Kvelertak - Berserkr (Audio)

Whenever i'm having a bad day at work (I work in retail. It gets extremely frustrating having to fake being nice to assholes all day), I go in my car on my break, light up a cigarette and put this song on... This band has saved me from getting fired a few times, lol.

[@LivingDeadbeat]

Best song they've recorded so far. I don't know how people can't get into this album.

[@dustinpine3705]

Gatekeepers, elitists

[@triumphant39]

@@dustinpine3705 Not sure if that is accurate, as such people wouldn't like any kvelertak, not simply disliking this album. I think the correct answer is that it's more downbeat, artsy, and meandering than some of their other music. it has more of a post-black sound (this song is a bit of an exception, though), I have this album on lp.

Lyrics translation: Berserkr (Berserker) - In a dark and dim forest warriors are preparing themselves by drinking blood from wolves and bears. (Album booklet description) Torches fires up the night Downpour between mighty spruces The time had come for the ritual hunt Lonesome he left his companions The fulfilment of the norse pact With the body full of the Valkyrie’s mead Shall he bestow the beast’s death A bloody sacrifice to our all-knowing god Animalistic berserkers in wolf- and bearskin Yes, they were Odin’s messengers In the woods he stood face to face With a dark and frothing animal The teeth predicted his end Despite this he knew the time was not up The axe of death chopped fast Bear blood flew everywhere He skinned the fur and got high on its life force A bloody sacrifice to our all-knowing god Animalistic berserkers in wolf- and bearskin Yes, they were Odin’s messengers The guild of warriors stood by the beach A murder moon is risen They drink animal blood So that a lust for murder will grow The body full of psilocybe (psychedelic mushrooms) In black sight’s purpose Without chain mail, bare in bear pelt Made to beasts with wolves' mind They put their fangs in the shields Enemies with folded hands The army didn’t know what hit them When they were sent to Helheim The dead bathe in a sea of red They were born for this Thank the one-eyed’s gifts For widows visiting empty graves

2:39 love that change in sound

[@pinkfloyd36123]

2:35 - 3:28 is one of the best musical sections i've heard all year. reminds of scott pilgrim for some reason, almost sounds like a power pop song.

[@benjaminkip9143]

Totally agree. I saw Kvelertak live a couple of days ago but hadn't heard their new album. The piece you describe just got me right there by the balls. I totally froze. Amazing band, amazing show, amazing song!

[@wavy_deir]

Such a beautiful section in the song

[@Oortcloud67]

Absolutely.

[@NBM3]

[@speedbottles]

Kvelertak just do things diffrent, they don't repeat themselves over and over again, that's why i love this shit!

[@markfalisi2468]

Exactly my point also

[@albertoanguitacastilla6546]

SpeedBottles Yeah man! And they are even better live \m/

[@v13media]

Dope track. Even better than the lead single.

[@_pulyx]

That intro reminded me of Iron Maiden circa Killers. Good stuff

[@kristianfagerheim1329]

+Paulo Brasil Jæææs, I think the same, but Powerslave!

[@_pulyx]

***** I didn't mean the notes. I meant style and tone. Maiden was simpler, faster.

[@_pulyx]

***** reminded =/= exactly the same.

[@Vliegmans]

Phantom of the Opera or Transylvania definitely.

[@wavy_deir]

Can here shades of sabbath rush zeppelin sick of it all and the bronx

[@TheHavvoc123]

1985 took a while but it grew on me, this one i liked right of the bat though! looking forward to the rest of the album.

[@americanlostinvietnam3721]

One of the best songs I've heard in a long time

[@paulocaldoncelli4162]
