Hudiksvall, Sweden (2005 – present)

Vildhjarta is a band from Hudiksvall, Sweden that formed in 2005. They play an aggressive Meshuggah-influenced style, characterised by harmonic minor progressions, jarring inharmonic staccato riffs, raspy whisper-screams interwoven with death growls, and layers of reverberant guitars. They were signed to Century Media Records in 2011. The band’s name, Vildhjarta, originates from a Swedish edition of Dungeons & Dragons with the same name. Vildhjärta with umlauts means “wild heart” in Swedish.

Vildhjarta was formed by Daniel Bergström, Jimmie Åkerström and Johan Nyberg in 2005 in Hudiksvall, Sweden. Hyped since their early days thanks to short demos that circulated the web, they have taken more than half a decade to musically craft their style of music. With the three spread throughout Sweden, Bergström, the main songwriter of the bunch, would email ideas to the others to get their feedback and suggestions. A groovy, down-tuned riff would soon become a verse. After a few more rounds of emailing, that verse would become a song. As more and more songs started to develop, the natural progression was to add more members and become a band. More members brought more input and ideas and soon their own take on metal was created.

As the songs developed and appeared online, so did a rabid fan base. They spread links to the band’s songs, promoted them on message boards and rallied behind the war cry of THALL, a word that has almost become synonymous with the band’s name.

    This is somewhere between Meshuggah and Ion Dissoance I think. But whereever this is, the place is awesome. I really like what I'm hearing here, I gotta buy that album.

    K, I just discovered these guys a few days ago... They pwnd my face off, and I lost it... This is very well thought out music. I have great expectations for Vildhjarta. I equate them to a meaner Meshuggah + Opeth + Becoming The Archetype musically.
