New Hampshire’s darkest export, blackened doom alchemists VATTNET VISKAR, will be hitting the road in support of their Broken Limbs Recordings debut, a self-titled EP that marks the band’s first foray onto vinyl.
They’ll be winding their way down the East Coast, playing with the likes of WOE, TOMB & THIRST, and more, rampaging through the Southeast, then looping back up to wrap things up with al album release show at NYC’s Lit Lounge on March 19th. Catch them while you can!
The record officially drops on March 15, 2012, and is graced with ethereal cover art from San Francisco artist Bryan Proteau, whose gorgeous creations have illustrated DEAFHEAVEN, PALLBEARER, ATRIARCH, LYCUS, and OBOLUS. The album was recorded and mastered by Brett Boland (HETFIELD & HETFIELD).

VATTNET VISKAR recently joined forces with underground music portal Cvlt Nation, who cemented the bonds between the two entities by inviting the VV camp to create an exclusive “mixtape” as part of Cvlt Nation’s ongoing Sonic Cathedrals Mixtape Series. “. The site also recently premiered a track off of the band’s upcoming Broken Limbs Recordings debut.
The band’s previous release, a two song demo, was met with praise by both fans and the press, landing on several “Best of 2011” lists including American Aftermath’s “Top 5 Demos of 2011.” Their new material continues the momentum and malice, as VATTNETVISKAR ready themselves to take their place amongst the best and brightest of a new breed of USBM acolytes.
