The 2018 album "The Aftermath" by German metal/folk band Midnattsol was the group's most recent. The album showcases the band's distinctive sound with a blend of powerful metal and folk-inspired songs. The band's two most recent singles from 2018 are "The Purple Sky" and "Herr Mannelig."

The album's first song, "The Purple Sky," establishes the mood for the rest of the collection with its eerie melodies and powerful guitar riffs. The band's distinctive usage of traditional instruments—including the violin and flute—in this song gives it a distinctive quality. With its catchy melody and pulsating rhythm, "Herr Mannelig" is another memorable hit. The song is a copy of a well-known Swedish folk ballad, but Midnattsol gives it its own unique twist by adding elements of metal to the arrangement.

"The Aftermath" is a strong addition to the Midnattsol discography overall, showing the group's development and improvement since their last record, "The Metamorphosis Melody" in 2011.
