Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado Announces New Album ‘Live At Hotel Cecil’ + pre-order starts

Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado Announce New Album,  ‘Live At Hotel Cecil’

We’re excited to announce the release of our new double live album on June 19th through Provogue/Artone. Pre-orders for the album are now available in various packages and bundles, which you can explore right here!

The show was recorded at their sold-out performances on 28-29 November 2025, one of the band’s final shows on their ‘House of Sticks’ winter tour, and saw the band fully flexing their sophisticated might.

“Hotel Cecil has a certain intimacy,” says Risager. “It’s big enough to have power, but still close enough that you can really feel the faces in front of you. That kind of room invites you to dig deeper — both musically and emotionally. There’s a history in places like that. You can feel that many stories have unfolded there.”

Reflecting on the night, he recalls, “I remember a great sense of anticipation backstage — that quiet buzz before you walk on stage. The room felt warm, very present. The audience was listening — really listening — and then when the groove hit, they were right there with us. That exchange of energy is everything.”

It’s been 10 years since we released our last live album, and finally, there’s a new album in the pipeline for all of you who want to bring home the live concert feeling!

Be aware that it’s a pre-order so the items won’t be shipped until start June.
