Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumAirbag returns with a new album called ’The Greatest Show on Earth’, their third on Karisma Records. After the two highly acclaimed albums, ‘Identity’ (2009) and ‘All Rights Removed’ (2011), ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is of course a much-anticipated album. Airbag are continuing their journey through atmospheric soundscapes and serious topics, creating cinematic pictures and bringing out emotions, pulling the listener into their world. They’re still giving us the Airbag sound, and this time the album is a bit rougher and with some heavier parts. ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is a great step forward for Airbag, and ads new elements to the delightful Airbag universe.
Bjørn Riis (guitars), Asle Tostrup (vocals), Henrik Fossum (drums), Jørgen Grüner-Hagen (keyboards) and Anders Fossum Hovdan (bass), together with engineer and co-producer Vegard Sleipnes, have with ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ managed to raise the music of Airbag to the next level and even brought more characteristics to their sound. It has taken about 18 months to finish this record, but quality and musical craftsmanship are the essence in this production. Airbag is back and are absolutely a force to be reckoned with within the international music scene…
‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ is yet a modern masterpiece for fans of late Pink Floyd, Blackfield, Talk Talk, A-Ha, Porcupine Tree and Anathema.

Everything to Everyone
by Bjorn Riissupported by 71 fans who also own “The Greatest Show on Earth”
Lead guitarist for Neo-Prog band, Airbag, has released this solo recording, and as expected, there is plenty of guitar goodness all through it. He brings in other musicians to fill out the band, as well as being joined at times by a female vocalist. The lyrics are thoughtful and often mournful, with a wealth of dynamic tension and release, musically. It becomes more striking with each listen, as, deceptively, there is much to ponder here.
