Kvelertak have released their new single Fanden Ta Dette Hull, taken from their forthcoming album Splid.
“In Stavanger city museum there used to be a exhibition in the basement called ‘crooked animals and smiling skeletons’,” the band explain. “The story behind this name is pretty simple. Most of the skeletons are as old as the museum. They had, after so many years, become crooked and it looked like they were smiling. The first thing you could see was a skeleton of ‘Homo Sapiens’ and it was a real skeleton of a man who grew up in my neighbourhood in the 19th century. This guy was buried last year, in 2019. Fanden Ta Dette Hull is the story of his life. And what a life!”
Splid is due for release on 14th February via Rise Records, available to pre-order HERE.
