Vildhjarta – Masstaden (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Pink Black Marbled Transparent, 180g, Vinyl)

Masstaden (Swedish: "The seagull town") is the debut album by Swedish metal band Vildhjarta. Released on 28 November 2011, the album peaked at 37 on the US Top Heatseekers chart. This was the first release to feature co-lead vocalist Vilhelm Bladin and the last to include founding member (and third guitarist) Jimmie Akerstrom, before he was asked to leave the band in April 2012. Akerstrom was never replaced and thus left Vildhjarta without a third guitarist since his leaving. Masstaden was a breakthrough success and led to positive reviews and an expanded international fanbase. The musical style found on the album, often described by fans as "thall", would continue to influence multiple bands and artists within the djent scene.
