Kvelertak have welcomed Ivar Nikolaisen (Silver, The Good, The Bad And The Zugly) to the band as their new vocalist. He is taking over for Erlend Hjelvik, who recently exited the group.
Kvelertak said the following:
“We are immensely excited to have Ivar on board, and what he will bring to the band.
Kvelertak has had a history with Ivar since the bands early days. Both as a tour companion with his other bands (Silver, The Good, the Bad and the Zugly), and as the guest vocalist on ‘Blodtørst’. Ivar is the frontman we could hope for, and nothing is more natural for us than for him to take over the throne.
Ivar himself states:
‘I’ve been a huge fan of Kvelertak ever since I first saw them nearly ten years ago. It’s an honor to be a part of the band! I will not try to copy Erlend. Erlend is a lion. I’m just a small rat. But this rat is pissed off, infectious, and full of pestilence—ready to take this machine to new heights!”
We will see you all on the road sooner than later.
KVELERTAK“
The band played their first show with Nikolaisen at Fjellparken in Flekkefjord, Norway yesterday (July 20). You can see footage from that concert below. Furthermore, a new album from the group is expected to be released in 2019.
