An Evening With Knives unleash their sophomore album, "End of Time," in 2025, heralding a new wave of post-metal severity. As the second single released from this, a much-anticipated record, "The Mistake," doesn't give you a taste of what's to come. It takes you by the throat and pulls you into its maw.
"The Mistake" is a slow-burning storm of layers of atmosphere, weighty riffs, and an undercurrent of restless energy. There's a raw urgency to it, a feeling that every of its notes has been chiseled from the marrow of experience; the track curls between haunting melodies and unrelenting heaviness, a hypnotic and punishing back-and-forth.
An Evening With Knives soaks in music as a birthright, and it shows. Their instinct for sculpting sound into feeling has never been crisper, mixing body-smashing distortion with a well of immersive, deep ambiance that hangs in the air long after the song has left.
"The Mistake" is any indication of what anything resembling "End of Time" has in store; fans should expect an album that balances beauty with brutality at a masterful precision. This is a chapter in their evolution and a transformative one, a statement that An Evening With Knives isn't extending the legacy of Eindhoven's storied music community; they're incinerating it.
