Vildhjarta is evolving the genre like Meshuggah did 20 years ago. This is a special time in music

That's exactly what I thought!

Love how they took all the best riffs from Måsstaden and made one supersong of it. Imagine when they do the same for this album in ten years

[@arnoldhagen8577]

In my opinion djent is groovy, fun to play with (usually dreamy)open space ambience, while thall is based on momentum and impact, with an eerie and dark open space ambience. Both are quite complex, but while djent is controlled, thall will usually catch you off guard.

[@02SplinterCell02]

Damn...perfectly stated. I have always said that djent is controlled chaos and thall is chaos controlled, but your description is much more clear

[@billybobthekidiswack]

That's a good definition. I always seen THALL as Djent fused with Avant garde metal (bands like ulcerate, ad nauseam, and deathspell omega)

[@pedropessoa2246]

That's a nice way to put it! Great comment

[@lolh4x]

So Thall is a genre now huh

[@arnoldhagen8577]

If anyone’s wondering the “tweety bird” technique is done by pulling the high e string down around the bottom of the fret and picking In the case of this guitarist who plays upside down it’s up around the fret

[@Blast_HardCheese]

I was wondering that, cause it didn't *quite* sound like a typical volume cut, but I had such a bad habit of pulling the high e off the side when I started playing that using it on purpose would never have crossed my mind

[@Vildhjerta]

2:17 it amazes me, that they don't realize those last 5 low clean notes are from their old song "dagger"

VILDJHARTA IS THE BEST BAND SINCE TOOL!

0:48 The inspiration was most likely inspired by some of John Bauer's artwork. He was a Swedish painter.

[@ricardopieper11]

5:50 he isn't that far off lol, according to some interpretations, at that point of the song, the main character is in the end of it's journey back to måsstadens to find the "umbrella lady" which was his lover in the first album. At the end of the first album he had to leave måsstadens, and left the umbrella lady there. Also in the first album, one interpretation I saw was this song was played at a wedding at måsstadens, which involves the umbrella lady and the tyrant.

Quick thing, this isn't the first thing they've dropped in 10 years, it's the first album they've dropped in 10 years but there was an EP a year or two after the first album. Anyways ive loved vildjharta since the first album and i fucking love this song for taking a 40 second instrumental from the first album and turning it into a fully fleshed out reprise which goes kinda way harder than the original

[@kozhedub]

the little Ddddrt drrrrdrt (3:15) was from the first album too but they switched it up also it's incredible

[@ericthorpe8548]

Dan Sugarman just seems like such a cool dude

[@michaeljohnston8891]

He might be onto the sitar influence. They can have up to 30 strings, with a max of around 9 actually being playable. The other strings are there simply to resonate with the notes being played, and it seems Vildhjarta has always loved to play around with the constructive/deconstructive interference of playing different consonant/dissonant phrases. It’s similar to what you see a lot of black metal bands like Deathspell Omega, Svartidauði, and Yellow Eyes doing, though I think they’re more inspired by how harmonically chaotic black metal already is

[@lineexzi1889]

As a scandinavian It’s hilarious to hear you pronounce vildhjärta lmao
