Details
* SOLD OUT *
Seeing Nordic Giants live has been described as akin to a religious experience: the multi-screen visuals, powerful strobes and exquisitely timed accompaniment create a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
Following on from the success of their debut album – ‘A Sèance of Dark Delusions’ and their documentary/soundtrack project – ‘Amplify Human Vibration’, the mysterious Nordic Giants emerge from hiding with their second studio album simply entitled – ‘Symbiosis’.
‘Symbiosis’ aims to pay homage to 10 years of Nordic Giants live performances & music and as those who have seen the live show will attest, it is a visceral experience that goes far beyond the normal descriptors!
The performance will include many songs from the new album, as well as a mix of older songs spanning the last 10 years. Expect brand new films as well as some older classics – to shock, awe and inspire!
“Sound and visuals collide impressively… their inspired mix of sorcery and secrecy makes for a potent and highly original spectacle.” – Classic Rock
“They make a sound as if they were Sigur Ros’s more epic, cinematic and majestic siblings” – The Guardian
“They are in their element on stage, combining the grandeur of their music with short films, and making creative use of the live space for a full immersive experience.” – Metro
Age 18+

+ support from Bleaklow
Bleaklow is made of Claire Knox and Richard Knox (A-Sun Amissa / Shield Patterns etc.). The duo create distorted and billowing songs from fractured melodies and crumbling ambient drones.
Using minimal instrumentation, 4 track recorders and field recordings, Bleaklow’s sound is a hypnotic swoon, moving between fragile spacious notes and blown-out ethereal noise.
