Kvelertak are back with news of their fifth studio album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'Splid' is called 'Endling' and will arrive on September 8 via Rise Records/Petroleum Records. It marks the Norwegian punk-metal bruisers' second record with vocalist Ivar Nikolaisen and new drummer Håvard Takle Ohr. Announcing it, guitarist Vidar Landa commented:
"On 'Endling', we tell the stories of the extinct and dying men and women of Norway. Old and new myths, culture, and rituals come to life — the folklore that doesn't fit a TV series concept. Vikings and trolls are for television. This is the real deal.
"As the sun fell, at the time when oxen are unyoked, following the trail cut by the footsteps of Rasmus Vardal, the marauders of rock came riding again, screaming Kielland is dead, long live Kielland!"
Head below to check out the Adam Holmkvist-directed video for the first single, Krøterveg Te Helvete, which offers a blistering, amped up blackened rock'n'roll work-out. The band describe it as, "a celebration of the intolerable levels of hardships of being in a popular rock band in 2023."
