 https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/4778167-Barock-7

Progressive rockband from Stavanger, Norway. They released only one record, "Bare En Blåveis" in 1976 with https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/297052-Johnny-Sareussen" rel="nofollow - Johnny Sareussen as producer.
The band consisted of 
https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/791964-Magne-Høyland" rel="nofollow - Magne Høyland , Vocals
https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/681269-Anders-Bru" rel="nofollow - Anders Bru , El Guit
https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/825961-Bjørn-Aslaksen" rel="nofollow - Bjørn Aslaksen , Ac Guit
https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/2531400-Reidar-Olsen" rel="nofollow - Reidar Olsen , Bass
https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/825959-Sveinung-Sand" rel="nofollow - Sveinung Sand , Violin
and https://www.discogs.com/fr/artist/791961-Tommi-Haukland" rel="nofollow - Tommi Haukland . Drums

The album had all the right ingredients for a real progrock album in the 70s; long, improvisational solos, multi-thematic compositions, performances of classical and folk, parties with electric violin and drum solos. The lyrics was both in Norwegian and English and some of them collected by the poets Oscar Wilde and Hans Børli.

I'm afraid there isn't much more than three tracks available on listen on YT and you can find them on the Discogs page

a few others well hidden

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
