Watch Kvelertak's new video for Bronsegud

Kvelertak have released a new video for their track Bronsegud.

The song features on the Norwegian outfit’s third album Nattesferd which came out in 2016.

The black and white video features an unusual mix of live footage, interviews and backstage clips – and comes a day after the band were confirmed as support for Metallica on the thrash giants’ upcoming European tour.

The band said in a statement: “We are very excited to announce that we will be joining Metallica in Europe as part of their WorldWired tour. It’s an incredible honour to be sharing the stage with the masters. We can’t wait!”

Last year, frontman Erlend Hjelvik spoke to Metal Hammer about his musical tastes and how the band started.

He said: “For me, the first thing I ever got into was The Prodigy’s Music For The Jilted Generation and The Fat Of The Land. Then I got into Metallica and Slipknot and after that bands like Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth came along. It was just a natural progression for me to explore this.

“I wouldn’t give The Prodigy much credit though, I just listened to metal when we started the band – we’d all play World Of Warcraft in our basement and alternate between metal and power-pop.

“I think that Kvelertak is just all of us managing to find a middle ground from all of that music, it just melted together.”

Kvelertak previously released videos for Nattesferd and Svartmesse.
