Norwegian black ‘n’ roll band Vreid have only been around for a few short years, but they have already managed to release four albums in this limited time, with the latest of these outputs being 2009’s “Milorg”.
In this album Vreid have continued on with their usual lyrical themes of war, but this time are focusing on the German invasion of Norway during World War II and Norway’s fight against the invading army. The tracks throughout the album each focus on a specific area of events that occurred in Norway during this time, whether it be the opening invasion (e.g. Alarm), resistance (e.g. Speak Goddamnit, Milorg) or other various situations (e.g. Disciplined). In the booklet that comes with the album, as well as containing lyrics for each track, there is a detailed description of the events behind each track, so the listener can understand the context of where the band is coming from with their lyrics.
On to the actual music, Vreid have continued with their usual black ‘n’ roll style while including thrash and punk influences, but they seem to have taken the musicianship up another level for “Milorg”. No two songs sound the same on this album, and while the songs each follow their own individual structure, they all fit into this album seamlessly. This black ‘n’ roll style also fits in very well with the subject matter dealt with in the lyrics.
On certain versions of “Milorg” there is also a cover of the Seigmen track Skjebnen, which is taken from their 1992 release “Pluto”. This cover fits in well enough with the album, as Vreid have done a good job of making the song sound like their own.
Overall this is a very good release by Vreid, and is recommended for anyone who enjoys black metal, rock ‘n’ roll, or has an open mind towards trying new things.
