Roadrunner Records group, Kvelertak, have announced details of their new LP, Nattesferd. The follow up album to 2013’s Meir, Nattesferd is heralded by the new single “1985” which is streaming below. Pre-orders will be available April 8th with the album arriving everywhere May 13th (album art below).

Frontman Erlend Hjelvik commented, “We are finally getting ready to release our third album Nattesferd on the world and however cliché it may sound, I'm not afraid to say that this is our best one yet! 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. Enjoy!”

Recorded live in Oslo, Norway’s Amper Tone Studio, Nattesferd is produced by Kvelertak and mixed / engineered by Nick Terry (Lindstrøm, Turbonegro, The Libertines). It is the first of Kvelertak’s albums to be recorded in their home country of Norway.
