Returning after a five-year hiatus, Vreid's tenth studio album 'The Skies Turn Black' sees the band reconnecting with their Sognametal origins while simultaneously expanding their sonic palette. The record merges the cold fury of Norwegian black metal with the melodic sensibilities of classic heavy metal, 70s rock, and even gothic undertones, creating a sound that is both aggressive and atmospheric. Featuring deeply personal themes, including a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, and cinematic instrumental work, the album stands as a powerful statement of resilience and creative reinvigoration.
