Bjørn Riis
Bjørn Riis is one of the founding members, the lead guitarist, producer and main songwriter of the highly successful Norwegian band Airbag. The band’s six critically acclaimed albums has gained Airbag a strong following around the globe.
Together with Airbag and as a solo artist, Bjørn has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the prog genre, including Marillion, Yes, Saga, Marillion and Neil Morse and he’s played at several festivals, including Night of the Prog and Cruise to the Edge.

Bjørn has released five praised and awared solo albums – Lullabies in a Car Crash (2014), Forever Comes to an End (2017), Coming Home (2018), A Storm is Coming (2019), Everything to Everyone (2022) and A Fleeting Glimpse (2022).
On April 11, 2025, Bjørn Riis will release his highly anticipated sixth solo album, Fimbulvinter. Named after the legendary long winter that heralds Ragnarok, a time of both destruction and rebirth. Fimbulvinter is a profound and deeply personal work. Drawing from his own experiences with anxiety, Bjørn explores themes of hopelessness, paranoia, and despair, ultimately finding a spark of hope and gratitude in the darkness. “This isn’t an autobiographical album,” Bjørn explains, “but I wanted to share parts of my own journey and address a subject that I feel is both deeply important and still somewhat taboo.”
Musically, Fimbulvinter reflects Bjørn’s diverse influences, blending the atmospheric and introspective tones of progressiverock with the energy and swagger of the hard rock bands he grew up with in the early ’80s. Fans of Kiss, Black Sabbath,and classic progressive acts will find much to love in the album’s rich soundscapes. From the driving, anthemic energy of“Gone”-a track made for blasting on the open road-to moments of introspection and monumental heaviness, Fimbulvinter is a dynamic journey through darkness and light.
Bjørn Riis once again demonstrates why he is a cornerstone of the progressive rock scene, delivering music that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically captivating.
“I’m a huge fan of Bjørn Riis and “A Storm Is Coming” has just emphasized what a huge musical talent this man is. Six songs of loss, love and human relations that everyone can relate to make this an album that touches you on a personal level and one that is already one of the year’s outstanding releases.”
