Melancholic aggression and intensity await in the new single release, "When The Sun Comes Out At Night" featuring Johan Lindstrand (THE CROWN). With a line-up formed of three previous members of AMON AMARTH, and completed with Clint Williams, FIMBUL WINTER embarks on greater exploration and development of melodic death metal. This latest endeavor follows the band's previous single "Crowned In Ash" and the 2025 debut EP What Once Was.
"When The Sun Comes Out At Night" descends into a thunderous, high-speed onslaught driven by incessant riffs and untamable percussion. Fiercely melodic, entwining guitars traverse alongside the anguish-fueled harsh vocal performance from Clint Williams and guest vocalist Johan Lindstrand (THE CROWN). The shadowy atmosphere, brutal in nature, obtains a heroic, victorious quality as it reaches its end.
Lyrically, "When The Sun Comes Out At Night" explores the loss of stability experienced upon seeing reality too clearly. This awakening of truth, of knowing, becomes disorientating as it dismantles what was once certain.
Lyrics:
When the sun comes out at night
It pulls the dark apart
And spills its quiet truth
Across the fractured heart
When the sun comes out at night
The edges all ignite
Shadows lose their shape
And nothing stays in sight
I breath the wound between the day and night
The hours melt and sirens fade
Into the memory of the sky
Daylight turns its face inward
And history coughs up ash
I stand before myself to face collapse
Emptiness consumes itself
All form begins to break
No boundaries left and the ground forgets my weight
When the sun comes out at night
It pulls the dark apart
And spills its quiet truth
Across the fractured heart
When the sun comes out at night
The edges all ignite
Shadows lose their shape
And nothing stays in sight
I hear tomorrow screaming backwards
Through the teeth of yesterday
Chasing the bone-white moon away
A light on the fault lines
Inside the depth of stars
I shed my shape and crawl through the gap
Silence folds into the void
Forms dissolve and drift slow
No edges remain and earth no longer feels
When the sun comes out at night
The oceans recoil
Into the memory of the sky
Forests grind their roots together
Mountains tighten like fists
Let the light dissect every lie
Let it peel the mask from bone
Peel the mask from bone
Let the light dissect every lie
Let it peel the mask from bone
Peel the mask from bone
When the sun rises after dark
