We zijn gewoon vanuit Noorwegen de meest brutale, aggressieve en toch vrij melodieuze Black Metal over ons heen gekipt te krijgen. Prog echter, behoudens invloeden in bovenvermeld genre, dat is andere koek en dus weten we niet goed wat van deze Véir te denken. Het klinkt allemaal zéér goed op muzikaal en vocaal vlak, leunt af en toe zelfs wat naar Power Metal dat hier door enkele van onze mensen zo geliefd is. Ik laat het finaal oordeel dan ook aan deze kenners over.
Ben je fan van Prog, Heavy Metal, Power Metal en aanverwanten, dan luister je best eens goed en hou je hen in de gaten.
