The Swedish quartet known as THENIGHTTIMEPROJECT, featuring Fredrik (guitars) and Mattias Norrman (bass) (ex-KATATONIA, OCTOBER TIDE). Guitar/vocalist Alexander Backlund and drummer Jonas Sköld (LETTERS FROM THE COLONY), is back, 3 years after the self-titled debut album, with a brand new masterpiece, "Pale Season".
Vocalist Alexander Backlund comments, "The album title, Pale Season – despite what some might think – does not refer to the eight months where the weather in Sweden is a signature grey. Instead, it refers to those less-colorful patches of memory – years that fly by without anything spectacular happening, which pale in comparison to the vividness of one’s childhood or the early days of romance. This, in other words, is an album for all those moments lost in between the extremes of the emotional spectrum."
The front cover was painted by famous Artist Denis Forkas and layout was created by Kadriel Betsen.
Mixed by Alexander Backlund at Nailvillage and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios, the album features 9 melancholic Metal/Rock songs:
1. Hound
2. Rotting Eden
3. Binary
4. Final Light
5. Embers
6. Pale Season
7. Anti Meridian
8. Signals In The Sky
9. Meridian
Guitarist Fredrik Norrman comments, "I'm very pleased to finally be able to give some info over what we've been doing the past year. This is easily one of the best albums I've ever been part of. Very proud of what we've managed to achieve."
The first single, 'Embers', will be released publicly on 19th April.

BIOGRAPHY
2010 - 2016: Not straying far from his most notable roots, Fredrik "North" Norrman founded THENIGHTTIMEPROJECT — a pleasantly nostalgic road for those more familiar with his work in KATATONIA. Joined by Tobias Netzell of IN MOURNING fame, along with Nicklas Hjertton, formerly of MANDYLON, their self-titled debut album is released in January 2016. The album receives standing ovations from the press, and with a mix of rock, metal, progressive, doom, post-rock and psychedelic elements it is indeed an interesting ride for the listener.
2017: The band releases the single Anti Meridian. Mattias Norrman (OCTOBER TIDE) joins the band on bass. Later this year Tobias and Nicklas decide to leave the band due to lack of time.
2018: Joined by Jonas Sköld (OCTOBER TIDE, LETTERS FROM THE COLONY) on drums and vocalist Alexander Backlund (LETTERS FROM THE COLONY) the band is now working on the follow up to the debut album as well as rehearsing for live shows.
