Norwegian progressive band Gazpacho release new music video for “Sky King”
Gazpacho, the progressive rock band from Norway, has recently released a new music video for their single, “Sky King,” from their latest album, “Magic 8-Ball.” The song was inspired by the story of Richard Russell, a ground service agent with no formal flight training who stole an aircraft and flew alone for over an hour while engaging in live conversations with air traffic control. The band dedicated the song to Russell as a tribute to human dignity and the refusal to conform to societal norms.
The album “Magic 8-Ball” is currently available on sparkle vinyl, black vinyl, CD, and digital formats. The album features a tracklist that includes songs like “Starling,” “We Are Strangers,” and “Magic 8-Ball.” Gazpacho is recognized for their innovative approach to modern progressive music, combining elements of art rock with cinematic storytelling.

The band is set to embark on a European tour in March, with performances lined up in countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and France. Support for the tour will come from the French band, Hamasaari.
