Vreid release new music video for ‘The Morning Red’

VREID have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Morning Red, is the latest single taken from the Norwegian black ‘n’ roll band’s upcoming new album which is scheduled to be released in April this year. The upcoming album is not just a collection of songs, but a concept album that developed alongside an entire movie.

Speaking about the new song, songwriter and bassist Jarle Hváll Kvåle says, The Morning Red is one our heaviest songs ever and clearly shows that our musical DNA is rooted in the 70/80s classical heavy rock coated with Nordic blackness. A blueprint of our eternal creative duality of melancholia and primal aggression. The backdrop for our new music video The Morning Red, which is also the centerpiece of our full movie, Wild North West, is this haunted architectural eagle´s nest. The more than 100-year-old sanatorium lies completely isolated in the mountainside above the world’s longest fjord, Sognefjorden. Once built to shield people from infectious diseases and later the asylum of the Wild North West, it became our creative center during the pandemic. With the world closed down, we admitted ourselves to one of Scandinavia’s most mythical and majestic buildings to record the movie. The massive building has been abandoned for almost 30 years, and the harsh climate has taken its toll as the building is being consumed by nature. The history and destinies that these roughed walls embrace are fascinating, vile and dark to say the least, and with Wild North West, we have become a part of this majestic white castle’s history.”

Wild North West is set for release on April 30th via Season of Mist. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
