VILDHJARTA – Dagger (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Vildhjarta, a band from Hudiksvall, Sweden that emerged in 2005, delivers hefty progressive metal.

While heavily influenced by Nordic titans Meshuggah, they craft a deep, distinctive world through their own down-tuning and harmonic minor chord progressions.

Since signing with Century Media Records in 2011, their sound has steadily evolved, even coining their unique aesthetic, “thall.” Derived from a World of Warcraft character name, the term has become a widely recognized meme symbolizing their musical style.

Recommended for those drawn to the fusion of massive riffs and lyrical melodies, and for listeners who enjoy progressive song development.
