Breidablik is a progressive electronic band from Bergen, Norway. Breidablik was formed by Morten Birkeland Nielsen in 2013 with the aim of creating music similar to the classic Berlin School of Electronic Music movement in the 1970 and 1980s, although with a more contemporary musical expression. Breidablik’s music is mainly based on analog synthesizers, although acoustic and electric guitars, as well as flutes and percussion, are frequently used to contrast the electronic sounds.

Breidablik’s three first album releases, Vinter (2017), Penumbra (2017), and Nhoohr (2019) has gained the band a solid following and reputation among both fans and the press. “Synths & Sequences” describes Nhoohr as “A splendid album with a perfect balance between its inspirations, generations and ambiences....”. The latest release, "Omicron" from 2020 has been very well-received. 

Synths and Sequences made the following conclusion: 

"As for OMICRON, Breidablik succeeded in bringing its music to another level of excellence by offering an album of exceptional quality where the high-tension cinematic genre fits to the essence of vintage Berlin School in a vision of its own. Splendid from A to Z!"

"It’s easy to forget about ambient when we stand everyday hearing to all the metal we do. It’s easy to happen but it’s not easy to the point that it’s frequent, because, fortunately, there are bands/projects as Breidablik to remind us why it is one of the styles we most enjoy. Principally due to the treasures they offer us, as it is the case with “Omicron”, their most recent work. “Omicron” is composed by two songs, loyal to the good and classical way of Mike Oldfield in “Tubular Bells”. They are two themes where we venture in a personal voyage that fluctuates between progressive rock and drone. The two styles of voyage are always very subjective, each listener has their own and each one has its own destination. It isn’t required for this many trips to arrive at the conclusion that the destination is irrelevant, and that what matters is the path walked in order to achieve it. It’s a trip constituted by forty three minutes of astonishing music." 9/10 Review by Fernando Ferreira
