What is Kvlt?
1.
Epitomising the musical ideals of sub-underground black metal - the kind of stuff that comes out in limited editions of 300 through vinyl-only labels based in a cave in Belarus. The exact requirements of kvltness vary depending on who you talk to, but usually involve icy, impenetrable production, black-and-white cover art, and concepts drawn from black magic, pagan myths or out-and-out nihilism.
Like anyone who takes art seriously these days, kvltists are the target of much mockery even from fellow extreme metal fans.
"This new Nattefrost album is kvlt as fuck!"
"stfu".

"Edvard Grieg was kvlt"
3.
Expression used in the extreme metal music scene in reference to an obscure band or a rare recording.

So get your kvltness today.

Me: "Roling on the picklecrown, laughing. Don't use internet abreviations."
