Kalandra will go on a Norwegian tour this fall/winter with their EP “Mørketid”, released in the winter of 2025. The band will visit the major Norwegian cities and will also perform in Bodø for the very first time.

“Mørketid” is an EP that embraces darkness and winter in a truly unique way. The EP features beautiful reinterpretations of the famous Scandinavian christmas hymn “Mitt hjerte alltid vanker”, alongside critically acclaimed original compositions such as “Ghosts”. The band will perform a very special repertoire for the tour, featuring songs that bring warmth and light as we enter the dark and cold winter season. The band says:

«Today, we’re announcing our Norwegian tour, Mørketid!

It’s been a while since we last toured Norway, and we’re incredibly excited to reconnect with audiences across the country.

It feels especially meaningful that we’ll finally be playing in Bodø for the very first time, and that we’ll soon return to Kristiansand, nearly ten years after our last visit. We’re also looking forward to returning to venues such as Kulturhuset in Bergen, SALT in Oslo, and HAVET in Trondheim, where we’ve made many fond memories over the years.

Mørketid is about bringing people together during the darkest time of the year and creating warmth, connection, and a sense of community through music. We can’t wait to share these evenings with both familiar faces and new listeners alike.»

Kalandra

Norwegian-Swedish collective Kalandra have spent over a decade carving out a distinct space between atmospheric rock, Nordic folk, and cinematic metal, building a reputation for immersive soundscapes and emotionally charged compositions.

Emerging with their debut album The Line in 2020, the band quickly gained international attention for their haunting, minimalist aesthetic — where delicate vocals meet brooding, slow-burning arrangements. Their sound, often drawing comparisons to artists operating on the fringes of metal and post-rock, is defined as much by restraint as it is by intensity.

But Kalandra’s story stretches further back. Formed in 2011 in Liverpool by vocalist Katrine Stenbekk, the band developed their identity through relentless live performances in the UK before returning to Norway and solidifying their lineup. Over the years, they have steadily expanded their reach — from intimate club shows to major festival stages including Hellfest.

Touring alongside artists such as Wardruna, Heilung and Leprous, Kalandra have connected with audiences across Europe and Australia, bridging scenes that span folk, post-rock, and progressive metal.

Their work on the soundtrack for Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands further cemented their ability to translate atmosphere into narrative, while their 2024 album A Frame of Mind marked a turning point — expanding both the sonic scope and emotional weight of their material.

Now, in 2026, Kalandra mark 15 years as a band, continuing to evolve while staying rooted in a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Their music has travelled far beyond its Nordic origins, resonating with a global audience drawn to its sense of space, tension, and quiet power.
