VILDHJARTA - Dagger

-->Vildhjarta is a progressive metal band from Hudiksvall, Sweden. They play an aberrant Meshuggah-influenced djent style, characterised by harmonic minor progressions, jarring inharmonic staccato riffs, a fry vocalist, a death growl vocalist, and layers of reverberant guitars. They were signed toCentury Media Records in 2011. The band's name, Vildhjarta, originates from the Swedish role-playing game Drakar och Demoner. Vildhjärta 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.
