Vildhjarta is a Swedish progressive metal band from Hudiksvall. The band plays in an aberrant Meshuggah-influenced musical style with use of heavily down-tuned, seven string guitars and they are characterized by harmonic minor progressions, jarring staccato riffs, layers of reverberant guitars and dual lead vocalists. The group released a 2-track EP entitled Omnislash in 2009 before their proceeded signing to Century Media Records in 2011 was made, and thus spawned their debut full-length album Måsstaden that same year. The word "vildhjärta" translates to "wild heart" in Swedish.
