Who says no to spending time with a corgi? Literally no one. If you’re metal vocalist Björn Strid of Soilwork and The Night Flight Orchestra, you’re lucky enough to live with one.
It was truly an honor to chat with Björn. We discussed both of his projects, corgis, and the passing of The Night Flight Orchestra co-founder David Andersson, as well as its impact on the band. In this episode of Vigorously with Val Kleinhans, Björn reflects.
I couldn’t help but notice that this interview comes almost nine years to the day that I met Björn for the first time.
We met in Chicago in 2016, before a Soilwork show that evening.

The new album Give Us The Moon from The Night Flight Orchestra is out now. Give it a listen!
