Kvelertak have dropped another track from their fifth studio album.
Skonggangr arrives as the second punked-up, blackened metal ripper from 'Endling', which is due out on September 8. The band explained:
"Skoggangr was the first song we wrote for 'Endling'. It's a song about Helmut Von Botnlaus, whose life history and written records have inspired many of the lyrics on the album. It all takes place in the heathlands and mountain area of the south-west coast of Norway, where Helmut was born. This is where he spent most of his secluded life, living off what the earth can provide him with while fighting anyone trying to destroy the surrounding nature. Wind turbine and real estate developers, look out!
"From Lindtjørnsknuten I keep watch, looking towards Bjerkreim where the war is lost. String my bow, sacrifice a tick, stomping to the beat of an old slått."
The follow-up to 2020's 'Splid' will also include the previously unveiled track Krøterveg Te Helvete.
The band will appear at Norway's Tons Of Rock festival this weekend, before a European tour later in 2023. Head here for details.
