Norwegian metal outfit Kvelertak have announced the split with longtime guitarist Bjarte Lund Rolland, who played with them from 2007 until now. On Thursday (31st), the band emphasized that upcoming shows, concluding with their February 28, 2025, performance in Germany, will be the last chance to see Kvelertak live “for the foreseeable future.”
The group issued the following statement:
“Guitarist Bjarte Lund Rolland is leaving Kvelertak and will therefore not be joining the upcoming tour. After five albums and countless concerts around the world, Bjarte and Kvelertak are now going their separate ways.
The upcoming tour will proceed as planned, starting in Norway on October 31, 2024, and ending in Germany on February 28, 2025.
This will be the last chance to experience Kvelertak live for the forseeable future.
“Bjarte’s talent, riffs, songs and stage personality have been a central part of putting Kvelertak on the world map. We thank him for 5 albums and many great years on the road. Right now we don’t know what the future holds. But the Krøterveg Te Helvete Tour continues with full force until what will be the last concert for the forseeable future in Munich, February 28, 2025. We want to thank the fans for their support and look forward to seeing you on the road in the coming months!””
