Composers from the world of metal. A wild conductor. A truly unique soloist. Attitude and talent. An album and a live show. This is Bright & Black featuring Eicca Toppinen, Kristjan Jarvi and Baltic Sea Philharmonic.

Metal music and orchestral music, two worlds existing in parallel, fnally 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 in the metal scene compose directly for the orchestra giving them a completely new set of colors to create a new set of sounds. With a bang. The compositions performed by Baltic Sea Philharmonic conducted by Kristjan Jarvi with solist Eicca Toppinen are written by Eicca Toppinen (Apocalyptica), Fredrik Åkesson (Opeth), Erik Danielsson (Watain), Nico Elgstrand (Entombed AD), Tomas Haake/Dick Lovgren (Meshuggah), Jacob Hellner and Kristjan Jarvi. The full scale Dolby Atmos album production of the project was recorded in the fall 2022 at the Estonian National Radio studio in Tallinn.
