Vreid - 'Shadowland' (official video)
Trees that have sheltered
Now cut to the ground
They no longer whisper
As they are dragged
Over ancestors’ burial mound
Split and planed
Their beauty revealed
The nails bind the wood
A coffin complete
A casket for the body
A journey for the soul
In these landscapes of death
The return to home
Light and shadows
Move side by side
A life without shadows
Is a lifeless ride
All colours faded
A Kingdome in decay
The loved ones long gone
Their spirits chased away
The stars shine silent
The eagle circling prays
As pale as winter
Night has become day
The path has led way
Home to the ground
Echoes of animals screams
Natures mourning sound
The mountains grey of sorrow
The river runs dry
The shadows come full circle
Death embraced life

Death embraced life
Το 1994 σχηματίσθηκαν στην Νορβηγία οι Windir. Viking Metal συγκρότημα το οποίο διαλύθηκε το 2004 λόγω του θανάτου του Valfar. Τα εναπομείναντα μέλη δημιούργησαν τους Vreid. Η μπάντα χαρακτηρίζει την μουσική της ως "Black 'n' Roll" κι έχει κυκλοφορήσει εννέα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (και μπόλικα singles). Ο ένατος και πλέον πρόσφατος φέρει τον τίτλο "Wild North West" και "βγήκε" τον περασμένο Απρίλη...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Norwegian black 'n roll brigade Vreid have returned with their ninth album 'Wild North West' on which the band pushed their vision to new heights. 'Wild North West' is not just a collection of songs but a concept album that developed alongside an entire movie. Throughout eight chapters the listener will be taken on a journey deep into the mountains, to a dark place where the borders between reality and fantasy fade and where death is only one step behind you: The Wild North West.»
