Midnattsol - Where Twilight Dwells (2005)

In Norwegian tales of old, of a time when trolls, fairies and elves walked the earth long before the rise of man, the focus is on the Midnightsun (in Norwegian: Midnattsol). When the Midnightsun had risen and bathed the world in its unnatural glow, these creatures of myth and magic would rise with it, leaving their darkened caves and returning to the light. And with them came the stories that would become legend with each passing generation…

Singer Carmen Elise Espenaes – the younger sister of Leaves’ Eyes vocalist Liv Kristine – and guitarist Chris Hector founded Midnattsol in 2002, their common ground being their mutual affection for Nordic mythology and composition. Where Twilight Dwells is the astounding result of months of hard work, taking the listener on a journey through the dark, mysterious and ultimately thought-provoking Scandinavian landscape.
