Biography
Hváll formed a new band consisting of the three Windir members Hváll (bass), Steingrim (drums), Sture (vocals/guitar) and a new guitarist named Ese. Ese has been a close friend of the Vreid members for years, and he was co-engineer on Windir’s Likferd album.
Hváll wrote most of the material for the debut album entitled Kraft. The lyrics are in both Norwegian and English. Kraft was released by Tabu Records in 2004.
Vreid’s second album, Pitch Black Brigade, was also released by Tabu Records, on March 27, 2006.
The band released their third album, I Krig (At War), through Indie Records in May / June, 2007. All the lyrics on this record are based on poems from 1946 by Gunnar Reiss-Andersen, a member of the Norwegian resistance fighters during WWII. This makes the album almost a concept album about war.
In 2009 after releasing their fourth full-length album Milorg, Ese left the band and was replaced by Stian “Strom” Bakketeig, the former Windir and Ulcus guitarist. Bakketeig plays guitar in Cor Scorpii and Mistur as well. Much like I Krig, Milorg contains songs about the Norwegian resistance.
In 2010, they released their first DVD called "Vreid Goddamnit" which contains live recordings filmed at Inferno Festival. On the same year, they released their first single entitled "Noen Å Hate", a cover of a Raga Rockers song.
On February 7, 2011, Vreid released their fifth album entitled "V".
In 2013 Vreid released their sixth album called "Welcome Farewell"
In October, 2015, Vreid released their seventh album entitled "Sólverv".
