BERGSVRIDEN
I Haggans Afton

Bergsvriden is a folk inspired black metal band formed in 2013 by Anton "Trollmania" Tordås in Sweden. The main idea was to create a grim and swampy sound by combining old school black metal with the horrifying aspects of scandinavian folklore. The name is a combination of the word “Berg”- a mountain, and “Vriden” – which means something like “twisted/grotesque/insane”. The first release was an EP in 2015 called “I vitterhetens becksvarta gömmen” followed by two full length albums in 2017 and 2019 titled “Helsemyr” and "Skogens trolska fasa" which was released independently. In 2019 "Gastkramad" was released by Northern Fog records. They continue on the black and folk tread that the band is known for, but with a significant change in quality. With this release on Dusktone Bergsvriden was brought to a whole other level and have proven to be more than just another local band. What has been brought to life from Scandinavia and Finland cannot be stopped by trends or shifts in the music market and there’s still a burning, quite sinister school of folk and black metal around. Bergsvriden are here to prove it!
