Kvelertak announce new album ‘Splid’

KVELERTAK have announced a new album!

Titled Splid, the upcoming album from the Norwegian band is their first new music since 2016’s Nattesferd and is scheduled to be released in February next year via their new home at Rise Records. The upcoming album will be their first album featuring new singer, Ivar Nikolaisen, who joined the group last year.

The album was recorded with Kurt Ballou [CONVERGE, CODE ORANGE, ZEAL & ARDOR, EVERY TIME I DIE, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, HIGH ON FIRE] at Godcity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we are very excited that our new album Splid will be released through Rise Records and we look forward to being a part of the Rise family in the coming years. Splid (‘discord’ in English) is a deep dive into western gluttony, our own stupidity, and the abyss of the earth. Working with Kurt again has been amazing and we’re extremely happy with the production. We’ve pushed ourselves to the edge this last year – musically, physically, and mentally. The result is one hour of catchy riffs, punk rock, and heavy metal influenced by a world in discord to accompany our way towards Ragnarok.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming record; titled Bråtebrann.
