KAASIN – The Underworld (2026) *0dayrox Premiere* *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

Norwegian classic hard rockers KAASIN return in 2026 with their new studio album ”The Underworld”, to be released by Pride & Joy Music on April 24, 2026. And we are presenting it exclusive at 0dayrox.
Founded by guitarist Jo Henning Kaasin, who in the past has collaborated with Joe Lynn Turner, Glenn Hughes, Doogie White, and Bernie Marsden, as well as being the founding member of COME TASTE THE BAND, a group who began as a Deep Purple tribute act, and released their lone album of original material in 2019, which featured guest appearances from JL Turner and Doogie White.
In January 2020 JH Kaasin went on to form his own band, simply called KAASIN. He recruited his cousin, Staale Kaasin from Spider and 2020 Vision, to handle bass. The band also features Norwegian powerhouse singer Jan Thore Grefstad, known for his incredible vocal duties with Highland Glory and TNT.
”The Underworld” marks a new chapter for KAASIN, presenting a darker and more atmospheric sound while remaining firmly rooted in classic hard rock traditions built on strong melodies and solid musicianship.

The foundation of KAASIN was laid with a clear ambition: to create contemporary hard rock with a classic spirit and a strong sense of identity. And the latter is where KAASIN has made a step forward with ”The Underworld”: the songwriting still is classic but sonically they explore their own vibe.
Grefstad’s voice is powerful and expressive all over the record, and alongside Jo Henning Kaasin’s guitar work, are defining elements of KAASIN’s sound. Keyboard player Erling Henanger (Magic Pie, Holter) contributes with varied colors, all over a precise rhythm section.

KAASIN is already a well known name on the European hard rock scene. Their debut album received excellent reviews and was voted Album of the Year by the readers of Norway’s leading rock magazine Rockman, and the band played all over the continent.
New album ”The Underworld” will bring new fans for sure, and surprise the established, as the band feels confident, with stronger songwriting and performances.
Highly Recommended
