Interview by Kris PetersThe seventh studio album for Night Flight Orchestra was always going to be difficult given the passing of original member David Andersson between releases.Music is an emotional form of expression naturally, but when having to negotiate loss and sorrow, any new music could quite easily be skewered too far in that direction and become almost self-indulgent.Not that that is a bad thing, but talking with frontman Bjorn Strid you get the feeling that he and the rest of NFO wanted to pay honour and respect to David's legacy and music by capturing themselves at optimal strength and unity on both a sonic and personal plane.The resulting body of work, Give Us The Moon - which is released on Friday, January 31 - takes the listener on an exciting sonic journey, balancing between uplifting escapism and captivating stories inspired by real life events. The album's themes span the likes of heroines and temptresses to liberation and romantic nostalgia, set to backdrops of abandoned cities and cosmic tides.The album is free from the limitations of one genre or style, although many of the soundscapes of the album draw inspiration from the 80s, making the album a varied, exciting adventure. Give Us The Moon is produced by THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA and Sebastian Forslund, who also mixed the album, and is mastered by Plec Johansson at award-winning The Panic Room Studios. To celebrate the release of the new full-length, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA will embark on a full European tour in late January, 2025. Boarding is completed - fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the flight!HEAVY sat down recently with Strid to discuss the new album and delve into its cinematic nature."It's a real special album," he began. "It's the first one without David Andersson, who sadly passed away two years ago, and it's been a special journey putting this album together. We wanted to create something really uplifting and empowering, and make it even more cinematic and dreamy than before. But the general guiding star was to make something really positive… but still multi-layered. What we have here is an explosion of emotions running through the album. It's very diverse, but it all sits together in the end. You just need to listen to the album to really get into it and get what we're saying. It's gonna be a beautiful ride."In the full interview we ask Bjorn if he still gets the same rush as an album release approaches or if that fades over time, he explains the terms cinematic and soundscape and how they relate to NFO's music, the musical direction of the album, bettering yourself musically, the early days of Night Flight Orchestra and where they fit in, the musical expansion of the band over each album, upcoming shows and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersWhen members of Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Mean Streak ventured outside of their comfort zone ten years ago and created The Night Flight Orchestra the seeds of something special were instantly sewn.By defying the "supergroup" handbook at the time, Björn Strid, David Andersson, Sharlee D'Angelo and Jonas Källsbäckbroke broke away completely from the sounds of their original bands and ushered in a new (albeit harking back to days of old) era of music that bears little if no resemblance to the style of music for which the respective members were known.Instead they created an 80s party band with the sole objective of making people dance.Despite the tongue in cheek nature of their music, The Night Flight Orchestra went about their business with a serious and level head, paying homage to a decade of musical fads and trends without actually mocking it.Which was a fine line to tread, but one which was carefully navigated with due caution and respect.Spawning hits like Domino, Lovers In The Rain, West Ruth Ave, Divinyls and This Time, TNFO have pushed the proverbial envelope in as many directions as it would turn, pumping out everything from hard rock to pop to disco infused ditties and love drenched ballads and everything in between.Despite the global success afforded each of their five albums, TNFO have somehow managed to steer clear of Australian shores for the duration of their existence, a blight on their social calendar that is soon to be rectified when the unruly gang of cavalirs touches down for three exclusive shows starting in Brisbane on August 3.Frontman Bjorn Strid cleared his schedule to explain the bands absence and what they plan to do to make it up to us."It's gonna be a hell of a dance party," he promised. "So go get your tickets now!"With the first show under one week away, we ask Strid if he has finished packing in preperation yet."I guess so, yeah," he laughed. "It feels like it was only a matter of weeks ago that we hit Australia with Soilwork but it was in November last year. Regardless, it's gonna be something completely different. I'm really grateful that we're able to come to Australia with The Night Flight Orchestra. We feel like the fan base has grown a lot in Australia so I had to poke Doug from Hardline Media to get us over there. We're definitely ready. We have a beautiful set list coming up for these three shows. It's going to be special."Not ones to take these things lying down, HEAVY presses Strip on why TNFO have neglected Australian fans for so long."Good question," he laughed. "We wanted to come in all those years so many times but it's... it had to grow a little bit but we've definitely felt that the last couple of years that a lot of people come up to you when you're in Australia with Soilwork and say 'hey when is Night Flight coming to Australia and bringing vinyls to the signing sessions so we noticed it's been growing a lot and now is definitely the time. I wish we did it five years ago, but at the same time it was worth waiting for I think."In the full interview Bjorn tells us what to expect from the shows, explains what Death To False A.O.R Australian Tour means, supporting KISS on their last ever Swedish shows, takes us back to the start of the band and where they fit in, his love affair with 80s music and where it comes from, continuing the saga laid out in Aeromantic and Aeromantic 2 and more.
For those of you who don't know David passed away very recently. This interview first appeared on episode six of Talking Bollocks. I went to interview Bobby from Overkill and Soilwork were playing this show with them as well so I jumped at the chance to chat to Bjorn & David. They were on the back of The Living Infinite which had blown me away and I was excited to talk them about it.

I am a singer, producer, songwriter, musician and vocal coach. My journey began at the age of 8 with the guitar, then continued with the piano and at the age of 14 I began my singing studies. So I have dedicated my entire life to music. Over the years I have gained many experiences of all kinds, from musicals and tours in theaters (company Fabula Musicae), to numerous live situations in Italy and abroad. Among the most significant shows of my career, I must undoubtedly mention the performance with Jennifer Batten (former Michael Jackson guitarist), the South American tour with Blaze Bayley (former Iron Maiden singer), show in Riga (Latvia) with Sabaton, show in St. Petersburg with Lacuna Coil, a tour piece with Arch Enemy in Russia, a tour piece with At the Gates in Russia, participation in the MetalDays 2019 Festival on the main stage. In the studio I worked on independent productions and collaborated several times with the dysFUNCTION team (producers and collaborators of Fear Factory, Logan Mader, Dan Korneff, Tue Madsen, Bjorn Strid, John Wetton etc). Like JaKe X, in September 2019 I released the first single A SHIP SAILING NOWHERE. Subsequently, in December 2019 the second single MADE OF DREAMS was released, for which I managed entirely music, lyrics, composition, arrangements and production. In April 2020 the third single CIVILIZATION is released, featuring and co-produced with the American artist PoetED. In September the fourth single Till You Find Your Heart is released, accompanied by the first video clip. www.Jakexmusic.com
