I work as a bartender just outside of Yosemite National Park and during the summer season we serve a mostly international clintele. One night we had a group of Norwegian students in the bar drinking beer and playing some good metal on our jukebox. Being a fellow rocker I struck up a conversation with them about what kind of music they listened to in Norway. I really didn't know a whole lot about their scene other than the Black Metal bands like Emperor or Hellhammer (now I'm showing my age!) and they were more than happy to tell me about what was current in their country. They recommended this band as a good place to start since this video had just been released... now I know what Viking rock is all about! These guys even look the part! Skol!
This genre of music is truely has global potential. I am a Norwegian and I have no idea what that guy is screaming about, but damn it sounds good anyway!
This is a weird story, but i once got in an argument with a stranger on world of warcraft in tradechat about music, we ended up seeing eye to eye more and becoming friends. Hes very passionate about music and this is one of the bands he showed me that stuck with me. He was unfortunately going through a very rough time in his life, leaving out the details he had bad "scabies" and lost his gf, had to move from his house and leave everything behind because of it and all it infested, leaving himself in an empty apartment, unable to get help or treatment for it. I tried to help him through those times and be there. He talked about suicide and i kept telling him that isnt the way out of this. He's been offline for a year and i wish the best for him, still listen to alot of this music on a regular, and i want to thank him for showing me this. Really cool guy, learned alot from him.
My friend a Blacksmith, as myself, introced this band. Cannot stop loving them. The Song, about intergalactic and Beyond.... Listen.. kveletak: Nattesferd.
It is impossible how these guys can just flow through all subgenres of rock 'n roll. Some songs sound like black metal, some are clear hardcore punk, some are 80's heavy and this is pure hard rock... and all of them are just great.
What I like about multiple guitarists in bands like these are moments like 3:00, just after a kickass solo a super melodic part kicks in and the second guitar steps in to accompany it while the third guitarist is still ripping the main riff background. Now I understand why they need three of them haha. Great tune.
Very cool, but also a very subtle effect. Couldn't it easily be replaced by for example a octave pedal? I wonder if they have better examples, just learned about the band.
BestWayKilla Hell of a first concert man. I went to a show on the same tour, at the 930 club in DC. I didn't get there in time to catch Kvelertak, but Gojira was simply amazing. By far my favorite metal band. And honestly their set took a big ol' shit on Mastadon's
I fucking love this song!!!! Kvelertak brings the happiness back to music and going to live concerts in general!!! One of the best live bands around!!!!
One of the best norwegian songs I've heard in a long time! Powerfull voice, awesome riffs and a fitting solo. This song really get me good mod every time! Sykt bra sang!
Hard rock meets Black metal ... this is by far one of the best bands I've heard nowadays, they've come to make a perfect blend of old school phrasing and riffin' with all the epic and powerfull tuning and dark feeling of black and death metal legacy . This is the present of rock and roll and heavy metal, greetings from Colombia, really hope to see you guys around someday.
7 year old update: Last year I saw the band live for the first time but in Europe. I was on the first row and got the paper setlist as a souvenir. It was a blast and I'm always going to remember this concert, despite the fact that I only sing giberish cause I don't know the norwegian language haha.
Estava vendo uma entrevista de um vocalista de uma banda Brasileira o João Gordo dos Ratos do Porão, falando sobre vcs e realmente uma banda muito boa parabéns, o Brasil espera por vcs .
heard you like Kvelertak, so the channel Kvelertak uploaded the song Kvelertak by the band Kvelertak. fooping awesome song and band! Cannot wait to see you guys live
I have so many great memories with this song and don't think I ever connected with a band on such a level before. Love this band. Kvelertak for life! 🦉🤟🎸
@Ukraine Combat Footage Their last album had a new drummer and lead vocalist (Kjetil Gjermundrod drums, gone and replaced by Havard Takle Ohr n Ivar Nikolaisen instead of Erlend Hjelvik on vocals). I didn't enjoy the Splid album at all, but hope that they find their way back to their roots on the future album... If you're a fan of Erlend, check out his Welcome To Hel album from 2020
I'm into Rock'n'Roll since I was 12, almost 47 fuckin' awsome years, tryin' to say it's part of my DNA. Since I heard this outknockin' band I realized that you don't have to worry about the future.
Being a Norwegian kid myself, other kids at my school think i'm wierd for not liking pop and liking rock and metal instead. But i dont understand why rock and metal isn't as cool as it used to be a long time ago. I love rock and metal! It's so frustrating to be one of the only kids at my school that likes rock and metal!
Because at some point Rock music in the mid 2000s lost the Blues part of it. It became bands like Train, Coldplay, etc. These soulless U2 Copies. It's lost it's groove. Kids growing up heard their parents listen to this garbage, and thus went for more of the sugary commercialized EDM scene and Mumble Rap. Fair enough. You know, I accept that I am old now lol. It's not what I liked, and now it scares and confuses me. But here's my advice from an old timer to you. Be yourself man. Don't sweat it. Music is music at the end of the day. And if you think about it, you're more unique now than I ever was when I was your age. So Rock on!
Saw someone wearing the shirt on a show called "Banshee". Took about five or so Google searches for me to find the band because I was guessing at the letters. I'm a couple songs in down this rabbit hole and I'm liking it so far.
I never thought you could make a better album than "Kvelertak" but then "Meir" showed up. I cant describe with words how good I think you are. Thank you for your music, it keeps me strong when I need it the most.
And here I was expecting to hear a black/death/heavy metal song when I clicked on this video's link, haha. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised! This is a cool, 'feel good' old school hard rock meets modern metal type of jam - I like :)

