More information about Children of Eve
Nightfall have stood alongside Rotting Christ and Septicflesh as the pillars of Greek metal since the early ’90s. But now, Efthimis Karadimas and his Athenian band of rebels have once again returned from the shadows to unite blackened souls everywhere with Children of Eve, the darkest and most epic creation in their pantheon-level discography.
“One of the best releases of the year”, writes Metal Temple in a perfect 10/10 review of Children of Eve. “It’s sinister, morbid, darkened, aggressive, it’s a Nightfall release!”
“I think the first two things that anybody who listens to this record will say is that it’s heavy and it’s epic”, A&P Reacts says.
“I love how this album came out”, Efthimis says. “We’re excited to play these songs live. The sound is massive. The choruses are huge. And there’s a message that comes through. It’s an album about how we come through pain, how we live with pain, and how we die in pain”.
Children of Eve is out today on Season of Mist.

With Children of Eve, Nightfall are ready to bless the world stage with hell-raising blackened death metal. After all, the band do hold the title as the first Greeks to not only sign an international record deal but perform at Wacken Open Air. Their new album was mixed by Jacob Hansen, who’s helped Volbeat, Amaranthe and The Black Dahlia Murder crank their metallic fury to arena levels.
This weekend, Nightfall are celebrating the arrival of their new album in front of their faithful following at the 10th annual Horns Up Festival in Trikala, Greece. Later this summer, they’ll set upon Romania for a Dark Bombastic Evening.
Rising to the rafters on the strength of a gothic melody that’s as sharply curved as an Ancient Greek blade, “With Outlandish Desire to Disobey” is bound to unite the blackened masses. Chugging riffs whip into thunderous tremolo picking as ex-Septicflesh drummer Fotis Benardo gallops on the double with stadium-shaking blast beats. “Myriads and myriads abandoned souls“, Efthimis growls with utter disdain for his overzealous rulers. “Among them, I found yours“.
“This song is about walking your own path in life”, Efthimis says. “It’s about not trusting a word that’s coming out of the mouth of our deceivers, not trusting their promises for a better tomorrow when today is yet another day of suffering. We may choose the wrong way, but it is our damn choice”.
Children of Eve was born out out of anger at overzealous rulers around the world, but the message behind Children of Eve is deeply personal. When Nightfall retreated amongst the shadows during their 2010’s hiatus, Efthimis was diagnosed with depression. He now wears a black mask that covers half of his face to show what it’s like to live under the invisible veil of mental illness.
“Mental illness can lead to self-isolation”, says Efthimis, a stigma he’s now fighting through Metal Music against Depression, a new initiative that he’ll be speaking about during his two upcoming panels at Athens Music Week.
The video for “With Outlandish Desire to Disobey” was filmed at Sierra Studios in Athens, Greece by Bob Katsionis.
