Kvelertak

A versatile Norwegian heavy metal outfit, Kvelertak's Valhalla party anthems draw as heavily from sources like punk, NWOBHM, hardcore, and classic rock as they do traditional, larynx-shredding Scandinavian black metal. Emerging in 2010 with their acclaimed eponymous debut, the band wasted little time in taking over the airwaves of their homeland. After securing multiple Spellemannprisens (the Norwegian equivalent of a Grammy Award), Kvelertak set their sights elsewhere, with albums like Nattesferd (2016), Splid (2020), and Endling (2023) finding favor with European and American audiences as well.
