JORDSJØ & BREIDABLIK – celebrate 10 years with split album

Jordsjø & Breidablik celebrate their 10th year anniversary with the split album Kontraster on Apollon
Prog Records

On April 25th, 2025, rock fans are in for a treat as two of Norway’s most exciting progressive artists,
Jordsjø and Breidablik, come together to celebrate their 10th anniversary in the music industry with
an innovative split album titled Kontraster. The album contains two 20 minutes long tracks showing
different perspectives and expressions of “contrasts”. Both tracks represent bold exploration of
progressive rock’s diverse soundscapes, paying homage to the genre’s pioneering artists while
carving new paths for the future.

The two bands have long been known for their ability to blend classic influences with modern
sensibilities, and Kontraster exemplifies this mastery. The album is an ode to the diversity of
progressive music, showcasing how progressive rock can stretch from lush, atmospheric soundscapes
to intricate, driving rhythms, each band bringing its unique flavor to the project.

“We’ve been on an incredible journey over the past decade,” says Jordsjø’s guitarist and founder
Håkon Oftung “This album feels like the perfect way to honor where we’ve come from and the
pioneers who shaped the sound we love. It’s a celebration of contrasts—of the different ways
progressive rock can express itself yet still remain true to its roots.”

Finding inspiration in progressive electronic music, Breidablik echoes these sentiments, noting, “For
us, Kontraster is a celebration of the diversity within progressive rock. We’ve spent 10 years
developing our sound, and this album shows that evolution while it is still rooted in the genre’s
origins. It’s a true testament to the unity found in the contrasting influences and styles that make
progressive music so endlessly fascinating.”

Fans of both bands can expect an album that pushes boundaries while remaining grounded in the
tradition of the genre. Kontraster is not just an album; it’s a milestone for two bands that continue to
push the envelope in their commitment to progressive rock.

Pre-orders for Kontraster will begin shortly. For further updates, tour announcements, and more
