Kvelertak are currently in Oslo, Norway’s Amper Tone Studio working on their follow-up LP to 2013’s widely acclaimed “MEIR.” The new album is being recorded live and engineered by Producer Nick Terry (Lindstrøm, Turbonegro, The Libertines), marking the first time Kvelertak have recorded an album in their home country of Norway.

Kvelertak’s forthcoming third LP is already garnering “Most Anticipated” accolades from the press with Rolling Stone featuring it in their ‘25 Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2016’ round-up. Additionally, Stereogum placed the new LP at #36 on their ‘101 Most Anticipated Albums Of 2016’ while Consequence of Sound included it in their ‘20 Most Anticipated Metal Albums of 2016’ preview.

Kvelertak made a stunning international impact with the release of their 2013 album “MEIR,” earning the six-piece numerous “Best of 2013” honors. Both Rolling Stone and SPIN placed “MEIR” at #2 on their ‘Best Metal Albums of 2013’ recaps, while The New York Times’ Ben Ratliff picked standout track “Spring Fra Livet” as one of his ‘Top Songs of 2013’. Additionally, “MEIR” landed at #15 on Stereogum’s ‘50 Best Albums of 2013,’ and came in at #4 on Revolver’s ‘20 Best Albums of 2013’ list.

The Stavanger-based band have made a name for themselves via their rampaging live shows and have spent the last two years touring extensively both nationally and around the globe.
