Norwegian black metallers VREID have issued the following update:

"We are proud to announce that we will do our first European headline tour. The "Northern Brigade Tour 2007", presented by Rock Hard Magazine, will kick of at the Ragnaròk Festival in Lichtenfels, Germany, Friday, March 30th and will bring Vreid to Germany, Belgium, Holland and the UK. Check out the Gig section for concert details.

Joining us as special guest will be BATTERED, the crushing trash metal assault rising from the demise of legendary EINHERJER, and IN VAIN, one of Norway's most promising bands these days with their progressive blackness.

More info can be found at www.battered.no and www.invain.org

Make sure that you don't miss this great package! Vreid are surely looking forward doing a new European tour, and especially with the possibility of bringing our own production.

For questions, interviews or booking for the tour, send requests to hvall@vreid.no

In the middle of January we did our first US show at the annual Heathen Crusade festival. A big thanks to the organizers, and all the fans, that made this a brilliant night! We hope to be returning to the US later this year.

This weekend we have finished the recording sessions of our third album I Krig (In War). It will be a beast of an album!! The mix will be done at the end of the month in Subsonic Society Studio, and hopefully we will be able to give you some teasers on this page during March. Those attending the Northern Brigade tour will also have the unique chance to hear some of the new material live before the album hit the stores.

Our new label has been clear since December, and it will be announced shortly. The label wants to launch the signing of Vreid themselves, so until then...

All right, spread the word of the Northern Brigade Tour, and we will see you on the road soon!"
