Kvelertak release new music video for ‘Crack Of Doom’

KVELERTAK have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Crack Of Doom, is taken from the Norwegian’s upcoming new album Splid which is scheduled to be released in February.

The new song features a guest appearance from Troy Sanders [MASTODON] and is one of the first songs performed by the band in English. The song’s accompanying music video is directed by the award winning and renowned Norwegian stills photographer and music video director Stian Andersen.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “ever heard of the Maya Apocalypse? Johannes Stöffler? Harold Camping? Are you afraid that the religious leaders, scientists, or the doomsday preachers may be right? Have no fear! They were all wrong. But now, KVELERTAK has come to prophesize Ragnarok, straight into your heart and soul. The Crack of Doom shines on us all! We sent Troy a demo of the song because there were a couple of parts we felt would fit his voice very well and lift the song. Luckily he liked the track and was keen to do it. He got some scratch vocal tracks and some guidelines but was free to do it however he wanted. What we got back was even better than what we could hope for. We’re extremely proud to have him featured on this song, and with Troy being American it felt natural to just do the whole thing in English.”

Splid is set for release on February 14th via Rise Records.
