Formerly known as frontman, lyricist, and co-founder of the Norwegian party-rockers Kvelertak, Erlend Hjelvik parted ways with his bandmates in 2018 and has spent the last two years biding his time and plotting a return to action. Today, he is a rejuvenated and newly inspired metal warrior, primed and ready to launch his own solo band, Hjelvik, and their thunderous and life-affirming debut album, Welcome to Hel. Steeped in the classic sounds of metal, both underground and mainstream, and enshrouded in a mystical fog of Norse mythology, Hjelvik's first immaculate collection of monstrous anthems is the sound of a modern god of heaviness embracing the spirit of the old school and injecting it with his own, unique, genre-blurring charisma. Recorded at The Hallowed Halls in Portland, Oregon in collaboration with studio guru Justin Phelps, Welcome to Hel is a vivid and vital testament to Erlend Hjelvik's instinctive metal mastery and a celebration of the music that first inspired the Norwegian to start screaming many years ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Father War \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Thor's Hammer \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Helgrinda \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Power Ballad of Freyr \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Glory of Hel \u003cbr\u003e1.6 12th Spell \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Ironwood \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Kveldulv \u003cbr\u003e1.9 North Tsar \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Necromance\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hjelvik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32720876535879,"sku":"40887302","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3859352-2604206.jpg?v=1711717981","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/hjelvik-welcome-to-hel","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
