Send us Fan MailBlackened Viking Heavy Metal - Probably the best way describe the sound of the newest Norwegian band, Hjelvik. We got the opportunity to speak with the band's solo creator and frontman Erlend Hjelvik. The debut album “Welcome To Hel” is on the horizon but it didn't come without the passion Erlend has always had for the music itself. This is a new and fresh beginning for him personally and artistically, and Hjelvik is what Erlend wants to take seriously to heart as he now shapes his path the way he wants it to – which maybe he has not had full control of previously in the past. As we discuss his influences and inspiration, Erlend ambitiously describes the new themes he incorporated with the sound of the new album and how proud he is of the latest craft he created. Between the new album's production, his career experiences, and even signing with a prominent music label like Nuclear Blast – Erlend could not be in a better position to make his newest debut. Tune in to this episode now and make sure to buy/stream Hjelvik's debut solo studio record “Welcome To Hel” unleashing November 20th on Nuclear Blast Records.
