WHat
Metal music and orchestral music, two worlds living in parallel, finally clash and a sound not yet heard is born. In an unprecedented move, the world of metal will fuse with the world of the orchestra by having writers all rooted the metal scene compose directly for the orchestra giving them a completely new set of colors and a new set of sounds. With a bang.
Composers and contributors to Bright & Black are:
Eicca Toppinen (Apocalyptica),
Fredrik Åkesson (Opeth), Erik Danielsson (Watain), Nico Elgstrand (Entombed AD),
Tomas Haake/Dick Lövgren (Meshuggah), Jacob Hellner and Kristjan Järvi.
Why
Below the surface
Behind the wall
Inside the circle
Sleeps the call
A simple voice
A need to cry
Without a choice
It has to fly
And like every child
Of flesh and blood
We make our sound
From dust and mud
Cause what you give
Will come back
Loud and clear
Bright and Black
