The Pitch Black Brigade were formed back in 2004 after the demise of legendary Norwegian band Windir. Vreid has marched on ever since without looking back . 4 albums and 200 shows later they have established themselves as a strong force with an unique sound, and a massive live act. They operate in a landscape where Norwegian extreme metal has entwined with classic rock rooted from the 70ties & 80ties, and has been dubbed as Black & Roll. Their latest Album “Milorg”, released through Indie Recordings early 2009, has become their greatest success and a monument for the band. The press gave it raving reviews, and the band worked the album by doing more than 50 shows. They did an headlining European Tour, joined Death metal veterans Pestilence as special guest on their comeback tour, played main stage at major festivals such as Wacken, Brutal Assault, Zwarte Cross, Summer Breeze, Inferno & Oslo Live, as well as doing a very successful 4 weeks North America Tour.

For 2010 the band will do some selected shows like the Bylarm in Norway, Metal Hammer Fest UK, Metal Royale Festival Denmark, Ragnarok Festival Germany, Fiesta Pagana Festival Switzerland to name some, while they are working hard on their 5th Opus, that will be out early 2011. The band are also putting their last touch on their first DVD. The DVD is entitled “Vreid Goddamnit” and contains their complete show at Inferno/Rockefeller in Oslo April 2009, as well as loads of extra material. The DVD will hit the streets this autumn.