Skål! :) To you to
Hellhammer was a Swiss band, not a Norwegian one, fam. ;)
skål is written with an "å"
Give the man a break, not everyone has a NOB setup keyboard :)
Alt + 134 :D For just in case. Awesome song! \m/
The ultimate mix of heavy metal, punk, rock and roll and black Norwegian metal

Thanks for sharing, man! Have you talked to him yet?
If someone was down on their luck, but introduced me to this... I'd start a "Go Fund Me" campaign.
My friend a Blacksmith, as myself, introced this band. Cannot stop loving them. The Song, about intergalactic and Beyond.... Listen.. kveletak: Nattesferd.
He dead
Took me two listens till I realized the lyrics were not in English... Oh the power of music.
+Clinton Elliott Norwegian is also very close to English, haha.
+Severin Brunges-Turl ha... It sounded like English at first.....
Germanic languages, pal.
Seen em live with Metallica, this is positively musical compared to that...
it doesn't sound one second like english
It is impossible how these guys can just flow through all subgenres of rock 'n roll. Some songs sound like black metal, some are clear hardcore punk, some are 80's heavy and this is pure hard rock... and all of them are just great.
Your last sentence is right at all , sorry
Yeah and then you have the solo of Bruane Brenn which on the second half sounds right out of a Boston album.
Greetings from Finland; Norway is killing us with excellent music - we will rise
Can't understand a word they're saying, still better than 75% of music out there
Im norwegian and still i dont understand the dialect🤣
you're wrong. it's better than 99% of music out there 😂
Love you
...They sing in a native old dead tongue from Norway !!! Thats why not even Norwegians understand what they sing !!!
KEVELERTAK!
I was once a warmup-band for Kvelertak. One of the best concerts i have played and been at. Really nice guys and a great band!
Its 2020. I still have this video on repeat
That goes for 2021 also :)
2022, and still loving it.
2023 and no signs of slowing
2024, still here 😄

I had never even heard of these guys until I saw them live. They kick ass.
Same here. Saw them the night before Halloween with Gojira and Mastodon, my first concert, actually. Great show, all 3 bands were epic.

Kicked more ass than Metallica in Globen....
These guys have such an awesome upbeat powerful energy, it's almost like happy punk metal. I love their music so much :D
+Elliott Horn I'd even say more like happy punk'n'roll now :D
with a black metal voice
I fucking love this song!!!! Kvelertak brings the happiness back to music and going to live concerts in general!!! One of the best live bands around!!!!
Still listening to this regularly. Rock'n'roll at its best.
One of the best norwegian songs I've heard in a long time!
Powerfull voice, awesome riffs and a fitting solo. This song really get me good mod every time! Sykt bra sang!
Might be the best cut music video I've ever seen.
This guys know how to rock. Awesome band is Awesome!!!
DesertFest is going to be unreal!

I heard of this band, approximately, 10 minutes before writing this comment....... wow!! What a tune!
One of the best live shows i’ve ever seen.
I don't know what they're singing about but gosh, this song got the pure soul of rock !!!
Great music, great band...

i love this nordish band ! rock on !I love this language and rock and roll, it does not get any better..
It doesn't matter the trend at the time. Good music will break through and get people excited.
Agree
Really hope to see them perform again. Saw them w/ Mastodon & Gojira a couple months ago in KC.
I have so many great memories with this song and don't think I ever connected with a band on such a level before. Love this band.
Kvelertak for life! 🦉🤟🎸
Saw them last night at the VOA Festival - highly recommend seeing them live, can't wait for the next album :)

Je vous adore les mecs

This is best song ever....

Making rock music without leaving their black metal root. Love them!!!!!
their best music video so far.
When I'm depressed I put the Kvelertak list on... ALWAYS cheers me up!
These guys have a first class masters degree in creating awesome metal !!
They are simply great. Find me a video more pure rocknroll than this. Best of luck. Kvelertak is great.......

Fyfaen! This song just get's better and better when you play it! "Meir" is the best album i've ever heard so far! Love it
Brilliant band my best find in ages
This is one of the best bands I listened to in the past three years! Cheers from Portugal.
Greetings from Spain!! 🤘🤘🤘
The riffs are sick

Æ e norsk å har akkurat samme problem. Kvelertak e my bedre enn pop

I have the same problem, really annoying when you want to go to concerts...
Don't think about others. Just remember that your taste in music is better then theirs.
there are always more metal heads around than you think^^ keep your eyes open
Cus its pure awesome.
the best band ever!
beautiful music Black sheep
Phantastisch!! YEAH!!!!!!
I saw you at Tampere at spring/winter and you f#nking rocked! Thank you!

Best music from Stavanger, EVER!! :-)
