Norwegians Vreid will launch a second attack on US dark metal fans with the release of their latest collection of dark metal sounds, "Pitch Black Brigade."

The band's US label, Candlelight USA will issue the record on May 16th, calling the album "a giant leap for the four-piece."

Said to be similar to the band's previous effort "Kraft", "Pitch Black Brigade" once again features both English and Norwegian lyrics, giving the band's warlike rumblings a particularly singular quality.
