oh yeah also new Revocation song. It's pretty damn good

 

haha literally seconds apart

 

Haha, I'm really looking forward to this one. Also, I know it's a weird thing to get hung up on but I like that they're bringing back their "classic" logo for the album cover on this one.

 

Cot damn.

 

So giddy right now.

 

New ERRA has some tasty riffs

 

the philly boys

 

New skeletonwitch is legit tbh

 

These guys are just consistently great. Never let me down.

New horrendous is dope.

 

oh shit i forgot all about there being new horrendous. dudes just crank out one A+ album after another.

 

I regret to inform you all that THRASH METAL THVRSDAY will be delayed until later. Hope you can all make it through the first half of the day ok without it.

Also Obscura and Black Fast albums are out there

somewhere

 

big day today. Obscura, Extremity, Black Fast, Oubliette, Deafheaven, BTBAM

 

there can’t be an angrier record than Rebel Extravaganza out there

 

this is one I'm stoked for. That art is pure filth

 

Hey, Erlend here, there is no easy way to say this, so I'll just get straight to it.

It's necessary for me to part ways with Kvelertak.

The experience of building a successful band has been fun and rewarding but has also been equally intense and challenging. Over the years, this has taken its toll. As we've been developing personally and professionally, our individual goals, needs and motivations have changed, leading us in different directions.
Though it is a heavy decision to leave a life I've been living and breathing for the last decade, I feel happy and excited to explore new possibilities for the future.

Regrettably, due to circumstances out of my control, I am not able to perform the last four shows in Norway this summer. I apologize to the festival organizers and fans planning on these shows.

I would like to thank Bjarte, Kjetil, Maciek, Marvin and Vidar, our crew, bands we've toured with and everyone else who has worked with Kvelertak. Most importantly, I appreciate our awesome fans that have made everything possible. I'm very proud and grateful for everything we've accomplished as Kvelertak. I am genuinely thankful for everything we've experienced together and wish the band the best of luck and success in the future.

Kvelertakk for meg!

Erlend Hjelvik

 

Saw Uada and Wolvhammer last night. The Black Moriah opened (who I was unfamiliar with) and they were great. Solid night of metal.

 

this Extremity album, damn. Death metal gold.

 

Loaded with shows this week.

Weedeater/Unsane/Zeke, Neurosis/Converge/Birds in Row, Trivium/Fit For an Autopsy, Sworn Enemy/Thy Will Be Done, The Body/Lingua Ignota.

 

RIP

 

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
KVELERTAK WITH NEW VOCALIST, NEW ALBUM IN THE PIPELINE

We have known for a while that Erlend has planned to step down, so we have had the necessary time to plan the way going forward and also find a new vocalist for Kvelertak.

The original plan was to finish up the festival season with Erlend, but as Erlend is not able to do so, we are therefore proudly announcing our newest member at the upcoming show Friday, July 20th, at Fjellparken, Norway.

We would like to thank Erlend Hjelvik for his contribution to the band, and wish him all the best for the future.

-Vidar, Maciek, Bjarte, Marvin, Kjetil


Kvelertak is currently working on their next album, intended for release in 2019.
