Norwegian cinematic folk / pop band, Kalandra are firmly rooted in melancholic Nordic folk pop, interwoven with ethereal melodies and gritty guitars
After amassing over 5 million views on YouTube with their cover of Wardruna’s “Helvegen” (released as a digital single), self-releasing the two acclaimed singles “Brave New World” and “The Waiting Game” and composing two tracks for the HBO Nordic series “Beforeigners”, the band released their debut full-length album in 2020 via By Norse Music.
In 2021, the Norwegian group followed up with a soundtrack for the game Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands and toured Europe with Norwegian prog band Leprous in the year after. Steadily building momentum, Kalandra embarked on a co-headlining tour with A.A. Williams at the end of 2023, and released the new song “Bardaginn”, alongside an epic music video.
The release of the new single “The State of the World” sees the band exploring a fragile side of their sound, reaching new fans all over the globe. With two dynamic new songs out and several festival appearances in the summer of 2024, the four piece is as ready as ever to reach new heights.
