Rock ‘n’ roll, black metal, and punk influenced Norwegian band Kvelertak have returned with their new record, Endling, which was released on September 8 through Rise Records/Petroleum Records.
Order Endling here.
The band have also released their title track with a lyric video.
Watch the official lyric video of “Endling” on YouTube:
The band share their thoughts:
“Starting with a guitar hook that could have been picked up at a First Avenue show during a U.S. tour and culminating in a Queen-like crescendo of harmonic guitar leads, ‘Endling’ serves as a requiem for destroyed nature and broken human destinies from our own time. Trusting silver-tongued modernity only ends in a trunk full of fury and unspent wealth drugged in a rut behind you on your certain journey across the river Gjöll.”
Guitarist Vidar Landa says:
“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.”
