Night's third full length album "Raft of the World" will be released through The Sign Records. The album consists of 9 ravishing rock hymns forged together by the band during the fall of '16, and signifies a musical progression of the band towards a more rock-based sound - without leaving their trademarked sharp edged NWOBHM attitude. With a modern take on classic rock 'n' roll combined with more sinister lyrical themes, this album invites the listener on an increasingly organic and diverse journey compared to its predecessors. "Raft of the World" was recorded, produced and mixed by Ola Ersfjord (Tribulation, Dead Lord, Lizzies, Honeymoon Disease) with additional recordings (drums & bass) by Linus Lundgren at Studio Ganymeden in their hometown Linköping. Ola Ersfjord contributed to a broader production and soundscape including instruments such as organs, acoustic guitars and percussion to name a few, which they consider has brought the album a unique sound that stands out in comparison to other contemporary rock bands. Mastering was done by Chris Common (The Mars Volta, Chelsea Wolfe, Mastodon) and the artwork is made by the talented artist Mattias Frisk (Ghost, Vanhelgd, Vampire, Trap Them). Night is a quartet hailing from the plains of Östergötland, Sweden. They started out back in 2011 and have released two full length albums and two 7" singles followed by several tours and festival gigs (Muskelrock, Hell over Hammaburg, Headbangers open air, Metal frenzy) all over Europe. Known for their fierce and intense live performances, Night have built up a reputation as an entity to count on. Today the band consists of Oskar (vocals, electric guitar), Sammy (electric guitar), Joesph (electric bass guitar) and Dennis (battery).

Press Quotes

Fans of retro 70's and 80's guitar sound and fans of hard rock will be very pleased with our Swedish friends! NO designer drugs: just pure hard rock straight from heaven!

     —Snooze Control, http://snoozecontrol.be/english/7188/

Night draw on a lovable brew of '70s legends. Their new album's opening anthem, 'Fire in the Sky,' brings to mind Pentagram and Judas Priest as much as it does the momentous hooks of Stevie Nicks or Queen.

     —Pitchfork, https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/5-new-metal-records

Night is reinterpreting early Seventies proto-metal and the hard rock side of the early NWoBHM movement, with both interesting and entertaining results. Recommended.

     —Danger Dog, http://www.dangerdog.com/2017-music-reviews/night-

these guys clearly are on their way to becoming major players in the highly competitive modern Scandinavian rock and metal scene.

     —Metal Injection, http://www.metalinjection.net/av/full-album-stream

This is one of the few albums that I listened to this year that doesn't contain not even a filler.

     —Metal Invader, https://metalinvader.net/night-raft-of-the-world/

Night worship at the retro metal altar, playing an old-school style of NWOBHM.

     —Heavy Music HQ, http://www.heavymusichq.com/heavy-music-headquarte

I've always enjoyed the fusion of heavy metal and rock, but this record just takes it to all new heights it and it couldn't have been pulled off better. Night has made an amazing album here and if it doesn't receive widespread for it being fucking awesome

     —Headbangers Review, https://headbangerreviews.wordpress.com/2017/08/30

Night would fit perfectly on bills with Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Kadavar, Blues Pills and so on. But perhaps it might be best to push 'Raft of The World' back in time and place it among your favorite classics.

     —Merchants of air, http://www.merchantsofair.com/albums/night-raft-of

Raft Of The World is a marked step towards the organic, away from pure NWOBHM worship and into a hybrid territory of that vaunted movement and a more classic 70s rock, and all for the better.
