Hailing from the quaint town of Skultuna, Sweden, Enchanted Duo brings forth a unique musical blend, weaving together the captivating world of Nordic nature and folklore with the power of progressive rock. Unfolding an ethereal sonic journey within each track, their angelic vocals, dreamy instrumentation, and immersive electro-organic textures transport listeners deep to the cathartic beauty of the Scandinavian forest.

Initially united by romance, Anneli and Nikolaus von Knorring’s shared passion for music soon took centre stage, recording together from 2003 in the humble settings of their kitchen. Through the years, the duo explored their own solo ventures until 2007 when they joined forces as Enchanted Duo. The release of their 2017 album, “Explorers,” fully crystallised their distinctive sound – a fusion of ambient rock, modern progressive rock, and post-rock elements that tastefully channels the influence of artists like Grimes, Patrick Wolf, Riverside, IQ, and ‘80s rock and metal bands.

Following a decade in the corporate world, Anneli and Nikolaus decided to redefine their path in 2020, collaborating with global talents including Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats, Paul Gilbert, Steven Wilson, Kreator), Mohini Dey (MaMoGi, Steve Vai), and Morgan Ågren (Mats/Morgan Band, Frank Zappa, Devin Townsend). This transformative period not only marked a musical evolution but also saw Anneli realizing her childhood dream of becoming an author, resulting in two bestselling books on Amazon.

A significant milestone arrived in 2023 as their track “Be the River” claimed the #2 spot in Prog’s Tracks of the Week. Building on this success, the duo released Werifesteria in September 2024, an enchanting concept album that promises an immersive fusion of poetry, lore, love, and music. Werifesteria transports listeners to a mystical world, echoing the call of the wilderness and exploring the depths of human emotion through spellbinding melodies and evocative storytelling. Each track is a journey into the heart of the Scandinavian forest, where the line between the natural and supernatural fades, encapsulating Enchanted Duo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of their creative realm.

The album has garnered critical acclaim, with CLASH describing it as “remarkable,” while Earmilk hailed the duo as “sonic storytellers.” Plastic Magazine praised the track “Dive,” stating, “‘Dive’ blends elements of prog rock, jazz, and folk into a spectacular sonic voyage featuring dazzling vocals, exceptional musicianship, and progressive songwriting. This gripping song offers a truly theatrical sound unlike anything else, brought to life by the visionary talents of this compelling partnership in both music and life.”
