Kvelertak - "Kvelertak" (2010)

The debut album from this Norwegian crew offers a fairly enjoyable example of the black 'n' roll style, combining blackened hardcore screams with really well produced & executed punk & hard rock instrumentation. The energy levels are excellent throughout & one can easily pick up the influence of classic hard rock artists such as AC/DC, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix & Led Zeppelin along with flashes of black metal aggression. This isn't generally my sort of release on paper but I can't deny that it's been beautifully done & has kept me engaged for the majority of its run time.

For fans of Owls Woods Graves, Wormwitch & Zorn.

3.5/5
