[PRESS RELEASE]

Swedish djentlemen VILDHJARTA recently released their full-length debut, måsstaden, to critics' delight, winning over skeptics with their sheer heaviness and structured, progressive chaos. To show off their technical prowess, the band's own Daniel Bergström has now launched a guitar play-through of the track "benblåst", which can be viewed [below]:

VILDHJARTA's måsstaden earned the coveted title of #1 album of 2011 on Got-Djent.com, plus received rave reviews from the press. Read on for a few critics' takes on the album:

"...'måsstaden' proves that VILDHJARTA not only know exactly what they are doing, but also that they are capable of making focused, engrossing and fantastic music...When this officially drops, you cannot ignore it." -- GOT-DJENT.COM

"The trio's 3D riffs and echoplexing strums, plucks and soundtrack work are absolutely alien...'Dagger', 'When No One Walks with You' and 'The Lone Deranger' position VILDHJARTA as untouchable, forward-'thrilling' Swedes..." -- DECIBEL MAGAZINE

"An ambitious math-metal stew (or is it slough?). With this many personnel and four years in the making, there is much to feast the ears on. Amazingly, the unrelentingly dark mood never gets in the way of VILDHJARTA's intricate beauty." -- DRUM! MAGAZINE

"The math metal of MESHUGGAH meets the atmospheric prog of OPETH." -- REVOLVER MAGAZINE

måsstaden is available on iTunes here for $7.99 with two exclusive bonus tracks ("All for the Sake", "Of Others"), so download your copy today!

[PRESS RELEASE]

It is with great pleasure that Century Media announces the worldwide signing of Swedish progenitors, VILDHJARTA! One of the most respected bands in the scene today, VILDHJARTA mixes ambient, peaceful moments with brutal and dark music to create some of the most awe inspiring and unique musical output in modern metal.

Hyped since their early days, thanks to short demos that circulated the web amongst fans of groove metal, they have taken more than half a decade to musically advance to a point where their unexpected endeavors leave the listener in a state of blissful confusion. After years of courting, VILDHJARTA now joins forces with metal label giant Century Media and will be unleashing a new full length in the coming months. The band had this to say in regards to the singing:

"THALL"
