Krokofant is out with the double album «7» on 27 November – a raw, energetic and personal album that marks the start of a new chapter for the band. Now they take the music out on the road and invite you to concerts full of punch, contrasts and musical freedom.
The album and tour come in the wake of the loss of drummer Axel Skalstad, who passed away in 2025. For Krokofant «7» therefore marks not only a new musical chapter, but also a release with a strong personal significance. At the same time Axel's energy and musicality live on in the band's expression and in the music he helped create.
Audiences can as usual expect a powerful mix of jazz, prog rock and heavy, riff-based rock. Here come dark and epic riffs, explosive outbursts, fat grooves and open passages where the music gets to develop freely in the moment.
With the new lineup featuring Ole Mofjell on drums and Rune Nergaard on bass, Krokofant has found a fresh and tight expression. It sounds massive and precise, but also playful and unpredictable – with plenty of room for improvisation and spontaneous turns.
«7» gathers the material the band has worked on over time, and spans from hard-hitting and intense songs to more open and exploratory landscapes. The album draws lines back to Krokofant's history, while pointing clearly forward.
The album must of course be celebrated with concert(s), and Krokofant is very much looking forward to it!
