    One of the things I love about Kvelertak is that among their face-melting riffs and songs, there are also surprises. These guys know how to play hard and fast, but they're also hook masters, giving a nod back to the roots metal they obviously grew up listening to. On Nattesferd, those dad rock sensibilities are even more at the forefront.

These guys know how to play hard and fast, but they're also hook masters, giving a nod back to the roots metal they obviously grew up listening to. On Nattesferd, those dad rock sensibilities are even more at the forefront. There are times that the album ventures directly into the land of "feel good," most notably on tracks like 1985 and Bronsegud. That said, it's all blended with their signature style of heavy, along with their inclination to veer into punk styles as well.

    The result is an album that plays like a classic metal record. There are peaks and valleys, lots of diversity and some brilliant surprises along the way. It's still 100% Kvelertak, but it's also clear that they're a band that continues to find themselves by exploring a more dynamic range of sounds. It's easily one of, if not the best, metal albums of the year.    … Expand

    Nattesferd sounds like Cheap Trick reimagined as a death n roll band with a healthy slab of Thin Lizzy guitar play thrown in. It's there catchiest, most accessible record to date and they sound all the better for it!

    Kvelertak reach further back on their epic third album Nattesferd, which sounds more like 2016 metal rode a time machine back to the ‘70s and ‘80s to see what blood-curdling shrieks could do for the likes of bar-band glam and proggy power-metal.

    It's a bold, transitional statement from a band that's still reaching for their best. [21 May 2016, p.52]

    With Nattesferd Kvelertak exploit an opportunity to create a sense of mystery. More importantly, they back it up with a group of songs that's virtually filler-free and loses little steam towards the end.
