An album born from challenge and reinvention
The band describes the creation of the upcoming album The Skies Turn Black as one of the most demanding, yet rewarding, processes in their history as a band. What began with inspiration shifted into a difficult period where communication and direction faltered. Through persistence and recalibration, the band emerged with eleven songs that reflect both struggle and artistic renewal. Five years after their previous album, Vreid stand firmly behind the new material. They highlight the strength of the songwriting, the production shaped together with producer Anders Nordengen, and the handcrafted artwork by Kim Holm. Most importantly, the band feels they have created an album that represents some of their finest work and a meaningful evolution in their long career. The Skies Turn Black arrives on March 6th, 2026, as Vreid prepares to bring their new material back to European stages. In 2026, the band will join Hypocrisy, Abbath and Vomitory for a major European tour that will take their signature sound to many of the continent’s most celebrated metal cities. The album is available for pre-order from December 10th. |
