Kvelertak have announced that their third album will be titled Nattesferd.
It’s out on May 13 via Roadrunner Records and marks the first release the Norwegian outfit have recorded in their homeland.
Frontman Erlend Hjelvik says: “We are finally getting ready to release our third album Nattesferd on the world and however cliche it may sound, I’m not afraid to say that this is our best one yet.
“It’s an exquisite smorgasbord of riffs infused with everything between the best of classic rock and heavy metal. I’m certain it will blow the minds of both old and new fans.”
The band have released a stream of album track 1985 exclusively with TeamRock – the first taste of material from the follow-up to Meir. Hear it below.
Kvelertak will embark on a North American tour next month to support the record with special guests Torche and Wild Throne. Mutoid Man will also appear on selected dates. They’ll also play at the Reading and Leeds festivals in the UK on August 26-28.
A full album tracklist will be released in due course.
