The Night Flight Orchestra is a Swedish classic rock/AOR band from Helsingborg. They are signed to Nuclear Blast Records. Formed in 2007 by Björn Strid and David Andersson while they were touring in the USA with their band Soilwork, they were later joined by bassist Sharlee D'Angelo (Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars, ex-King Diamond), Richard Larsson (Von Benzo), Jonas Källsbäck (Mean Streak) and, more recently, Sebastian Forslund (Kadwatha). After releasing Internal Affairs in 2012 and Skyline Whispers in 2015, The Night Flight Orchestra entered Handsome Hard Studio in Spring 2016 to record their third album, Amber Galactic. It was released through Nuclear Blast Records in May 2017.
Less than one week after the release of Amber Galactic, singer Björn Strid stated in an interview that The Night Flight Orchestra were likely to start recording their fourth album a couple months later, during Summer 2017, to be released in Spring 2018.
The Night Flight Orchestra started when Björn Strid (Soilwork) and David Andersson (Soilwork, Mean Streak) were on the road together in North America in 2007. Björn and David were bonding over what they considered "classic" or not, from rock n roll conspiracies to being arrested in a lobby with nothing but leather pants on. All those scenarios, fictional or real, needed a soundtrack. It didn't take long before bass player Sharlee D'Angelo (Arch Enemy, Spiritual Beggars) joined forces as well as keyboard player Richard Larsson (Von Benzo) and drummer Jonas Källsbäck (Mean Streak). Their goal was to reclaim the 70's/early 80's sense for classic melody.
