NEWS - Post-Metal/ Norwegian Experimental Project MAGNIFY THE SOUND Announces New Album.

Releasing 27 February 2026, Searching For A Quiet Place is the second album from Magnify The Sound, the duo of guitarist Trond Engum (The 3rd & The Mortal / The Soundbyte) and drummer Carl Haakon Waadeland (with a rhythmic language refined over decades in different ensembles), now expanded with Tone Åse (voice) and Sturla Eide (fiddle & Hardanger fiddle).

Electric guitar, drums, voice and Hardanger fiddle collide in a fierce, cinematic search for a unique expression.

Across six compositions, the music is improvised yet carefully sculpted, each piece interlocking into a larger whole. It draws its roots from Norwegian folk tradition (Waadeland's pulse, Eide's timbre), stretches to the outer boundaries of metal (Engum's unmistakable guitar tone), and Åse's unique and ethereal voice. Together, it carries the narrative focus of experienced improvisers.
