Brutally catchy punkrock/metal with a taste of groovy darkness!
Kvelertak released their self-titled debut album in the summer of 2010. Produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge) and with artwork by John Baizley (Baroness), the album received universally great reviews.
Labelled ”the best Norwegian debut album of all time” by Norwegian rock authority Asbjørn Slettemark and ‘the best Norwegian band since A-Ha” by Simon Young of Kerrang, the album delivered near perfect marks from magazine reviews across Europe, US (Import) and Australia.
The album was certified Gold in their native Norway in June 2011, with the band being presented with their Gold discs by Dave Grohl when they supported the Foo Fighters at a sold out show in Norway’s largest indoor venue, Telenor Arena.
Kvelertak shamelessly draw inspiration from every corner of something that could fit into their idea of good hard-hitting and catchy rock’n'roll. Regardless of genre, but always truthful to the basic idea of the band; good songs performed with the tongue-in-cheek attitude of their punk-rock pioneers.
Unlike the majority of heavier bands they sing in their native language – adding even more character to their already unique sound.
