Krokofant 7 Limited Edition Vinyl

Double heavyweight transparent blue vinyl. Comes in gatefold cover.Limited to 500 copies.In June 2025, Krokofant suffered a profound loss with the passing of their dear friend and original drummer Axel Skalstad. Guitarist Tom Hasslan and saxophonist Jørgen Mathisen chose to honour his memory by continuing the band, bringing in new drummer Ole Mofjell and bass player Rune Nergaard.The summer of 2025 became a time of deep sorrow and grief, but it also sparked an intense creative outpouring for Hasslan and Mathisen. The new lineup quickly found its voice, with Mofjell delivering a powerful, dynamic style that blends the swinging intensity of Elvin Jones with the thunderous fusion power of Billy Cobham.Rune Nergaard anchors the music with his signature heavy bass riffing. His muscular, driving style draws natural comparisons to King Crimson’s legendary bassists — particularly John Wetton’s powerful, rock-infused aggression and Tony Levin’s inventive, weighty groove and textural approach.Unwilling to leave any of the material behind, they are releasing everything as a double album titled “7” — a raw, expansive, and deeply personal work that serves as both a tribute to Skalstad and a bold new chapter for Krokofant.
