Born in 1991 in Athens, NIGHTFALL is the 1st ever metal band from Greece striking a deal with a foreign record label. It’s Holy records in Paris who released 5 albums and 2 eps with: Parade into Centuries (band’s, label’s and Greek metal scene’s debut), Macabre Sunsets, Athenian Echoes, Lesbian Show, Diva Futura and Eons Aura and Electronegative eps. The band toured Europe and appeared in many festivals. Fans around the world enthusiastically embraced NIGHTFALL’s “exotic” sound and lyrical approach. The Athenians sounded like no other band in the world at that time, and that was an achievement that did not go unnoticed.
In the 00s NIGHTFALL changed course to becoming more of a studio act than live and released 4 great albums: I Am Jesus and Lyssa/Rural Gods & Astonishing Punishments with Black Lotus records and Astron Black & the Thirty Tyrants and Cassiopeia with Metal Blade records.
Art is the flame that lights the katabasis to our underworld. That flame fueled NIGHTFALL’s At Night We Prey through Season of Mist records in 2021. Full of raging songs about mental disorders and specifically depression; the stigma, the stereotypes, the rejection. Collaborating with European Alliance against Depression in Germany, the band is daring to assist metalheads in distress to stand on their feet, open up and seek professional help.
Today NIGHTFALL work with producer Jacob Hansen on their next album, due late 2024.
