Vildhjarta have seemingly recruited a new member by the name of Vilhelm Bladin. The list of band members on their Facebook page was recently modified, with vocalist Robert Luciani being removed and Vilhelm Bladin being added, which seems to indicate that he is the band's new vocalist alongside Daniel 'Mynd' Ädel.

Vilhelm Bladin is also a member of death metal band Iscaroth, with whom he can be heard on the band's Myspace page.

This news comes shortly after the announcement that Vildhjarta's debut album is completed and has been sent to Jens Bogren for mastering. This seems to imply that the album was recorded with Vilhelm. Robert was recently announced as the vocalist of Means End, a collaboration with Rasmus Hemse, Leonard Östlund and Uneven Structure drummer Christian Schreil.

Vildhjarta will be performing at this year's edition of Euroblast Festival alongside Mnemic, Textures, TesseracT, and many others, which will take place in Cologne, Germany on October 21st-22nd.

Eight more bands have been added to the lineup of this year's edition of Euroblast festival, which will take place in Cologne, Germany on October 21st-22nd. They are:

Destiny Potato had already announced earlier that they would play, but now this has also been confirmed by the organisation. A special guest is yet to be announced. In addition, the winner of the band competition will also play, which makes for 24 bands in total. The deadline for competition applications is Monday, June 27th. If you'd like a chance to play at Euroblast festival with your band, make sure to apply before then.

Next to these live performances, there will also be special workshops with Rémi Gallego of The Algorithm, David Maxim Micic of Destiny Potato , Jakub Żytecki of Disperse and members of Monuments. More details about these will be announced soon.

A new festival website has been launched today, and can be viewed at www.euroblast.net. A limited number of early bird ticket packages are now available for ordering from the website. They include a festival ticket, an exclusive T-shirt (or girlie), and an exclusive poster. These items are only available as part of this package, and are not for sale separately.

The package costs € 49 (£ 43.70, $ 70.00 at the time of writing) excluding shipping, and is only available through PayPal. It can also be collected at the festival itself, to save on shipping costs. More information is available on the festival website. Packages will be shipped on August 1st. Regular tickets will go on sale at a later date (and other payment methods will then be available as well).

The full festival lineup can be seen below. A time schedule will be made available soon.

Vildhjarta have published a short video following the recent announcement of their signing to Century Media Records. Watch it below. The video also contains a snippet of new material. The band will be releasing their long awaited full-length debut album before the end of this year.

A recent post on Century Media Records's Facebook page may indicate that they are planning to sign Vildhjarta. The post consists of only one word, 'THALL', which is often associated with the band. Another possible, but less likely explanation is that it is related to Uneven Structure signing to Basick Records, with whom Century Media have a distribution deal. The Facebook post has received reactions from members of both bands.

It's been a little over two weeks since the djent-themed 6th edition of Euroblast festival took place in Cologne, Germany. Many of you were there, and so were we of course! Because it was such a unique event, we thought it would be interesting for everyone involved to share their experiences. We asked all the bands that played the same set of questions, and we did a short interview with the festival organisers as well. You can find both interviews below, so read on. We would also like to hear how the fans experienced it, so let us know in the comments!

On our forums, we've been collecting photos, videos and stories from the festival. Find them here:

got-djent.com would like to thank all the bands for answering our questions and of course for ripping it up on stage! We'd also like to thank John, Daniel and the rest of the Euroblast team for making all this possible. You guys are legends!
