"The Skies Turn Black" is a CD release by Norwegian black 'n' roll band Vreid, showcasing their signature blend of melodic black metal, cold atmosphere and rock-infused riffing. Across this album, Vreid combine icy tremolo guitars, driving mid-tempo grooves and harsh, commanding vocals to create a sound that is both epic and immediately accessible. The songs move between aggressive, storm-like passages and more melodic, reflective sections, evoking images of Nordic landscapes, war-torn histories and existential struggle. "The Skies Turn Black" is aimed at listeners who appreciate black metal with strong songcraft, memorable hooks and a modern yet organic production that allows every instrument its space. The CD format offers a coherent, immersive listening experience, ideal for fans who value complete albums rather than isolated tracks.

Over the years they have released a series of well-regarded albums and toured widely, earning a loyal international following.
