Vreid

Norwegian metal stalwarts VREID pay tribute to their homeland with their epic new full-length, ‘Wild North West.’

Inspired by both true events and pure imagination, the album takes the listener on a whirlwind of a journey, diving deep into themes of war, fear, betrayal, loss, anxiety, and madness with thought-provoking lyrics that embody human nature.
It captures the Nordic heart at the core of their sound, taking cues from Norway’s rugged landscape as it ricochets between eternal darkness and the solace of bracing light.

The spiritual successor to the legendary WINDIR, VREID have since championed the majesty and tradition of melodic black metal, and given it a unique rock edge. Tracks such as "One Hundred Years", "Dead White" and "Black Rites in the Black Nights" sees the band blend triumphant lead guitars with sombre melodies and ferocious blast beats. 'LIFEHUNGER' is truly extreme metal devoid of genre convention, and redefines darkness within its metallic grandeur.
