The Tronosonic Experience is an eclectic progressive rock band from Norway, fusing Jazz, Punk, Heavy Psych and a pinch of noise rock creating a sound adjacent to that of prog titans Van Der Graaf Generator, Eloy and Nektar. The band has many influences, all come together to make a brutal yet fresh sound

I fear that the information in your suggestion isn't going to be sufficient to use for a biography. We also need a band photo before the suggestion will be considered by one of our teams. This photo is from the band's Facebook:  I found enough info to write a useable though quite brief biography in some on line reviews of the band's albums, but couldn't confirm when the band was actually formed, or in which year the change of drummer occurred, so I contacted them via Facebook Messenger. They replied within a few hours and supplied the following information, posted here with a few edits and additions by myself: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE TRONOSONIC EXPERIENCE is a Norwegian four-piece band which started off as a research project of bassist Per Harald OTTESEN during his ongoing master's degree at the University of Agder, Norway, in 2015. The band consists of Ole Jørgen BARDAL on saxophones, Øyvind NYPAN on guitars, Jan Inge NILSEN on percussion and Per Harald OTTESEN on bass. The music is composed by Per Harald OTTESEN, with arrangements made collaboratively. The band has functioned as a collective where everyone has been involved in the musical process, although the framework comes from bassist Per Harald. The original drummer Ivar Loe BJØRNSTAD (HEDVIG MOLLESTAD TRIO) was replaced by Jango NILSEN in 2018. Their self-titled debut album was released via Losen Records in August 2017, and the follow up 'II: The Big Blow' via Apollon Records in February 2019. THE TRONOSONIC EXPERIENCE recorded their third and fourth albums, 'The Shadow Vol I' and 'The Shadow Vol II', at Ocean Sound Recordings in December 2019. Mixing was done by Mike HARTUNG at Propeller Music Division, Oslo, and the albums were mastered by Morgan NICOLAYSEN at Propeller Mastering. Due to COVID-19 and severe illness within the band, the process took longer than initially anticipated, and the release plans were put on hold until spring 2022. In 2020, bassist Per Harald OTTESEN was informed that leukemia had returned, and after a period of illness, Per passed away in February 2022. The last two albums were released on Apollon Records after he had passed away, both albums being released in March 2022, with Vol II being released a week after Vol I. THE TRONOSONIC EXPERIENCE plays music that falls between instrumental avant-rock and punk-jazz, with influences ranging from Ornette COLEMAN and Albert AYLER to early BLACK SABBATH, KING CRIMSON, and TERJE RYPDAL & THE CHASERS. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully this will be sufficient to allow an evaluation to proceed. Note to team: If approved for addition to the database, please credit the band for supplying the biography - even though I have edited it slightly myself. Edit: Sorry Jacob, I didn't notice that you'd already provided a link to that same band photo in your original post. All albums except the self-titled debut are on Bandcamp: https://thetronosonicexperience.bandcamp.com/. The debut can be heard on Soundcloud or Spotify.

Well they are Norwegian so they must be prog! I've added them to my library and will no doubt be an excellent addition to my Friday listening pleasure.
