Vederkast - (Norway) Heavyprog or Progmetall?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Would like to suggest the inclusion of Vederkast from Tromsö, Norway. I am not really sure on the subgenre although it's definitively progressive. Maybe Heavy prog or progmetall?  The album has been extremely well received both by the fans and the reviewers alike. The band is currently on a short tour of Europe.

The following is clipped from their bandcamp page:

"Vederkast is a band emerging from prolific music scene of Northern Norway. The members come from diverse musical backgrounds: stoner; metal; hardcore; and pop bands. This experience is forged into melodic, heavy hitting, riff laden stories of loss and redemption on their debut album Northern Gothic. Vederkast is a band emerging from prolific music scene of Northern Norway.

The album is full of forceful musical ambition respectful to, but not bound by, traditional elements of progressive hard rock. The band aims at creating songs that connect to the audience, while at the same time surprising the careful listener. 

The band is based in Tromsø, a town above the Arctic Circle, where dramatic nature has a profound influence on culture. In Northern Norwegian myth vederkast are enchantments that creatures from the underworld wield wilfully upon the innocent.

	Very good music and professional recording. Unsure about the progginess (more towards the stoner side of things) but we will have a good listen, thanks On heavy prog charts
