VREID Check In From ENSLAVED European Tour

March 4, 2005

VREID, the new Norwegian band formed by former WINDIR members Hváll (bass),Steingrim (drums) and Sture (vocals, guitar),are in the middle of a European tour as the support act for ENSLAVED. The following tour report was posted on the group's official web site:

"After a horrible start with the ultimate shitty tour-bus, things got better when we got a new luxurious nightliner after the show in Rosenheim. Our new bus driver Tony Adams provided us with the best facilities since we left Norway.

"Unfortunately all of VREID got serious ill sleeping in the infested bus the so-called Vikings ENSLAVED provided. But as soon as the stereo farting of Seg-Cato and Fet-Grutle from Poland had reached its climax, the conditions were so horrific that a new bus had to be required.

"Germany had its ups and downs with Jena and Hamburg being the highlights. The next stop was Holland and its famous ShoffeCups. Hooking up with the Dutch fans was great. Special thanks to Metal Hammer journalist Gunnar Sauercraut for trying to infect VREID once again with his so-called brew — whiskey. The infamous whiskey lovers of ENSLAVED: Herbrand Kråkevik, Ivar Medås, Arve Oppsal, Cato Zahl Pedersen and Sulfest Grutle were horrified.

"The London and Paris shows were fantastic….so far the highlight of the tour.

"After playing Rennes, VREID did four shows in Spain before having a well deserved two days off in Barcelona."
