The day is here!
Fredlös, their self-titled debut album filled with epic tales of strife and turmoil, is unleashed. With a deep sense of historical roots and a love of dark sounds, they create the landscape that is Fredlös. Blend heavy guitars with traditional instruments and a need to relate history true to the facts. The result is a brooding yet effortlessly melodic sound where the listener can survive and thrive in the dark through nine dark, heavy, intense songs.
Fredlös is a new tribute to the Swedish Norrtelje (northern Stockholm region) sound fronted by Wormwood and Månegarm. Erik Grawsiö (Månegarm) is a featured guest vocalist on 2 tracks and Alex Hellid (Entombed) could not help but outright join the movement.

Alex comments: “This is a game changer. I could not resist. Fredlös is a tour de force that defies any one description, weaving metal, rock, folk, and traditional music themes into a rich and varied tapestry.”
Tomas comments: “We’ve poured our souls into this album. Lyrically the album is a journey through the late Middle Ages, recounting the historical events from the perspective of the common people. Welcome to the world Fredlös!”
Robert comments: “It is a truly great feeling now that our album is released in its entirety. Strap on your headphones, turn out the light, and let yourself be swallowed by the dark, swirling, dynamic, beauty that introduces the first chapter of Fredlös.”
Fredlös came together in the Spring of 2021, rising from the ashes of previous musical adventures, based in the country around Norrtalje, northeast of Stockholm. United by a deep sense of their historical roots and a love of dark sounds, they create a truly epic landscape, blending heavy guitars with more traditional instruments and a need to relate history true to the facts. The result is a brooding yet effortlessly melodic sound where the listener can survive and thrive in the dark.
Lyrically the album is a journey through the late Middle Ages, recounting the historical events from the perspective of the common people. Musically it’s a tour de force that defies any one description, weaving metal, rock, folk, and traditional music themes into a rich and varied tapestry.
