The album’s lead single, ‚The Heartroot Rots‘, rekindles Koivusaari’s collaboration with Jeff Walker of Carcass, a fitting choice for one of the heaviest tracks on the record.
For years, Koivusaari has been the one of the creative backbones of Amorphis, a band synonymous with innovation in heavy music. Now, with BJØRKØ („Birch Island“ in English), Koivusaari ventures beyond band dynamics to showcase his distinct artistic vision.The album is far from a solo endeavour in the traditional sense. It features an all-star lineup of vocalists in multiple languages, contributing to an atmosphere that’s rich and multi-layered. The talent of Waltteri Väyrynen (Opeth, ex-Paradise Lost), Lauri Porra (Stratovarius), and Janne Lounatvuori (Hidria Spacefolk) adds a rock-solid foundation to Koivusaari’s artistry.
