Vildhjarta

Vildhjarta, an acclaimed progressive metal group hailing from Hudiksvall Municipality, Sweden, have carved an influential niche within the djent and metal genres since forming in 2005. Their complex rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes have garnered a dedicated following and established them as pioneers in the Scandinavian metal scene. With an approach that pushes the boundaries of heavy music, Vildhjarta balance intensity and subtlety, delivering sophisticated arrangements that reward close listening.

The band’s recent live music activity underscores their commanding presence on stage. In October 2026, Vildhjarta performed as a key support act for Humanity's Last Breath across several renowned UK venues, including The Fleece in Bristol, Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, The Bread Shed in Manchester, and the O2 Academy Islington in London. These concerts further demonstrated their powerful live reputation and commitment to delivering technically impressive sets alongside distinguished peers in the metal community.

Looking ahead, Vildhjarta are set to bring their dynamic sound to even larger audiences, supporting Meshuggah for “The Forty Year Anomaly” shows at OVO Arena Wembley in London and 3Arena in Dublin in October 2027, with Periphery also on the bill.
