Vreid - Wild North West (2021)

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.
