FULL ALBUM PREMIERE 

White Tundra - Stories From The Dark

The time has come! As we mentioned on Monday, today is the day we get to PREMIERE for you all the FULL ALBUM by Norwegian fourpiece White Tundra! It's called Stories From The Dark and it's brooding, menacing and full of dread... For Stories From The Dark creeps in like those eyes that watch you through those frozen woords, that glint you think you see just beyond the firelight. And as the storm approaches, you can feel the storm growing with each crushing riff and shifting shadow. Their sound stalks and lunges, one more a heavy deliberate prowl, and the next a like a cosmic void pulling you under. And then those voices, snarling, chanting, grunting in Nordic tongue or English. And beneath all that massive weight, melodies flicker like dying embers... This is no ordinary album, hell no... It's a saunter through the dark, where every step feels thrilling and just dangerous enough you dare to keep going... 

 Right?  

If you dare, go and push play on White Tundra's Stories From The Dark!

PR Wire:

 Norwegian heavy voyagers White Tundra are back with their second full length album, “Stories from the Dark”, set for release on April 24th 2026 via Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records in deluxe vinyl and digital formats. The band also unveils their new single and official videoclip, “Kultarberget”, offering a first glimpse into the dark, atmospheric world of the album.

Formed in 2023, White Tundra emerged from the northern landscapes of Norway with a sound that fuses heavy atmospheric melodies, hypnotic grooves and a deep Scandinavian mystique. Their music drifts between desert rock energy, doom laden textures and Nordic folklore inspired narratives, balancing the raw power of 70s hard rock with modern stoner and dark rock influences. Often compared to Red Fang, Witchcraft and Skraeckoedlan, the band maintains a unique identity that is unmistakably their own.

Following their acclaimed self titled debut album in 2023, which secured a place on the Doom Charts, White Tundra spent 2024 rebuilding their creative core. With the arrival of lead guitarist Kjell Andres Nilsen and bassist Øyvind Persvik, the band began crafting what would become “Stories from the Dark”. Recording took place at AutumnSongs Recording Studio with producer Rhys Marsh, who also worked on the debut album, and mastering was completed by Joona Hassinen at Studio Underjord.

White Tundra share:

“We started working on this album early 2024 when Kjell Andres joined on lead guitars. He had been piling up ideas for a while and came into the band with fresh blood and energy. After a while, Øyvind joined on bass and we really started to focus on writing in the summer of 2024. Many songs were in the loop for this album, but we settled on these final six tracks as the ones who fit best together. The winter and spring were used for demoing and pre productions, and Ola recorded the drums in mid July. Bass, guitar and vocals were recorded during two consecutive weeks in August.

The music has partly been written after the lyrics, often starting with creating the chorus and main mood of the songs and building from there. Other songs were partly finished musically before the lyrics fell into place. Ola wrote all the lyrics, with help from singer Steven to adapt them to the music. Thematically it takes off where the previous album ended, with lyrics about escaping from society, exploring the unknown and incorporating local folklore. The closing track, White Tundra, attempts to capture the entire soul and journey of the band, from desert rock inspiration to the white, stormy tundra.”
