WIZRD is a boundary-pushing Norwegian rock band that effortlessly blends genres, from rock and indie to jazz and prog. While they know
the rules, they take pride in breaking them. On their highly anticipated second album, Elements, WIZRD dives deeper into uncharted
musical waters—experimenting with new styles, fresh melodic paths, and both extended and condensed song structures, all while introducing Norwegian lyrics. Though the album is eclectic, it remains unmistakably WIZRD, unified by a distinct, cohesive sound.

Recorded at the legendary Athletic Sound studio in Halden, the ambiance of both the studio and the city itself left an indelible mark on Elements. The result is an album that feels organic yet unpredictable, with a mix of carefully crafted and spontaneous elements. Every
decision in the making of the album influenced its outcome—change one thing, and Elements would have been something entirely
different. Co-produced, recorded, and mixed by Dag Erik Johansen alongside the band, his contributions were vital to shaping the final
sound.

Formed at the Jazz Conservatory in Trondheim, WIZRD's lineup features four talented musicians: Hallvard Gaardløs (Spidergawd,
Draken) on bass and lead vocals, Karl Bjorå (Megalodon Collective) on guitar and vocals, Vegard Lien Bjerkan (Soft Ffog) on keyboards
and vocals, and Axel Skalstad (Krokofant, Soft Ffog) on drums. Together, they’ve crafted Elements—a diverse and dynamic record that
showcases WIZRD’s fearless creativity.
