Kalandra - _Onto the fire_
{% end %}

I discovered this wonderful band while attending the Fjell og Ord (Mountains
and Words) festival at Finse 1222 this last weekend of september. Finse is
located at the topmost point on the railway between Bergen and Oslo, and is an
excellent base for walking in one of the most beautiful but harsh areas of the
Norwegian mountains.

In accordance with the theme for the festival - quiet - the band performed a
purely accoustic set the first night. They're originally a six-piece, but for
this appearance only three members was present. The next day we got to see a
more "plugged" set where one of the accoustic guitars was exchanged for an
electric one. There was also some more experimental use of effects on the
vocals. Both sets were very well performed, and showed a band that's both
confident and able to come close to the audience.
