Per Valla Launches New Band
In April 2015, it was announced that Abbath (ex-Immortal frontman) had recruited members to his new band, specifically King Ov Hell from God Seed and drummer Creature. He also recruited Vredehammer guitarist / vocalist Per Valla for touring.
However, in December of 2015 it was announced that Norwegian session member Per Valla had left the band for personal reasons.
Sitting on many songs and riffs of his own, Per decided to launch his new project, simply titled Valla. He had this to say about the new endeavor:
“The plan is to do this project a little against the current. The music business is just so messed up today and because of that I will record at home and release this on YouTube. If anyone wants to buy the music, they can download it directly from me for 1 euro per song. This way I don`t have to give 99% of everything to Spotify or other services. It`s just not fair!” More...

It's been months in the making, but the schedule for Blastfest 2016 is complete. Now in its third year, the Bergen festival has not only put together yet another incredible lineup, but also one in which will be a one-time-only celebration of the Norwegian scene.
A 100% Norwegian lineup, which includes the likes of Abbath, Arcturus, Taake, 1349, Gorgoroth and even some rare appearances from the likes of Green Carnation. Blastfest 2016 will be a truly memorable occasion, with chief and owner Yngve Christiansen comments:
"2016 will be a very special festival edition with a lineup consisting solely of Norwegian bands. The bands represented at Blastfest are the legends, those from the beginning, the ones who made it evolve... the ones who disappeared... the ones who never stopped... the ones whom you should have heard more about... and the ones you will hear about. We have done our best to make a strong lineup representing Norway in the best possible way." More...

Vredehammer Posts Year-End Message
Per Valla of Norwegian outfit Vredehammer has checked in with the following year-end announcement:
"So what has 2013 done for Vredehammer? This year we decided it was time to step out of our shells, leave the rehearsal-room, grab life by the balls and take our place in the international metal scene.
"We did our first live show in Trondheim, Norway in April this year. We managed to sign with a great label, (Indie Recordings). And our second live show ever was the first gig of a ten day tour as co-headliner with Six Feet Under. That`s not a bad accomplishment in one year I guess.
"Next year we will release the first full-length Vredehammer album, and we will hopefully do a couple of tours. We HOPE to get the chance to play at some metal festivals, but most of them are already packed, so only time will tell what happens.
"Anyways, I'm sure we will grow bigger and stronger through the course of 2014. And for those of you who are supporting us: Thank you SO much! See you around in 2014 metalheads!"
