Additional notes
"Midnattsol" is Norwegian for 'midnight sun'.

Although their sound can be classified as symphonic metal, the band prefers to call their style 'Nordic folk metal' because of the folk elements in their music and occasional Norwegian lyrics.

Carmen Elise Espenęs is the sister of Liv Kristine Espenęs Krull (ex-Theatre of Tragedy, now in Leaves' Eyes). Liv is married to Alexander Krull (Leaves' Eyes, Atrocity (Deu)) and he, being Carmen Elise's brother-in-law, produced Midnattsol's first album (and their demo as well).
