Vildhjarta announce new album ‘måsstaden under vatten’

VILDHJARTA have announced a new album!

Titled måsstaden under vatten, the upcoming album from the Swedish progressive metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s Måsstaden and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Century Media Records.

The news of the new album comes on the back of the release of the single, när de du älskar kommer tillbaka från de döda, which also appears on the new album.

Since dropping a minute of new live music in 2016, the band’s focus has almost entirely been on the new album with drummer and now noted producer, Buster Odeholm (also known for his work with BORN OF OSIRIS, SHADOW OF INTENT and drumming with HUMANITY’S LAST BREATH amongst others) heavily involved in the production, mixing and mastering of the music. Visual artist Rickard Westman, who did art for VILDHJARTA‘s debut as well as their Thousands of Evils EP in 2013 has also returned to the equation to reprise his disturbing visual iconography.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released not one, but two, new songs from the upcoming album; kaos2 and toxin.
