Kvelertak shamelessly draw inspiration from every corner of music that fits into their idea of what good hard-hitting and catchy rock 'n' roll is. Regardless of genre classification, the basic idea of the band is to perform great songs with the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the punk-rock pioneers they admire. Kvelertak are already well known in Norway for their furious live energy and catchy, melodic, metal-inspired punk rock, but outside of Norway they are fairly unknown...until now. It might be an overused clich , but in this case, the phrase breathing fresh air into the scene truly applies. With the release of their much anticipated self-titled debut album, Kvelertak bring a genre bending and mind warping take on what both metal and punk rock can be. Recommended for fans of Converge, At The Drive-In, Turbonegro, The Refused, Kylesa, Baroness, Murder City Devils and rock n roll.
