Topics rock, metal, live-concerts, music-festival, norwegian-music

Not bothered by trends, masks, matching outfits or whatever else that seems to be popular, Norway's Bokassa aim to please themselves more than anything. Still they've managed to try deep fried pizza in Scotland, cheese fondue in the Alps and also play some of the world's biggest festivals, and support acts such as Judas Priest, Clutch and Mastodon, to name a few. And of course Metallica. In 2019 they were picked from complete obscurity by Lars Ulrich to support Metallica on stadiums all over EU, UK and Russia. Ulrich hailed them as "his favourite new band" and described them as "Insanely fucking cool" after hearing the trios first album Divide & Conquer. Since then they’ve been nominated for a Norwegian Grammy, won the prestigious Bendiksenprisen and released three more albums.“Count on Bokassa to keep serving up absolute bangers” Kerrang's Sam Law wrote in his review of their newest, 2024s “All Out of Dreams”.
