about

Vredehammer’s combination of aggressive guitars and masterful songwriting has rewarded the band with a loyal fanbase around the world.
When it comes to extreme metal from Norway, Vredehammer is one of the best!

Now in 2023, Vredehammer, the mighty force from the deepest North finally returns with music that truly showcase the band's technical prowess, through ferocious drumming, intricate guitar work, and haunting vocals. With one of Scandinavias best BM drummers, Nils "Dominator" Fjellström on drums, combined with the unparalleled music songwriting and guitar skills of Per Valla this is truly a track that will blast you through the winter.

The track titled The Joker is the first new music to be released by Vredehammer since the release of the album Viperous in 2020.

Per Valla comment:
"The Joker is Vredehammer’s ode to the 90’s swedish death metal scene. Heavy guitars riffs, groovy drum parts and ofcourse skank beats!”

lyrics

Lyrics:

Enter state
Thoughts escape
See no pain
Grief restrained
Chained and led
Words are fed
Mass-produced
Shaped like clay
Kneel before the chosen ones
The watchers of the horde
Tame the beast and tear him down
The joker bears the crown.
Kneel before the chosen ones
The watchers of the horde
Tame the beast and tear him down
The joker bears the crown
Bound to stay
Tamed, encaged
Mass-induced
As your slaves
Kneel before the chosen ones
The watchers of the horde
Tame the beast and tear him down
The joker bears the crown
A constant battle for acceptance
A weak soul on his knees
With an urge to be seen
And the whore spreads disease
The altered state,
Where i evade
Elusive games
I'm not afraid
Behind the veil, a puppeteer
And we are anchored, firmly to the source
Electric circuits wield my hands
And to his sick commands they obey
Chained and led
Words are fed
Mass-produced
Shaped like clay
The joker bears the crown
The joker bears the crown
