The fourth full-length album from one of the best funeral doom metal bands is ready to surprise the listeners. Although the style of the talented multi-instrumentalist Ryan hiding beneath the name of The Howling Void is kept, this album features new colors and musical impressions. This time clean melodious vocal employed at the previous EP "Runa" supports cold cosmic and majestic symphonies. Given the overall monolith of sound, diverse keyboards and guitar parties combined with ambient interludes make "Nightfall" vivid and rich. And from the first tones one can reveal behind detached sadness and reverie one of the unique bands of the genre.
Following the tradition, the artwork again features a painting by a famous artist, this time Caspar David Friedrich, an outstanding representative of German romanticism.
The first 100 copies of the album come as a noble strictly limited digipack.

Tracklist:
1. A Long Day’s Journey Into Night
2. In Subterranean Temples
3. God of the Gallows
4. Mist and Moonlight
5. The Chaos Beyond The Stars
6. Voidward
