Jazz Finland Live

Album launch show!

Dark Forest is a concept band, founded by Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson in 2013. Based on his own compositions, Dark Forest invites the listeners on a journey through a dark and mystical forest, full of mutated creatures and their strange yet captivating stories on the new album, Kisima.

Kisima takes a unique and fresh approach to progressive jazz with rock influences. The album's atmospheric and melodic qualities create a playfully fresh sound which draws from heavy riffs, dynamic drum beats and screaming saxophone sounds. On Kisima, Sigurdur is joined by saxophonist Johannes Sarjasto, bassist Eero Tikkanen and drummer Ville Pynssi.
