Kvelertak – Endling

(51:08; Vinyl, CD, Digital; Rise Records/Petroleum Records/Ada/Warner, 08.09.2023)
Do you want a tour through the different genres and styles of rock, from punk to metal? Then Kvelertak’s latest album, ‘Endling”, will be your guide. You’ll enjoy amazing riffs, powerful vocals, fast and heavy drumming, and rhythms that will make you jump, dance, or simply relax and enjoy the musical journey.

Kvelertak, the Norwegian band, brings us “Endling”, featuring 10 tracks and a total runtime of 51 minutes. It offers a journey through various musical styles, making it a diverse album that fans of rock, metal, and their numerous subgenres can enjoy. Even if you are someone new to metal, this album provides an excellent opportunity to explore, with sounds ranging from rocking guitars and keyboards to powerful guitar riffs and high-intensity drumming.

The album is clearly divided into two parts. The first half leans heavily into rock and metal, delivering raw and direct energy. In the second half, punk takes the forefront, evoking hardcore punk and skate punk vibes at times, yet without losing its metal essence. This fusion allows each song to be enjoyed to the fullest, offering a balance between aggression and melody.

In short, “Endling” is a well-rounded album that I highly recommend to those who enjoy exploring different genres and subgenres of rock and metal. If you are a purist, you might love some songs more than others, but there is definitely plenty to enjoy in this diverse and dynamic musical journey.
