VREID To Support PESTILENCE In Europe

February 23, 2009

VREID, the Norwegian band formed by former WINDIR members Hváll (bass),Steingrim (drums) and Sture (vocals, guitar),will support resurrected Dutch extreme metallers PESTILENCE on their upcoming European tour.

VREID bassist Hváll states: "PESTILENCE is one of those dinosaurs that will never die. They have been away for 15 years, but are now back stronger than ever. Back in the early '90s, PESTILENCE, DEATH and CARCASS were top notch in my book, and songs like 'Out Of The Body', 'Twisted Truth' and 'Parracide' are timeless classics. Some weeks ago we were asked to join the PESTILENCE reunion European tour as special guests. This is a great honour for us."

He continued, "We have just finished a tremendous European tour with KAMPFAR and ISKALD. We did not know what to expect as this was a headliner tour, but the response was amazing. The venues were crowded, the audience gave us killer feedback, and the shows in London, Paris and Bischofswerda were some of the highlights. The new songs were working out very well live, and the live set these days is without doubt the strongest set ever.

"The Skogstur was the first part of the Milorg tour 2009. The second part will start at the Inferno festival in Oslo, and from there we go to London with PESTILENCE. The PESTILENCE tour will once again bring us to the great rock cities of Paris and London, as well as new venues in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Italy and Switzerland."

"Milorg" was released in Norway on January 5, 2009 via Indie Recordings (January 19 in the rest of Europe). The cover artwork was designed by PC Groove.
