Reviving Heavy Metal Traditions
Gothenburg’s DREAM EVIL, renowned for their iconic anthem “The Book Of Heavy Metal,” made a powerful comeback last year with their seventh studio album, “Metal Gods.” This highly anticipated release marked their first in seven years, following the 2017 album “SIX,” and continued the band’s legacy of delivering classic Heavy Metal energy.
Introducing the “Thunder In The Night” EP
In an exciting development, DREAM EVIL has unveiled a Digital EP titled “Thunder In The Night,” featuring four additional tracks from the “Metal Gods” recording sessions. This release includes special guest guitar performances by Andy LaRocque of King Diamond on the title track and Pontus Norgren from Hammerfall on “Fight For Glory,” which was previously exclusive to a Japanese CD release.

Band Insights
Peter Stålfors, the band’s bass player, expressed his excitement about the new EP, stating, “It’s so much fun recording a new album, but sometimes it can be a little bit too much fun… and you record too many songs to fit on one album! That was the case when we released ‘Metal Gods’ last summer.” He emphasized the joy of finally sharing these four tracks with fans.
Production Quality
Once again, the EP was recorded and mixed by DREAM EVIL guitarist Fredrik Nordström at his famed Studio Fredman, known for its work with bands like In Flames and Arch Enemy. The artwork for both “Metal Gods” and the “Thunder In The Night” EP was created by the talented Seth Siro Anton, whose portfolio includes designs for Paradise Lost and Exodus.
