While creating this material, I kept returning to one thought: everything we take for granted — everything that feels stable and permanent — is, in reality, incredibly fragile. Nothing lasts forever, and the sense of things slipping away can hit much sooner than we expect. I tried to translate those feelings into sound. At that time, a lot of difficult things were happening in my life, things I didn’t know how to cope with. Music became a form of therapy — a way to process emotions I couldn’t express in any other way. In early 2024, we began working through the songs together as a full band. After finalizing the arrangements, we spent the rest of the year recording them. The process stretched over many months, split into several sessions across different studios. I didn’t want to rush anything. I wanted, as always, to refine every detail the best we possibly could. Soon you’ll be able to hear the result for yourselves. For me, this album is something deeply personal. It’s an act of opening up to anyone who chooses to listen — a glimpse into things I can’t fully describe with words, into what I felt and who I became during that period. I’m incredibly happy that together with my friends from the band, we’ve created another record. What comes next… time will tell.Krokofant - NO | Rune Grammofonhttps://krokofant.bandcamp.comGenre: Heavy Progressive Jazz RockFFO: Sex Magick Wizards, Meshuggah, ZUKrokofant is a pioneering Norwegian progressive jazz-rock trio, widely regarded as one of the founders of the vibrant contemporary scene blending heavy riffs, free improvisation, and melodic flair. Formed in 2010 in Kongsberg, the band originally emerged as a duo when guitarist Tom Hasslan and drummer Axel Skalstad—both former winners of the Kongsberg Jazz Festival recruitment scholarship—met in a local music shop and began exploring free music together. In 2012, they were joined by saxophonist Jørgen Mathisen, an established player known for his work with groups like Shagma, The Core, and Zanussi Five. Their explosive debut album arrived in 2014 on Rune Grammofon, quickly earning acclaim for its fusion of 1970s influences (King Crimson, Soft Machine, Mahavishnu Orchestra) with Coltrane-inspired intensity. Over the years, Krokofant released five acclaimed albums, occasionally expanding to a quintet with organist Ståle Storløkken and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten for two releases and numerous tours. In 2025, the band returned to its core trio format for the album 6 (released on Is It Jazz? Records), celebrating a renewed focus on collective improvisation and raw energy.Tragically, the original lineup was shattered earlier in 2025 by the sudden death of co-founder and drummer Axel Skalstad at the age of 32. In the wake of this profound loss, Krokofant has forged ahead with a completely new rhythm section, introducing Ole Mofjell on drums and Rune Nergaard on bass alongside longtime members Tom Hasslan (guitar) and Jørgen Mathisen (saxophone). This refreshed quartet honors the band’s legacy while opening new creative paths, maintaining the signature blend of chugging riffs, soaring melodies, and fearless improvisation that has defined Krokofant from the start. The band continues to push boundaries, proving resilient and forward-looking in the face of adversity. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/berlin/usu-pres-weedpecker-krokofant-|-neue-zukunft-25022026/100001977501331716 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, jazz - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 24.51, max: 24.51, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Berlin - **state**: BE - **country**: Germany - **location**: Neue Zukunft - **lat**: 52.4974177 - **long**: 13.4658588 - **full address**: Neue Zukunft, Alt-Stralau 68, Berlin, Germany ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: USU pres.: Weedpecker + Krokofant | Neue Zukunft - 25.02.2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/50f1120aed4d9a81b27ebad5307743b9e598dc7a6fb466156d5494aa9789f09b-rimg-w1080-h1350-dc020202-gmir.jpg?v=1766917286 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is USU pres.: Weedpecker + Krokofant | Neue Zukunft - 25.02.2026 being held? - **A:** USU pres.: Weedpecker + Krokofant | Neue Zukunft - 25.02.2026 takes place on Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 11:30 pm at Neue Zukunft, Alt-Stralau 68, Berlin, Germany. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for USU pres.: Weedpecker + Krokofant | Neue Zukunft - 25.02.2026? - **A:** Tickets for USU pres.: Weedpecker + Krokofant | Neue Zukunft - 25.02.2026 are priced at EUR 25 per person.
