Kalandra - gig in Liverpool by this wonderful Norwegian band (who started here!)

Norwegian band Kalandra blends metal, folk and progressive elements, inspired by Nordic mythology and nature. They actually started in Liverpool!

“Our music is a good mix of a lot of things.... I’m inspired by Eivør. I’m also inspired by folk songs; Mongolian folk songs and Peruvian, Bulgarian and obviously Nordic folk songs.”

"Spearheaded by four Norwegian/Swedish musicians, Kalandra is a band with roots in melancholic Nordic folk and gritty guitars, weaving ethereal melodies into raw and eerie musical landscapes.
Formed in the beginning of 2011, they’ve spent a decade crafting their own unique sound, building their own studio, whilst also touring and playing support for similar acts such as Gåte, Seigmen, Wardruna and Eivør. Their break came with a cover of ‘Helvegen’ by Wardruna, that amassed over four million views on YouTube. Since leading them to join forces with the acclaimed record label ByNorse Music.
In 2020 their first full-length album ‘The Line’ was released. The album was a journey in introspection, the feelings of wonder, anger, loss and acceptance at watching both your own life and the world around you unfold.
From their studio in Oslo, the band has since created music for the HBO Nordic’s series “Beforeigners” and the full soundtrack to the game series “Kingdom Two Crowns".
