Watching different people experience this band and there’s always a pause of stunned silence before they speak, there’s so much to take in, it’s like an assault on the senses.

Thanks for reacting to this fantastic band! They deserve a lot more exposure. BTW, Kalandra is the name of the band. Katrine Stenbekk is the singer. She has quickly become one of my favorite singers. She's amazing and always puts on a great live performance too. But the rest of the band (including a new permanent drummer) is also great. I *highly* recommend "Slow Motion" live from Gildehallen, if you really want to hear some crazy vocals from Katrine!

Close your eyes and sleep Ignore all the burdens that you keep Come whatever may They could never harm you anyway Stirrings in the wind Resonates a whisper from within Warnings from afar Telling you to heed the morning star Waking from the dream Witnessing the smoke that's rolling in The end is what you fear The scent of embers lingers in the air It's like a web there is no escape from It's got you trapped and you long for freedom Every wish every dream was granted Never knowing what they demanded You see the wall how it's getting higher You want to fight but you're all divided It's not a world anyone can thrive in Is this the world we were meant to grow in? Somebody tell me where are we going? A brave new world will rise If we do not act upon its lies Hold your tongues no more Learn from all the ones who came before Catch the wind and fight the storm Through the fury we're holding on Take your time but not too long Make it worth the time you own You woke a fire inside of me Fanned the flame and made it breathe You woke a fire inside of me Inside of me Inside of me

Oooo. Yes it is.

Kalandra also make some brilliant videos to their songs. Very talented people

Great reaction. The song was inspired by the Aldous Huxley novel of the same name. Kalandra is the name of the band. Katrine (pronounced Katreena) Stenbekk is the singer, who also does solo work and collaborations with other artists. She also briefly joined Norwegian cultural project band Wardruna to help out with backing vocals on their live ‘First Flight of the White Raven’ album. Kalandra have to date produced only one studio album but lots of great tracks on that, and there are also a couple of great freestanding covers from them. The live performance of ‘Slow Motion’ has already been mentioned as a recommendation, but you should also listen to ‘Borders’ and their brilliant cover of Wardruna’s ‘Helvegen’, which I prefer to the Wardruna/Aurora version. Actually, I prefer Katrine’s singing voice to Aurora’s most days of the week.

Kalandra is AMAZING! Listen to their song "Borders" It may change you all together.

It's based on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Great reaction!

Thanks for the info Tor!

More please!

Wow 😲

It's not George Orwell, it's Aldous Huxley's Brave new World and yes, this song is based on that book. I love Kalandra. Besides Aurora, they are one of my favs. Great Band.

@@nickforell1 I can totally see why you thought of Orwell. His book "1984" is along the same lines as Brave New World. I can see how you would make that mistake. I'm sure many people do.

Woah! I didn't understand anything she said but I'm going to look up her music because it was so good,.

The brave new world is not what we want. Once you have read the lyrics you will understand the meaning. This band stands with the rest of humanity. Unlike a lot of pop stars I could think of.

Great reaction Nick. Kalandra are superb and Katrine's voice is utterly hypnotic.

Try Grisleyman, Borders, Not a fairytale or Slow motion❤

Ooh yay! I thought you’d appreciate Kalandra. Katrine is the lead singer. They may not get you tonnes of views I’m afraid.. but I just wanted to see the look on your face when you heard her voice. Borders would be an awesome music video to check out. Stunning!

Thank you for reacting to Kalandra. They don't get anything near the recognition they deserve. ' Grizzly Man' and 'Slow Motion' are good enough but 'Waiting Game' and 'Borders' are epic. You might want to leave Borders til last but it's your call and your channel.

Try out Kalandras Slow motion or Borders👍

Nice interpretation. Loved this. At first I was getting an Enya-ish vibe but the second half…whoa! She’s marching into battle!

Hello, Nick! I'm so excited that you've discovered Kalandra as well 🙂 It is one of my favorite bands in this genre. I'll just throw in a suggestion for my personal favorite by them, even though it's not their own song. Exactly 6 years ago they performed at SOFAR (SOngs From A Room). They performed a cover of Rockettothesky's "Grizzly Man", and the whole thing is just beautiful 🙂 I'll try to drop the link, and see if it stays : kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6Ga2quBcdmpiZs.html Have a great weekend, buddy! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
