An Evening With Knives
- Where the wall of sound falls down into a sea of tranquility -
A mesmerizing, imposing wall of sound, blurring the boundaries between post-metal, psychedelic rock and doom metal.
They bring to the stage a layered and energetic sound with unexpected turns.
Where the wall of sound falls down into a sea of tranquility, they always keep it dark, heavy and captivating.
With the release of their self-titled EP in the summer of 2015, this energetic three piece
started their journey to rock and roll glory. This journey started in the Netherland’s very own
city of rock Eindhoven, selling out local headlining shows and has led the band to other
great gigs all over Europe, sharing the stage with the likes of Truckfighters,
Corrosion Of Conformity, Elder and Steak Number Eight.
Expectations for their debut album where high amongst their ever growing fanbase and
An Evening With Knives has met these expectations with their critically acclaimed album ‘Serrated’
released in 2018 on CD by Argonauta Records (Italy) and on vinyl by Lighttown Fidelity (NL)
“This is how well thought out post-metal should sound”
Aardschok, 80/100
“Tons of atmosphere, delicious buildup and a sound like a skyscraper”
Rocktribune, 9/10
The Serrated tour brought them to great festivals like the illustrious Incubate Festival in
Tilburg and Belgium's Roadkill Festival. Later in 2018 they released their EP ‘Fade Out’
and kept on touring ending their season on a high with a big show at Alcatraz 2019.
Another great Belgium rock festival with a 25.000 attendance.
"Excellent and highly recommended"
Outlaws of the Sun
And the journey continues. March 6, 2020 ‘Sense of Gravity’ sees the light of day in a packed
venue (Effenaar Eindhoven, see picture below). This follow up album brings everything you can
expect from an An Evening With Knives record and more. The band has grown into an even stronger
and imposing powerhouse; taking everything you praised on ‘Serrated’ to the next level.
“Essential for everybody who likes rock to be heavy, raw and honest”
Aardschok, 85/100
'The trio impresses over and over again'...'putting out one of the year’s best albums so far"
Metalblast 90/100
While the live reputation of the band grows, the tree piece decides to record a live album.
Filmed in a surrealistic setting, playing within a circle of 50 amplifiers,
‘FNR Sessions’ gives an intimate view into the intense spirit of the three members,
allowing the viewer to become one to them.
The album, including video recordings, is presented to the world on February 2nd, 2023 through
Argonauta Records. Be sure to check it out, because An Evening With Knives is best served live.
“So intense, so beautiful”
Progwereld 90/100
The band’s evolution continues with their third full-length album, End of Time, arriving on March 14, 2025,
via Electric Spark Records (vinyl) and Argonauta Records (CD).
The band explores heavier and more diverse sonic territory, crafting a record that merges
youthful enthusiasm with artistic maturity.
Lyrically and musically, End of Time is a journey through personal and universal themes,
underscored by psychedelic yet energizing riffs.
