the spirit alive for over 40 years — now The Night Eternal is here to add their weight to the legacy. Nothing but hard-hitting, no-compromise metal lies ahead.

“It comes together what belongs together – we live for heavy metal with every fiber of our beings and are therefore very proud to announce that we signed with Metal Blade Records, a label that has been carrying heavy metal‘s torch for the last 43 years. What an honor! Expect nothing but bangers from this collaboration.”, states the band.

Los Angeles, April 28, 2025 – Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the signing of Germany’s rising heavy metal force, The Night Eternal. Known for their electrifying fusion of 70s and 80s guitar-driven metal with a dark and unique edge, The Night Eternal has carved their name into the hearts of fans worldwide. Formed in 2019, The Night Eternal quickly gained momentum with the release of their debut EP, followed by the critically acclaimed albums “Moonlit Cross” (2021) and “Fatale” (2023). Their latest record not only resonated with their loyal fanbase but also secured top rankings in leading metal publications such as Deaf Forever (#1), Rock Hard (#1), and Metal Hammer (#2). The band’s relentless passion and precision on stage have led them to major festival appearances at Wacken, Summer Breeze, and Party San Open Air, along with high-profile tours supporting legendary acts like Blind Guardian, Angel Witch, and Lucifer. In 2024 alone, they delivered an astonishing 55 shows, cementing their status as one of the most exciting forces in contemporary heavy metal. Now, The Night Eternal is gearing up for the next thrilling chapter of their journey, joining the prestigious Metal Blade Records roster. With new material in the works and highly anticipated performances at Hellfest and Alcatraz Open Air, the band is set to unleash their most ferocious music yet. With their signing to Metal Blade Records, The Night Eternal is poised to reach even greater heights, continuing to honour the legacy of heavy metal while forging a path that is uniquely their own. – Metal Blade Records
