Hvalross: With renewed arisen energy…..

It is not uncommon for bands from countries outside Norway to use Norwegian words as band names. Hvalross from the Netherlands is an example. Hvalross is a dog-like predator that seems a bit clumsy, while the band Hvalross is not barking and are not clumsy at all, but rather a band that plays elegant and good hard rock! The debut album Cold Dark Rain was released In October and a vinyl release will follow later this year. The track Death From Above,

Hvalross (Walrus) is a hard rocking band from the South of the Netherlands. The members have been rocking since they were teenagers (and believe us, that is a while ago) in punk, metal and prog bands. In the spring of 2018, the four decided that it was time to pick up their instruments again after a three year musical break, and rejoin efforts to make great hard rocking music. The track Trenchfeet,

Renewed arisen energy quickly led to new songs which can be described as heavy rock with a touch of emo, stoner and heavy metal. The band demo’d a couple of songs so they could hit the stage to enjoy, release and share their hard rocking energy. As a result, the following year 2019, was a year of some serious gigging for a band without an album. They crossed all over the Netherlands and even made some stops in Belgium. The track Playing The Big Game,

It gave the band the opportunity for creating and shaping their songs, sound and performance. Nice side effect was meeting, and playing with some great heavy Dutch, Belgian and even English bands in the process.

In 2020 the band started to record their debut album Cold Dark Rain which was released in October 2020. A nine song fusion of traditional heavy metal and alternative rock.

It is said that you can hear influences from Mastodon, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, but in the end it’s just hard rocking Hvalross!
