Imagine a world where honey is the currency that kingdoms kill for. Now imagine the soundtrack to this depraved, ferocious exploitation of a natural resource is medieval black metal! Look no further than VIGLJOS, who’s fiercely buzzing guitars and shrieking vocals pair with eerie, fantastical visuals to create their first offering, the video for their self titled track “Vígljós”! Their debut album Tome I: apidae came out on on May 11th via Dusktone Records — get it here. Check out our exclusive premiere of VIGLJOS video for their track “Vígljós” right here and now…
Witness a band of fearless apiarists embarking on a journey to slay the
evil hay king who’s abusing his power to satisfy his greed for honey.Passing harsh and barren landscapes, our heroes seek advise from an old
being in the heart of the mountains themselves. As it leads them the
way, they prepare for the inevitable confrontation. Only armed with
their confidence they breach the walls of the hay kings hive and slay
him and his guards, bringing an end to his mischief.
His victims are freed and his hive burned to the ground.
