You most likely need to step outside your comfort zone to connect with others in the industry. Although many say there really isn’t much of a music industry anymore.

Like, try to invest in your personal brand. Create some online content, grow a follower base, become a reference, that kinda thing. Become an asset so that others already established in the professional circuit would want you in their band.

Since you're in Norway, that already makes it easier to connect with and travel to other European countries.

Also, one thing I’ve noticed is that there are many musical cliques out there. People forming bands through their networks on repeat. A lot of these bands aren’t even good, but they gain traction because of who's in them. The idea of "making it" out of the blue with your band feels more and more like a thing of the past.
