Биография

Norwegian power trio Bokassa fuse stoner rock and metal with catchy punk rock into their own stoner punk. Bokassa has played all over Norway and Europe, some of the worlds biggest festivals (Wacken, Download, Hellfest, Øya, Rockfest, Tons of Rock etc) and supported @Mastodon, @Baroness, Judas Priest and offcourse Metallica.. In 2019 they were handpicked by Lars Ulrich to support Metallica alongside Ghost on their stadium tour all over Europe, UK and Russia. The legendary drummer hailed them "his favourite new band" and described them "Insanely fucking cool" after hearing the trios first album Divide & Conquer. 
 Their ferocious debut album was also hailed by critics worldwide and Metal Hammer called the album one of the best debuts of 2017. After their sophomore album they released «Live At The BBC» in 2020 from their BBC Radio 1 live session at the legendary Maida Vale studio and was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy as «Breakthrough of the year». 
 In 2021 Bokassa released their third album «Molotov Rocktail» on Napalm Records and charted at #18 on the Norwegian album charts. The album was met with critical acclaim from Kerrang, Rock Hard, Distorted Sound, Adressa and Metal Hammer among others. The latter had the following to say about the bands third effort: «Molotov Rocktail threatens to burst the bubble separating 'classic - sounding' records and straight - up classics, easily delivering the most fun stoner record since Monster Magnet's Powertrip in the process.»
