20 years of Karisma Records anniversary festival
From its beginning as a hobby project, started to release albums with talented friends, Karisma Records has grown to become one of the most significant and recognized record companies in the Nordics within progressive rock and related genres. In connection with the record company’s 20th anniversary, we invite you to a one-day festival on two stages at Det Akademiske Kvarter in Bergen and concerts with a number of artists from the company’s roster.
Tickets available HERE.
WOBBLER is internationally recognized as one of the leading bands within the part of the progressive scene that draws its main inspiration from the 70s. The band has released 5 records and is among the most in demand on Karisma Records.
OAK has a modern expression that mixes rock, prog and dark pop. The band has released 3 albums, 2 of which on Karisma Records and are receiving very good reviews worldwide.
MAGIC PIE has become a household name for prog fans around the world with their blend of classic prog and 70’s hard rock inspired by bands such as Dream Theater, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Deep Purple, Yes, etc. Fronted by band leader and guitar maestro Kim Stenberg, the band are known for their epic, energetic, melodic and sometimes heavy prog rock with splendid vocal harmonies and great musicianship.
Even though we are closing in on 10 years since the last BRIMSTONE release “Mannsverk”, we are very pleased to have the band as part of the line up. With their unique blend of 60s and 70s inspired rock mixing in elements from both prog and psychedelic rock, the band has been a personal favorite among parts of the label staff, a somewhat dusty gem from Bergen for you to discover.
Hailing from Trondheim, Norway, Arabs in Aspic have their roots firmly planted in the Golden Era of rock, as exemplified by their sound, which is a sweet mixture of loud, heavy guitars and drums, 12 string acoustics, funky bass and percussion, screaming Hammond organs, soft Rhodes, Mellotrons and 70’s Synths, topped with plentiful vocal harmonies.
TUSMØRKE is a psychedelic, progressive folk rock band from Skien, Norway, playing music inspired by the international bronze age, local myth, paradolia and stargazing. When they’re not writing 26-minute songs about The Black Death, they like to express themselves through concept albums about Danish Iron Age swamp mummies and abstract theories of light (and darkness).
With their new album “SUMMIT” releasing May the 26th, now is the perfect time to see SEVEN IMPALE perform!
The new album “SUMMIT” continues in a well-known Seven Impale style, blending jazz and progressive rock with more heavy influences into four juggernaut tracks.
NB: AIRBAG have been forced to cancel their performance and are replaced by ARABS IN ASPIC.
