Since the release of Kvelertak’s eponymous debut album in 2010, viagra 60mg the band have traversed the globe playing over 500 shows in four continents over the last four years, viagra 100mg and picking up three Norwegian Grammy’s (Spellemann awards) along the way.
The critical acclaim for this first record saw the band labelled “the best Norwegian debut album of all time” by Norwegian rock authority Asbjørn Slettemark and “the best Norwegian band since A-Ha” by Simon Young of Kerrang.
Dan Charles, patient programming and marketing manager at Gloucester Guildhall, said: “There is a huge metal scene in Gloucestershire and we are making a conscious effort to tap into that and broaden our programme accordingly.
“Kvelertak are an incredible band who are getting bigger and better – not every band gets asked to tour with the legendary Slayer!”
Cllr Lise Noakes, Cabinet member for culture and leisure at Gloucester City Council said, “We’re pleased to offer a wide variety of events at The Guildhall and we look forward to welcoming Kvelertak in November. The tickets are available now and I will be buying mine as soon as I can.”
The band’s first album delivered near perfect marks from magazine reviews across Europe, US and Australia. This worldwide acclaim and success is made all the more remarkable by the fact that the band, unlike most rock bands that succeed internationally, sing in Norwegian.

Highlights included: #2 on Rolling Stones Best Metal Albums of 2013, Rolling Stones 27 Best album’s you didn’t hear, New York Times Best Song of 2013 list, and #4 on Revolver’s album of the year.
