Our Take

HJELVIK's debut album Welcome To Hel doesn't just invite you to the party - it kicks down the door, throws a beer in your face, and demands you headbang until your neck snaps.

Former Kvelertak frontman Erlend Hjelvik has shed his traditional black metal roots in favor of a wild, unapologetically fun sound that embraces everything from classic rock to Viking metal. It's dirty, it's loud, and it's impossible not to grin like an idiot while listening.

Tracks like "North Tsar" and "Glory of Hel" are anthems in the making, with infectious hooks and thunderous riffs that will have you reaching for your air guitar in no time.

But don't be fooled by the party atmosphere - there's some serious musicianship on display here. The intricate guitar work on "The Power Ballad of Freyr" and the blistering solos on "12th Spell" showcase Hjelvik's talent for crafting killer metal tunes that still manage to surprise and delight.

Welcome To Hel may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a hell of a good time from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or just looking for something to liven up your next party, HJELVIK's debut is well worth a spin. So grab a horn of mead, throw on your battle gear, and let Welcome To Hel take you on a wild ride through the realms of metal madness. Horns up!

About the artist

Hjelvik

HJELVIK, the former frontman of Norwegian black metal outfit Kvelertak, has emerged from the depths of the metal scene as a solo artist with a flair for the dramatic. With his signature war paint and Viking-inspired aesthetic, HJELVIK is a larger-than-life character whose music packs a punch just as formidable as his stage presence. Combining elements of black metal, punk rock, and classic heavy metal, HJELVIK's solo work is a frenetic mix of aggression and melody that is sure to get your blood pumping. His debut solo album, "Welcome to Hel," is a ferocious onslaught of blistering riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that will transport you straight to the fiery depths of Norse mythology. But don't let HJELVIK's intimidating exterior fool you - behind the fierce facade lies a musician with a keen sense of humour and a knack for crafting catchy hooks. Tracks like "North Tsar" and "Glory of Hel" showcase HJELVIK's ability to seamlessly blend raw aggression with infectious melodies, creating a sound that is as fun as it is brutal. HJELVIK is a true force to be reckoned with in the world of metal, and his solo debut is a testament to his talent and dedication to the craft. So don your battle gear, raise your horns, and prepare to embark on a musical journey to the depths of Hel with HJELVIK as your guide. Skål!
