Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Kalandra unveil the single Segla, accompanied by the live performance video. In this new setting, the song takes on an different character — its intimate, reflective core expanding into something more powerful and immersive on stage. Segla gains new weight in the live version, captured live at the Lafayette in London in the fall of 2024. 

For many listeners, the Norwegian group Kalandra came to prominence for their captivating Nordic soundscapes in 2020 with the release of their debut The Line. From major festival appearances and extensive touring across Australia and Europe, the band has steadily built an incredible international reputation. Now, in 2026, the band reaches a milestone: 15 years of music, growth and creative evolution. The anniversary will be marked with the release of their first live album Live in London and their biggest Norwegian headline show to date at Rockefeller in Oslo the 18th of February.

Kalandra comments: 
“We are excited to share a sneak peek from the performance with the release of a single track and video, “Segla”, a song that takes on a very different character live compared to the studio version. It was a special night for us: a sold-out show in London in the middle of a long European tour, with an amazing audience. We’re grateful that the moment was captured, and we feel the release reflects some of the energy we shared that night.

A limited number of physical vinyl copies of “Live in London” will be available exclusively for purchase at our concert at Rockefeller in Oslo on the 18th of February.” Get your tickets HERE.

Time has a quiet way of moving – celebrating 15 years of Kalandra 

For many listeners, the Norwegian/Swedish group Kalandra came to prominence for their atmospheric and captivating Nordic soundscapes in 2020 with the release of their debut album The Line. Yet long before that breakthrough, the story was already taking shape — in rehearsal rooms, on intimate stages, and in songs that were written, rewritten, and sometimes left behind. From major festival appearances such as Hellfest to touring across Australia and Europe, and supporting artists including Heilung, Wardruna and Leprous, Kalandra have steadily built an international reputation. Now, in 2026, the band reaches a milestone: 15 years of music, growth and creative evolution. 

The anniversary concert the 18th of February will feature special guests and guest musicians, as well as performances with both new material and fan favourites from across their 15-year career. On this special occation, a limited-edition vinyl of Live in London will be available exclusively on the night of the show, alongside new merchandise. 

Kalandra began in 2011, when Katrine started the band while studying in Liverpool. The lineup shifted in the early days, but Jogeir joined later that same year, followed by Florian the year after. In those early Liverpool years, they played live almost every other week at open mics, band nights, and small venues, learning through repetition and persistence.

A turning point came with the EP Beneath the Breaking Waves, recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool. It marked a shift in intention — choosing to write music that spoke honestly to themselves rather than following any given path. Believing that honesty in creation might allow the music to find its own way forward. Not long after, the band returned to Norway, where Oskar Rydh joined and the lineup was completed — and has remained unchanged since. 

Following the success of their debut album The Line and their atmospheric soundtrack for the video game Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands, Kalandra returned in 2024 with their second album A Frame of Mind. Drawing on years of collaboration and creative confidence, the record stands as their most expansive work to date — showcasing versatility and new dimensions of their sound while staying true to the immersive atmosphere that defines them. 

Over time, the circle has widened. Through their acclaimed cover of Helvegen, two studio albums, collaborations with ByNorse and AISA, and with their extensive touring abroad: Kalandra’s music has travelled far beyond its Nordic roots and continues to expand their audience across the world. The band looks back on their 15 years with gratitude and reflects:

“What we built didn’t happen overnight, but step by step — shaped by trust, patience and a shared purpose. Over time, the music has found its way to more listeners, resonating in ways we could never have predicted. Thank you for listening, for staying, and for walking this path with us. We are ready for the next 15!”
