We are happy to announce that as of last Saturday Vetrar Draugurinn has signed a deal with Dutch upcoming record label Painted Bass for the release of their full length album “Hinterlands” in March 2019.

During a special moment at this year’s FemME festival Eric (Vetrar Draugurinn) and Peter (Painted Bass) signed the contract under the watchful eyes of Katja (JBM Events), Joey (Painted Bass) and our very own Marjan.

In the upcoming months the band will put the finishing touches on the artwork for the album (and some for the new shirts), before the whole business side of things will take over. We will keep you up to date!

We can announce that we will play a special show on Sunday December 30th at De Schakel in Budel-Dorplein. We were invited by some old friends and we are happy oblige. This show will be a stripped down, atmospheric show with old and new songs, plus a few nice surprises. Not a full-blown acoustic show, yet not a regular full-electric one either. No drumkit, no distorted guitars. We hope to see you all there, and maybe we will make it a tradition. All in all, a nice way to end the year and prepare for the assault that is coming early 2019…

Summer is almost done and so is the mixing of our debut album. It’s been a hard task, but we think the result is great. 11 Grand songs that live up to our expectations. We hope it will please you as well.
While we are busy arranging and negotiating all kinds of agreements in the background to make this release happen the way it deserves, we also planned a gig to get back into the swing of things. On November 3rd we will be supporting Wintersun on their exclusive request show at Fluor, Amersfoort. We will play some of the new tracks.
To make things even more exciting we added 2 new band photos to this site. To give you an idea how things are looking at the moment.
Your patience will be rewarded. More news soon.

Summer is gone. And we’re preparing for our next journey. There are 12 songs at the moment that we are preparing for recording; to be included in our debut album. Some are completely finished, some need more work. All are very much Vetrar Draugurinn.
Now that are group of musicians has officially expanded to 5 with the inclusion of Arjan Heijden on bass (as a replacement for Douwe de Wilde) and Thomas Cochrane (who was already our live guitarist) we are gearing up to perfect and test the new songs and crank out the older songs.
After the recording of our debut album we will take some time to look for an interested company that might want to release the album. If that doesn’t bear fruit we will probably release it through Dark Skies Coming Recordings…
We will keep you updated!
The Winter Cold is coming closer…

We can officially announce today that VETRAR DRAUGURINN has been confirmed to appear at next year’s edition of the FemME Metal Event in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. We will make sure that we make the ground shake with our heavy, low-tuned doom-y melancholic metal… Hope to see you all there, as this festival is a great one to add to your list.

Thank you all who showed their trust and support by pledging for our crowdfunding campaign. Being an independent band is hard work and we our incredibly grateful that all of you are on our side. We surpassed our goal with still 2 weeks left on our campaign. We hope that this will secure some more trust in everyone who hasn’t pledged (but want to). The manufacturing of our EP has become 100% certain.
We are humbled… grateful… and enjoyed by what the future might bring.
