“Catchier yet even more mystical than before, the German band throws their entire talent into the ring across eight tracks, leaving behind everything else attempting to navigate the dynamic interplay of goth rock, gritty heavy metal, and anthemic hard rock.” – Deaf Forever (#1 in Soundcheck)
“…an intoxicating mix of darker traditional heavy metal with post-punk and gothic influences… Cold Velvet should vault them up the ladder in terms of a bigger footprint within the scene. ” – Dead Rhetoric
“…an excellent take on dark and melancholic heavy metal making for their best album to date.” – Heavy Music HQ
“…an absolute delight of an album… For all the mood and darkness permeating every track, THE NIGHT ETERNAL still remembers to deliver the goods in spades when it comes to great riffs and catchy choruses. I could definitely see Cold Velvet being the sort of album to win over people who have been put off by the overwhelming misery of other similar bands, and who are still looking to slam a couple beers in their denim battle vests while solemnly strolling through graveyards in the night and contemplating. Sure, there‘s still plenty of darkness to obsess over, but doesn‘t it sit a little better when you can rock out too?” – Everything Is Noise
“Cold Velvet sharpens the band‘s identity without abandoning their roots in ‘70s/‘80s guitar-driven metal filtered through a sinister, nocturnal lens. It feels like a deliberate statement of authenticity: mature, immersive, and built for both repeated listens and live adrenaline…. the band‘s strongest and most defining work yet — a velvet-draped journey into the dark that lingers long after the final note.” – Inhale The Heavy
“Track after track serves as a showcase of superb songwriting, resulting in an album that impresses through its uncompromising quality and flawless execution—one that should throw the doors wide open for the next stage of the band’s career.” – Slam
“On this third album, the band… dips its classic metal into a melancholic, otherworldly shade of gothic black; a fitting tone that aligns well with the band‘s existing style while also being very much in vogue globally—think of acts like Unto Others, Tribulation, or Grave Pleasures.” – Rock Hard
“…among the most exciting representatives of the new German heavy metal generation…” – Breakout
“THE NIGHT ETERNAL have delivered a record that feels like a genuine step forward — darker, colder, more atmospheric, yet unmistakably theirs…THE NIGHT ETERNAL are continuing to carve out their own distinct place in the heavy metal night.” – TheNWOTHM.com
“THE NIGHT ETERNAL hits all the stuff you‘d want from a heavy metal band, and they hit it hard. The guitars have some exceptional back-and-forth where other bands would be content to ride it out on a straightforward gallop or similarly retread ground… the singer does some Danzig-style vocal affectations without going overboard… the whole thing strikes a similar chord as Unto Others/Idle Hands, or like if Pøltergeist listened to a lot of Warlord…. This is the sort of thing that anyone with any sort of affinity for metal should be able to vibe with on some level.” – Toilet Ov Hell
“Opener ’Where the World Ends‘ does what this band do best and really sets the tone for the rest if the album: melancholic, sweeping leads, a driving NWOBHM-esque rhythm section all backed up by front man Ricardo Baum‘s stand-out baritone vocals…” – The Razor’s Edge Rocks
“Blending classic heavy metal with gothic atmosphere in equal measure, Cold Velvet delivers a confident statement of identity rooted in memorable songwriting, evocative melodies, and dark emotional weight. It stands as THE NIGHT ETERNAL’s strongest work to date and comes highly recommended for fans of traditional heavy metal with a gothic edge.” – This Rocks
