localqueen Not only is this some of their best work yet, it was one of the best songs released in 2023 Favorite track: Bardaginn.

Nickie Harte Kelly Right up my Nordic alley comes this single from Kalandra (the title translates to “The Battle.”), and there is an accompanying video available on YT, as well. Here, they have used one of my favourite languages, Old Norse, and created a stunning and powerful piece of music. Lead singer Katrine and the band have made proper homage to Odin, I am sure he will be pleased, and I expect you will, as well.

Alice M. The powerful twist took me by surprise – and it was already pretty good before that.

about

Kalandra have released a brand new single, "Bardaginn". The title means 'fight' or 'battle', whether it’s experienced from within or out in the real world. The meaninglessness of it all, yet the importance for humans to find meaning in fighting for something, or someone.

The release is accompanied by a stunning music video by Ragnarok Film which can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcpe23dG-jk

Vocalist Katrine was curious about making a timeless lyrics using the Old Norse language. She teamed up with Norwegian lyricist and language consultant Alexander Lykke, and together with guitarists Jogeir and Florian and drummer Oskar, they’ve created a song unlike anything Kalandra has ever composed before.

The band comments: "For our next single release we all knew it was important for us to try and challenge ourselves creatively, and yet still somehow manage to keep that light playfulness in the creative process, where absolutely anything was allowed. Although it at times seemed like an impossible task to piece together, it feels as if we’ve managed to really pull out the best in every member of the band, and really showcase what we’re made of, both individually and as a team.

Bardaginn is fun, but also bloody serious. We’re very proud of each other and what we’ve made, and we can’t wait to play it live."

i like this version better than the original. The middle part has that aggression that makes the excellent balance with the beginning and ending of the song. owlobo
