Svartanatt to release album ‘Last Days On Earth’

”Last Days On Earth” is the third studio album by Swedish Rock band Svartanatt, and follows their 2016 self-titled debut as well as their 2018 sophomore full-length ”Starry Eagle Eyes”. Recorded in Svenska Grammofonstudion, Last Days On Earth offers 11 new cuts of hard-hitting retro rock. While continuing to build on Svartanatt’s solid foundation of ’60s and ’70s-influenced rock, the album showcases even more varied and captivating soundscapes than before, where melodic organ and guitar arrangements interplay with a tight, rock-solid rhythm section, all topped with songwriter Jani’s unique, expressive vocals. The band comments:

“It’s a lot of doom and gloom on this album, at least in the lyrics. Faith in humanity, society and the own existence is nothing but a memory. Buried beneath a monument saying “your days are numbered, welcome to hell”.  But one man’s loss is another one’s gain. What will 
rise from the ashes?  

There has been no shortage of creativity and fun when recording this album. There’s a lot of classic Svartanatt but also an expansion of the sound. On the albums last track, Where I Belong, Lars Heaster (Daniels dad) has put down an epic trumpet that rides the album into the sunset. Magical, if we may say so.”

”Last Days On Earth” was recorded by Martin Borgh, who also mixed the album. Mastered by Hans Olsson Brookes (Bombus, Spiders, Graveyard, Blues Pills). ”Last Days On Earth” will be released on the 3rd of November, 2023 by The Sign Records. The album will be available on all streaming platforms and on black as well as orange vinyl.

With melodious guitars, heavy organs, high-energy drums, groovy basslines and unique sharp vocals, Svartanatt creates their own timeless rock sound that has been recognized around the world. The band’s third album will be released by The Sign Records in 2023.
