Your favorite punked-up, black metal-adjacent, classic rock-worshipping Norwegian group KVELERTAK are back. Their new album Endling arrives on September 8 via Rise Records/Petroleum Records.
Today, the band has shared the lyric video for Skoggnagr.
“‘Skoggangr’ was the first song we wrote for Endling. It’s a song about Helmut Von Botnlaus, whose life history and written records have inspired many of the lyrics on the album,” the band explains. “It all takes place in the heathlands and mountain area of the south-west coast of Norway, where Helmut was born. This is where he spent most of his secluded life, living off what the earth can provide him with while fighting anyone trying to destroy the surrounding nature. Wind turbine and real estate developers, look out!”
“From Lindtjørnsknuten I keep watch, looking towards Bjerkreim where the war is lost. String my bow, sacrifice a tick, stomping to the beat of an old slått.” —Helmut
