Vígljós

Ancient beekeeping black metal. An eerie buzz is growing louder from the Swiss city of Basel. Historically known for its century-long commitment to humanism and for being a safe haven to notable people such as Nietzsche, Jung, and Hesse, Basel is now the place where the black metal band Vígljós has established its hive.

According to the band, it had “everything that we felt was contained within our music: the horror, the craze, mystery, and beauty of his work was a perfect match.
