Could this mean new music or a new Norfrica tour is on the horizon?
The enigmatic metal band, Norfrica, made waves when they first came on the scene years ago. They seemed to appear out of nowhere, taking the world by storm with their debut and have held that attention ever since. Fans of the band are seen everywhere, even A-listers wearing their band shirt to show off their support. Their unique lyrics about slaying evil and demons have made them stand out from their competition.
“The Angels have fallen
My allies are beaten and broken down
I shed not a tear
After all this is why we are here!
A war we were not supposed to win
So if I’m supposed to die tonight…
I’ll kill every demon that stands in my sight!
GO!!!”
Fans of Norfrica know these Glorious Death song lyrics by heart. The fandom has spread outside of metalheads to all corners of music and entertainment. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of Norfrica or can’t sing at least one of their songs.
Norfrica’s tours and concerts are legendary. Some spectators estimate half a million dollars in pyrotechnics per show, while others claim the otherworldly visuals are a form of magick. In a world where Excepts seem more and more the norm, the truth probably lies somewhere in between.
Speaking of Excepts—how could these two band members be mere mortals? Of course, we’re talking about Validan and Takhari, the massive seven-foot frontmen often called gods who walk the earth. Their formidable size, muscular forms, fable-inspired costumes, and undeniable stage presence make it easy to see why fans have elevated them to divine status.
The mystery behind Norfrica only adds to their lore. They made headlines when they very publicly turned down a contract from star-making uber label, Copper Records, stating they would not “work with evil men.” Owner Michael Copper responded with bravado, but the band’s Validan and Takhari quickly dismissed the idea of ever joining. To this day, Norfrica has never played with Copper Records’ artists—further solidifying their image as uncompromising and fiercely independent.
One of the hardest-working acts in music, Norfrica has toured the globe, performing everywhere from stadiums to dive bars. They carry no ego about where they play, keeping fans guessing where they’ll appear next. The band rarely shares details about their process, insisting they prefer to “let the music speak for itself.”
And the music does speak for itself. As a fan, I’m chomping at the bit for the possibility of new tracks this year. Whether it’s an album or a tour, one thing is certain: when Norfrica returns, they’ll do it their way—and it will be unforgettable.
