VREID Check In From The Road; Live Footage From Toronto Posted
August 29, 2011, 12 years ago
Norwegian black metallers VREID kicked off the Black Path Of America Tour 2011 last week in Toronto and though their arrival was met with a series of weather calamities and one canceled show in NYC due to the prospective threat of Hurricane Irene, the band soldiers on.
Commented bassist Hváll: "Our North America tour has been filled with action so far. An earthquake upon arrival, tornados as we entered Toronto and then Irene came and shut down our New York show. Mother Earth has unleashed her wrath upon us this time around. We are extremely disappointed that our New York show got canceled, but be sure that Vreid will return. We kicked ass in Toronto and had a great show; next up was Montreal which was massive. An absolutely fantastic show in all ways. The audience of Montreal has to be one of the most dedicated on this planet. Then we hit Kingston, New York. It was good to see people ignoring the rain and fear of Irene, to come to The Basement to rock like a hurricane. Now we are in Cleveland and ready to give a massive dose of Norwegian metal at Peabodys. We hope the upcoming shows will continue in the same good way as the first three. The audience in North America has once again shown their intense dedication, which makes these shows a blast for us. See you soon."
