After releasing their self-titled EP last year to critical acclaim, New Hampshire's VATTNET VISKAR is now ready to unleash their debut full-length album, Sky Swallower, this fall via Century Media Records. Due out September 9rth in Europe, "Sky Swallower" was recorded at Universal Noise Storage with producer Brett Boland at the helm and features eight tracks of crushingly ambient, blackened doom metal. Already leaving a media buzz in its wake, "Sky Swallower" promises to earn the quartet "album of the year" accolades once again.
Hailing from the small town of Plaistow, New Hampshire, VATTNET VISKAR is anything but small. Formed in the fall of 2010, the band has quickly risen amongst the ranks of US black metal acts with their self-titled EP, which was named one of the best metal albums of 2012 by Pitchfork.com, Stereogum.com, and countless others. Not content to keep their blackened-doom alchemy confined to the studio, however, they back it up with a thundering live performance. Having already shared the stage with such titans as BLACK ANVIL, INQUISITION and WOODS OF YPRES, they have left their mark throughout the US with a seemingly endless string of shows, including a stop at last year's SXSW festival, playing three shows throughout the event.

VATTNET VISKAR’s brooding take on blackened atmospheric doom metal perfectly mirrors their organic approach to their craft. Following a well received two-song demo in 2011, they have released a self-titled EP, available at their Bandcamp page (http://vattnetviskar.bandcamp.com/), that has been met with praise from both fans and the press alike. “On their debut EP…they had me hooked in a matter of seconds and salivating by the end of its 27 minutes. It's an assured offering for such a young band,” lauds Brandon Stosuy of Pitchfork.com.
