Kvelertak Unveil New Song “Fanden Ta Dette Hull”
New Album “Splid” Out February 14th

With the release of their new album “Splid”, Norwegian band KVELERTAK have shared another new song, titled “Fanden Ta Dette Hull”.

Elaborating on the song, they explain:
“In Stavanger city museum there used to be a exhibition in the basement called “crooked animals and smiling skeletons”. The story behind this name is pretty simple. Most of the skeletons are as old as the museum. They had, after so many years, become crooked and it looked like they were smiling. The first thing you could see was a skeleton of “Homo Sapiens” and it was a real skeleton of a man who grew up in my neighbourhood in the 19th century. This guy was buried last year, in 2019. ‘Fanden Ta Dette Hull’ is the story of his life. And what a life!“.

“Splid” is set for release on February 14th via Rise Records. It is the first from KVELERTAK since 2016’s “Nattesferd” and is also the recorded debut of their new singer, Ivar Nikolaisen, who joined the group in 2018. The album was recorded with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Code Orange, Zeal & Ardor, Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, High On Fire) at Godcity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts.

“Splid” includes a couple of tracks in English, including the song “Crack of Doom'” which features guest musician Troy Sanders of Mastodon.
