After the profound and epic journey of their acclaimed pandemic-era masterpiece 'Red Alert in the Blue Forest,' Finland's celebrated Von Hertzen Brothers return with their ninth studio album,
'In Murmuration.'
In true Von Hertzen Brothers style, this album creatively juxtaposes their previous release. Whilst their imaginative multi-genre hard rock and harmonies remain, the band's artistic pendulum has swung more towards an air of optimism and renewal. The result is a work filled with stadium rock anthems, 90s influenced art-rock and catchy power-pop.
The band formed in 2000 and quickly rose to prominence as one of Finland's most important and influential rock acts. The three brothers Mikko, Kie and Jonne with drummer Sami Kuoppamaki are joined by multi-instrumentalist Markus Pajakkala who performed with the brothers on their acoustic tour in 2023. Notable for his guest saxophone on 2022's 'Peace Patrol,' Markus brings a new dynamic to the album. Guests on the album include a gospel choir and strings by the Budapest Art Orchestra.
Renowned for seamlessly blending complex arrangements and uplifting melodies, Von Hertzen Brothers have not only conquered their homeland but have made a significant impact on the European and global music scenes. The band have forged their own path as a powerful touring band and have performed in 22 countries. Their latest tour in Finland was a sell-out and festival slots in Europe including the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, and Germany have followed. In 2025, the band will venture further afield as plans include the USA's infamous progressive rock themed 'Cruise to the Edge'.
