Nattradio emerged from Sweden with a clear
identity, shaped during sleepless nights and quiet hours. The duo released
their debut in 2024 and quickly drew attention for their nocturnal approach.
Their second album, “The Longest Night”, arrives through Darkness Shall Rise Productions and deepens their
dedication to stories born after midnight. The band draws from gothic doom,
darkwave and noir inspired atmospheres, always wrapped in a heavy sense of
melancholy. Their description of doom noir is not just a clever phrase, it fits
the music perfectly and gives a clear idea of what Nattradio
is aiming for.
“The
Longest Night” leans into sorrow and isolation without turning cold or distant.
The album moves through a slow emotional descent, steady and unhurried, with
vocals that echo Katatonia’s “Discouraged
Ones” era. The resemblance is strong and gives the album a familiar shadow,
although Nattradio keeps a personal tone
that grows track by track. Guitars ring with a calm sadness, synth layers
settle around the songs like thin winter fog and the overall atmosphere
encourages the listener to sink fully into its darkness.
“The
Longest Night” stands as a confident step for Nattradio.
It brings them closer to the front of the modern gothic/doom scene and shows
that their approach can grow into something lasting. Listeners who enjoy Katatonia, The Cure,
My Dying Bride or Tiamat
will quickly connect with this release. Darkness
Shall Rise Productions presents it at the perfect time of year when
winter calls for music that keeps you company in the dark.
Score: 7.0
