Today, KEEP OF KALESSIN are cracking open the next chapter of their long and prosperous journey. The band have signed with Season of Mist, who will release their next two albums and reissue some of the defining moments from their extensive back catalogue.

“We are very proud and excited to announce that we have signed with Season of Mist“, Arnt Obsidian says on behalf of his bandmates Robin Isaksen and Wanja Gröger. “I have known Michael for more than 20 years. He has always been passionate about the music and very supportive of his signings. Back in 1999, Keep of Kalessin played three shows in Norway with Bloodthorn, who were signed to Season of Mist at the time. Michael traveled all the way up from France just to see them.

“Our paths have crossed many times since that tour. I’ve watched Michael build one of the strongest metal labels in the world. His staff shares in his extreme passion. What they’ve accomplished is an amazing feat.

“Keep of Kalessin has always been the underdog, the loner, the different kid. We’re a unique band and cannot be put into a certain category. It’s been difficult finding a home where our potential can be nurtured and harnessed to its full potential. But after talking with Michael and seeing how we fit with Season of Mist’s roster, I’m confident that we’ve now found a label that understands and can truly support us while we take the band to the next level. You can be sure that Keep of Kalessin will return with the best Epic Extreme Metal we’ve ever done in 2025!”
