#506 - Vidar Landa (Kvelertak)

Vidar Landa of the mighty Kvelertak is our guest for this week’s
episode of The MetalSucks Podcast! During our chat, we discuss the
band’s journey to create their fifth album Endling and go over some
of the folklore and stories that inspired the songs — some of which
include the celebration that would follow funerals in older times.
We also discuss why gathering together is very important for the
entire human race, how consuming the same popular media is having a
positive effect on society, and why it’s so important to stick to
what you know in a live setting for rock and metal bands. Petar and
Sylvia discuss Flotsam and Jetsam being honest about why they are
canceling their North American run in September, Corey Taylor
stating he’s in constant pain while traveling on the road, how
difficult it is to continue in aggressive music after a certain
age, and Steve Harris’s comments of Iron Maiden’s focus on quality
touring over quantity. Song: Kvelertak “Krøtervag Te Helvete” Song:
