Vígljós (in Old Norse, the light that is just bright enough to kill a man) was founded in Basel in 2022. Since summer 2025, the band has consisted of four members from Germany and Switzerland, who play guitar, drums, mellotron, and vocals. They have just recorded their second studio album titled "Tome II : ignis sacer" at Marc Obrist (Zeal & Ardor) Hutch Sounds in Oberwil, BL, with the release scheduled for September 2025.
