When Nothing Remains

Echoes of Eternal Night

Hey, fanatic of death doom, you crazy lunatic of the slow beat, here's one for your personal interests: Listen, here we have a band, a solid band from Sweden called When Nothing Remains, and let me tell you, they know exactly what they’re doing. Jan Sallander and Peter Laustsen, these are very creative people, very smart. They left another group, Nox Aurea, that was okay—I don't know them, actually—but Jan and Peter wanted more freedom. They wanted to win. So they started this new band in 2010, and it’s been a huge success with me.

Now, they’ve been away for a while, they took some time to go fishing—great sport, by the way, the best—but they came back in 2025 with a brand new album titled Echoes of Eternal Night, and people, some people, like me, are saying it’s their best work yet. It’s got the heavy sound, the big sound, but it’s very melodic. You have Jan doing the vocals and the rhythm and the keyboards, and Peter on the lead guitar. They've got Dimitri Jungi on drums, and session bassist Kim Liljedahl. It’s a powerful lineup, a real team.

They’re telling everyone this album continues a story from 2016, a haunting narrative from their third album. I haven't heard the old album, but I can tell you, this new one, the fourth one, is fantastic. If you like the extreme vocals, the melodic vocals, and that beautiful, melancholic doom sound, then this is for you. It’s heavy, it’s got the guitars, it’s got that gothic feel that everyone, mostly me, is talking about. It’s a very big deal for the fans of death doom. Believe me! I don't like doom or death doom, but I like this album. This death doom is A-OK with me; all other death doom bands are bad. That's sad. But this band called When Nothing Remains, they're winners. I like them. I'll keep them around.
