Vinyl FIMBULVINTER

Description

'Fimbulvinter' is the latest album by Bjørn Riis, renowned guitarist of the band Airbag, released on June 6, 2025. This deeply personal work draws from Riis's experiences with anxiety, exploring themes of hopelessness, paranoia, and despair, while ultimately finding a spark of hope and gratitude in the darkness. Musically, 'Fimbulvinter' blends the atmospheric and introspective tones of progressive rock with the energy and swagger of 1980s hard rock bands like Kiss and Black Sabbath. Fans of classic progressive rock will appreciate the album's rich soundscapes, from the driving, anthemic energy of 'Gone' to moments of introspection and monumental heaviness. Riis performs all instruments and vocals on the album, collaborating with talented musicians such as Henrik Bergan Fossum (Airbag), Arild Brøter (Pymlico), and Kai Christoffersen on drums. 'Fimbulvinter' is a dynamic journey through darkness and light, reaffirming Riis's position in the progressive rock scene.
