Kvelertak Metal 6 Artikel

Recorded live in Oslo, Norway’s Amper Tone Studio, Nattesferd is produced by Kvelertak and mixed / engineered by Nick Terry (Lindstrøm, Turbonegro, The Libertines). It is the first of Kvelertak’s albums to be recorded in their home country of Norway. NATTESFERD is already garnering “Most Anticipated” accolades from the press with Rolling Stone featuring it in their ‘25 Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2016’ round-up. Additionally, Stereogum placed the new LP at #36 on their ‘101 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2016’ while Consequence of Sound included it in their ‘20 Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2016’ preview.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. Kvelertak sing in their native language – adding even more character to their already unique sound.

Man hat sie Punk und Metal gerufen, doch tief in ihrem Herzen sind die norwegischen Berserker von KVELERTAK die lebende, feuerspuckende Vekörperung des Rock'n'Roll.Seit ihrer Gründung 2006 hat die Band eine hartgesottene Fangemeinde aufgebaut, die nach den absolut wilden Liveshows von KVELERTAK dürstet, für die die Band mit brennenden Reifen schon einmal um die Welt gefahren ist.Das euphorisch gefeierte selbstbetitelte KVELERTAK Debüt von 2011 verhalf der Band zur "Metal Breakthrough Artist Of The Year"-Auszeichnung auf iTunes.Pitchfork beschrieb den Sound von KVELERTAK als "monolithische Soundwände, die die Adrenalindrüseln fesseln", während LA Weekly Frontmann Erland Hjelvik auf Platz 2 der "Top Ten Metal Frontmen (and Women) under 30" kürte.Doch auch in Europe wurde die Band mit Lob überschüttet: der norwegische Rock-Guru Asbj+rn Slettemark rief das Album als "bestes norwegisches Rockdebüt aller Zeiten" aus, der deutsche Metal Hammer verlieh den Award fürs beste Debüt an KVELERTAK, die Band heimste zwei norwegische Grammys für "Best New Artist" und "Best Rock Album" ein und ein jeder von Metal Hammer UK bis Kerrang! (die KVELERTAK prompt zur "aufregendsten Band des Planeten" hochjubelte) wurde ganz kirre, wenn es um die Norweger ging.Produziert von Kurt Ballou von CONVERGE veröffentlichen KVELERTAK nun ihr zweites Album "Meir" (was soviel wie "mehr" bedeutet - wie passend!).Noch immer singen KVELERTAK auf Norwegisch, was "Meir" noch mehr Charakter verleiht. Wir sind gespannt!

They're called punk and metal, but at their hearts Norwegian berserkers Kvelertak are the living, firebreathing embodiment of rock and roll. Produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, Kvelertak's highly anticipated sophomore album 'Meir' (which means "more" in English) was issued in March 2013. Unlike the majority of heavier bands, these guys sing in their native language, adding even more character to their already unique sound.
