Hot on the heels of releasing their brand new album Endling, Norwegians KVELERTAK have shared the 13-minute short film, Morild, directed by Fredrik S. Hana.
Hana comments, “’Morild’ marks my 4th music video for Kvelertak, starting all the way back with ‘Mjød’ in 2010, followed by ‘Månelyst’ in 2013 and ‘1985’ in 2016. I truly cherish this collaboration and the creative space they offer. It inspires me to aim high and push boundaries. With this ‘Morild’, which exists somewhere between a music video and a short film, I wanted to give it my all. We spent over 6 months shooting the thing, painstakingly making everything by hand, from stop-motion animation to miniature work and practical effects. I hope the Kvelertak fans get a kick out of it and can appreciate the love (and blood and tears) we put into it.”
KVELERTAK guitarist Vidar Landa adds, “You can watch ‘Morild’ as one continuous explosive journey of visual eye-candy, not one single frame is repeated, bathed in Fredrik’s beautiful, dark and violent imagery inspired by Kvelertak’s music. Or look for and interpret the lyrical themes surrounding our newest album ‘Endling’: man vs nature, local folklore, greed, and the inevitable death of everything we know. Enjoy!”
