A STORM IS COMING

Airbag co-founder, songwriter and lead guitarist, Bjorn Riis will release a new studio album titled A Storm Is Coming on May 3rd, following up last year's acclaimed mini album Coming Home. Six epic songs clocking in at 51 minutes, built around the central themes of human relations and loss, written as a dialogue between two persons. A Storm Is Coming is both heavier and more tender than the previous releases, and Bjorn Riis manages to majestically combine the art of rock, prog and atmospheric pop - resulting in his best album to date. The album was recorded in Subsonic Society in Oslo, mixed by long-time collaborator Vegard Kleftas Sleipnes, and mastered by Jacob Holm-Lupo (White Willow, The Opium Cartel). In addition to a limited Digisleeve CD version, two different vinyl versions will be released: A limited, one-time pressing on marble vinyl with an alternate portrait album cover, and a standard version on black vinyl. Both versions will be 180g vinyl In addition to Bjorn Riis on vocals, guitars and a wide variety of instruments, the album features Henrik Bergan Fossum (Airbag) on drums, Simen Valldal Johannessen (Oak) on keys, Ole Michael Bjorndal on guitar, and Mimmi Tamba on guest vocals
