Watch Kvelertak’s Menacing "1985" Video

Norwegian metal outfit Kvelertak recently announced a new album, Nattesferd (out May 13 via Roadrunner), and shared lead single “1985.” Now, the track has a video. Directed, written, and edited by Fredrik S. Hana, the clip follows a group of friends as they swim, drink, box, swing from tires, detonate homemade explosives, brutally kidnap hostages, and set somebody ablaze. Watch it below.

Hana wrote in a press release:

In my third collaboration with Kvelertak, I wanted to make a music video where the story and characters took the center stage. The video revolves around a micro-community, a four man cult, where a deep and twisted friendship lies beneath it all. They don’t see themselves as a part of the normal society and decide to honor their differences in a unique fellowship. We follow the character’s growing addiction to push limits, and in the end, their incompetence to see any real consequences with their actions. I wanted to get across the fantastic feeling of being a part of something, but also the dangers of not daring to take a stand, to just swim along with the current.
