A symphony orchestra. Composers from the world of metal. A wild conductor. A truly unique soloist. Attitude and talent. This is: BRIGHT & BLACK

Bright & Black will return to the stage in May 2025, bringing their groundbreaking orchestral performance to some of Europe’s most stunning venues and concert houses.

Bright & Black have been pushing the boundaries of metal and classical music with their debut, “The Album”, and a hugely successful first tour in 2024, which saw sold out shows in Tallinn, Stockholm, Berlin and Hong Kong. With these next year’s shows, Bright & Black will give audiences in twelve countries the chance to witness their unique performance.

Both the album and live shows received rave reviews, with critics hailing “the exciting musical territory to be explored through such creative partnerships, that dissolve the perceived boundaries between different types of music” (Louder Than War), with Metal Hammer (UK) exclaiming “Bright & Black’s orchestral debut is the first serious contender for the best metal album of 2024”.

Featuring original compositions by legendary Nordic metal artists (from Apocalyptica, Meshuggah, Opeth, Watain and Entombed AD), the pieces are brought to life by Nordic Pulse Orchestra, with Eicca Toppinen (Apocalyptica) as soloist and Kristjan Järvi conducting.

Eicca Toppinen comments:

”With Bright & Black we were able to create something that was totally new and exciting. It was such a unique experience and I can’t wait to bring it live again and share it with new people!”
