Norwegian outfit Kvelertak have debuted the creepy new animated music video for "Svartmesse," which is taken from 'Nattesferd,' the latest LP from the band which was released this past spring via Roadrunner Records. 'Nattesferd' was the first album that the band recorded in their home country of Norway.

Directed by Torjus Førre Erfjord of Raindog Films, the monochromatic film features Satanic rituals, morbid imagery, and captivating animations. "It's made by our good friend Torjus Førre Erfjord who has previously made the videos for 'Blodtørst' and 'Evig Vandrar.'  As well as featuring his own unique style of animation, this video has a darker and more sinister tone that goes hand in hand with the lyrics of the song," commented the band.
