Kalandra is a Norwegian/Swedish quartet that blends melancholic Nordic folk with gritty guitars and ethereal melodies, crafting haunting musical landscapes rooted in raw emotion and cinematic depth.
Formed in 2011, the band has spent over a decade shaping a sound that is uniquely their own—building a dedicated studio space, refining their musical identity, and supporting acts such as Leprous, Gåte, Wardruna, A.A. Williams, and Eivør.
Following the success of their 2020 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 from their years of growth and collaboration, the new record is their most expansive to date—showcasing versatility while staying true to the immersive soundscape that defines them.
A Frame of Mind invites listeners on an introspective journey, reflecting on how life’s experiences shape our perception of the world. The album explores what we choose to include—and exclude—within the frame of our everyday lives, revisiting memories of hardship, childhood, and the growing uncertainty of the future.
With performances at major festivals like Hellfest and Midgardsblot, Kalandra continues to expand their audience across Europe. In 2025, the band sets out on another European tour in May/June, followed by select summer festivals, before heading to Australia for the very first time in November.
