Vattnet Viskar is an American metal band. Formed in 2010, they play a blend of Sludge and Atmospheric Black Metal. They have released two EP’s since their formation, with plans to write a full length in 2011. Drawing influences from crucial Sludge, and Black Metal bands, Vattnet Viskar hopes to create a musical experience like no other.

VATTNET VISKAR signs worldwide deal with Century Media Records

Hailing from the small town of Plaistow, New Hampshire, VATTNET VISKAR is anything but small. Formed in the fall of 2010, the band has quickly risen amongst the ranks of US black metal acts.

VATTNET VISKAR’s brooding take on blackened atmospheric doom metal perfectly mirrors their organic approach to their craft. Following a well received two-song demo in 2011, they have released a self-titled EP, available at their Bandcamp page(embed: http://vattnetviskar.bandcamp.com/), that has been met with praise from both fans and the press alike. “On their debut EP…they had me hooked in a matter of seconds and salivating by the end of its 27 minutes. It’s an assured offering for such a young band,” lauds Brandon Stosuy of Pitchfork.com.

Not content to keep their blackened-doom alchemy confined to the studio, however, they back it up with a thundering live performance. Having already shared the stage with such titans as BLACK ANVIL, INQUISITION and WOODS OF YPRES, they have left their mark up and down the east coast with a seemingly endless string of shows— and soon, VATTNET VISKAR’s name will spread across the rest of the country. A full US tour is already being planned for later this year, but the band has a few shows confirmed so far for 2012:

VATTNET VISKAR live 2012
6/10—Worcester Death Fest (w/ SIX FEET UNDER, DYING FETUS, REVOCATION and more)—The Palladium, Worcester, MA
9/6-8—Hopscotch Music Fest (w/ BARONESS, SUNN O))), ALTAR OF PLAGUES, YOUNG AND IN THE WAW and more)—Raleigh, NC

Vattnet Viskar sounds like the name of a shady arms dealer in the Star Wars universe.

I like the way you think.

Also, this band is good stuff. More blast-beating and less atmospheric than WITTR and such, but such comparisons are not misleading.

They actually started off as a joke band. They were all doing hardcore projects and such before this.

Ironic joke black metal band. Consists of hardcore kids. Being jocked by Pitchfork. SO CVLT111
