Vreid release new music video for ‘Kraken’

VREID have released a new music video!

The new single, Kraken, arrives as the official soundtrack to Nordisk Film’s upcoming feature of the same name. Rooted in the band’s signature Sognametal sound, the instrumental track channels ancient myth, blackened atmospheres and the looming awakening at the core of the film’s narrative. The new single is taken from the band’s upcoming new album, The Skies Turn Black, which is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Indie Recordings.

Speaking about the collaboration, producer Einar Loftesnes says, “the song that Kvåle has written for this movie is the quintessential soundtrack of Sogn. This VREID song captures the essence of Sognametal, the Kraken legend and creates the perfect sonic landscape of the dark nature where both elements originated and have blended together.”

Songwriter Jarle Kvåle adds, “growing up by the Sognefjord at times felt like growing up in a David Lynch world. Einar has taken that atmosphere through his many projects and wrapped Sogn into that world. It was an absolute privilege to write music for the universe he has created, and I am proud that VREID is now a part of this cinematic world.”
