Our Take

HJELVIK's debut solo album Welcome To Hel (+Din A1-Poster) is not just an album, it's a sonic journey into the depths of Scandinavian metal madness. Former Kvelertak frontman Erlend Hjelvik has burst onto the scene with a vengeance, bringing his signature ferocity and flair to this exhilarating record.

From the opening track "Father War," it's clear that HJELVIK is not here to play nice. With thunderous drums, blistering riffs, and Hjelvik's primal screams, this album hits like a Norse god's hammer. Songs like "Thor's Hammer" and "Glory of Hel" showcase Hjelvik's love for mythology and folklore, with lyrics that could have been ripped straight from the pages of an ancient saga.

But it's not all blood and guts on Welcome To Hel. Tracks like "North Tsar" and "Necromance" show a more melodic side to HJELVIK's songwriting, proving that he's not just a one-trick pony. The album's production is top-notch, courtesy of Grammy-winning producer Russ Russell, who brings a polished sheen to Hjelvik's raw sound.

Overall, Welcome To Hel is a triumphant return for Erlend Hjelvik, cementing his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of metal. So grab your battle axe, don your war paint, and prepare for a musical journey like no other. Skål!
