THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA have primarily spent their existence as drifters, victims of circumstance. Now, the erstwhile classic rock pariahs of NFO have finally found a place to call home. The classic progressive rock-influenced supergroup, featuring Björn Strid (SOILWORK), David Andersson (SOILWORK), Sharlee D'Angelo (ARCH ENEMY, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS), Richard Larsson (VON BENZO), Jonas Källsbäck (MEAN STREAK) and Sebastian Forslund (KADWATHA), have officially signed with Nuclear Blast Records.
Nuclear Blast will release the band's upcoming album, due out next year and recorded at Handsome Hard Studio in Lund, Sweden. The currently untitled upcoming album follows THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA's two previous releases, 2012’s »Internal Affairs« and 2015’s »Skyline Whispers«.

"We have been offered an opportunity; our good friends at Nuclear Blast, the German label famous for spreading the heavy metal gospel, asked us to become a part of their roster. We said yes," the band chimes in a group statement. "We, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, will continue to push the boundaries of classic rock; we will continue with the unnecessarily catchy choruses, the abundant amount of solos, the atmospherics that few people will understand but us, and the female voices that seem to stem from your unconscious." Nuclear Blast CEO Markus Staiger commented: "Classic rock is timeless and brilliantly-executed music. Music which is the foundation of so many other forms of guitar-driven music. With THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, we've found one of the most intense groups in the genre and it's even greater to have our old friend Björn with us. He once again proves to be one of the biggest voices - be it singing extreme metal or classic rock! We're beyond stoked!" THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA are also pleased to announce their new management representation, Breaking Bands LLC, the management team comprised of Adrenaline PR CEO Maria Ferrero, TESTAMENT vocalist and co-manager Chuck Billy, and former MegaForce Records and Crazed Management owners Jon and Marsha Zazula. The Breaking Bands team, also responsible for SOILWORK's representation, endeavours to bring renewed attention and heightened opportunity to THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA. "THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA's music has a true retro feel, harks back the days of yore... classic arena rock, where's my Aquanet? NFO inspires me to take the top down and drive - this is real music for ALL AGES," states co-manager Maria Ferrero. Fellow co-manager Jon Zazula adds, "I like the way they play with a song and take you on a journey of unexpected craftsmanship… I'm really into them. We're very proud to be working with THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA." With all of this representation from primarily metal-focused firms and labels, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA want to be clear - the group will never be a heavy metal band. "But, occasionally, some of us have flirted with that genre," they add. "We are not ashamed of that fact, and will never make any futile attempts to deny it. In fact, the metal genre once stood for all that we appreciate when it comes to music. Defying authorities. Break
