Vried is the name of a new band featuring the three remaining members of Norwegian black-metal act Windir along with longtime friend Ese on guitar. The group recently signed a three-album deal with Tabu Recordings and will release their debut album "Kraft" on October 25. The sound is described as a continuation of what bassist Hváll did with his other acts Windir and Ulcus, but with "its own personal sound — a mixture of the ambience of Windir, the rawness of Norwegian black metal and the rocking groove of Motörhead."
