New music coming soon! Watch this space!
The song Tick Tock was written by Tommy. He had a total vision of how he wanted it to sound, and if I remember correctly, the lyrics and the music was presented to Arni and myself as a full package. He even knew how the cover was going to look like. It was recorded and released during the pandemic. I would say it is one of the most ‘Gothic’ songs on our setlist, an absolute live favorite. - Østen Vige Bergøy
Sorrow returns is another live favorite (and another complete song from Tommy). This is the the Title track from our debut EP back in 2016. It is a rocker: melodic, dynamic, and fun to do live. Stands the test of time, and a great song. - Østen Vige Bergøy
Cold Light was created by Arni, he made a demo, and Tommy fitted it into the Long Night sound. I really like the lyrics and the melody on this song. Unfortunately, this song has not been on our setlist for a while, but personally, I hope it will return. Every rhyme is a road through shadows. Great lyrics. - Østen Vige Bergøy

I first saw Long Night in 2015 in the Uk , at a festival , I had heard “Wintersong” ( one of my favourite songs ) and had arranged to place it on a compilation CD , but seeing them perform Live was way beyond expectations , the performance was absolutely flawless.
This was the beginning of a great Label / Artist relationship , culminating in the release of “Barren Land “ in Dec 2018 , which sold out in a few months . The Album received much Critical acclaim .
The Pandemic hit in Dec 2019 but the album received a second press in May 2020 . Long night had recorded a track called “ Tick Tock “ which was released in March 2020 and second release was April 2020 during the full force of the Pandemic. The year of 2023 , in March , saw the release of a compilation CD , Miscellanies. I believe there is new music well and truly in the pipeline and patiently wait for it to appear and get the long Night project back on track after very Difficult times worldwide.
Exciting times ahead !!

Total professionals onstage and off, my experience working with Long Night was nothing but positive throughout.
Clear and timely with their communications from the outset, Long Night’s representative made sure both parties had a shared understanding of requirements, with no nasty last-minute surprises, and was always ready to explore different options to ensure the show could go ahead to everyone’s satisfaction. As a promoter, I find this is rarer than it should be, and it really is a godsend to know that all the details have been nailed down in good time.
On the day, Long Night were a pleasure to work with, being punctual for load-in and soundcheck, which was swiftly completed with good communication between band and resident engineer. As we’d got five bands on the bill that day and a particularly tight schedule, this professionalism was especially appreciated. Their first time at the venue, and following some local favourites, the bar was set high for them, but they cleared it with aplomb. Playing to a mix of their own fans, and gig-goers who’d never heard them before but were quickly won over, feedback from the crowd was universally positive.
An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish, and a great live act to boot, I’d have no hesitation in putting Long Night on again, should our calendars align, and be confident of them drawing a good crowd on their own account.
