The band’s sound is honest, direct, and layered with cultural influences that bridge Nordic and American traditions.
From the first strum of the guitar, there’s a sense of timelessness, as if you’ve been transported to a misty forest somewhere in Finland, where the chill of the northern wind mingles with the warmth of rootsy Americana.
The track feels like a breeze that gently brushes against your skin, evoking nostalgia and introspection. It’s the kind of music that makes you think of finding an old, faded Polaroid in a drawer—an unexpected moment of reflection on a past long gone.
There’s a subtle melancholy that flows through the song, but it’s not without comfort. The band manages to balance these emotions, creating something as comforting as it is introspective.
The accompanying music video enhances the experience, featuring Pekko Manzin, who appears as a wanderer waiting for his next train, hinting at an endless journey that may never truly find resolution.
Production-wise, the track is masterfully done, with its folk-rock vibe remaining intriguing without overcomplicating the arrangement. “Memory Come Alive” is a rich, evocative song that’s hard to forget.

What do you get if you combine the Finnish folk tale of The Apparition of Black Castle with the caressing winds of The American Appalachian mountains? Black River Ghost of course.
It was a fateful night in Helsinki, Finland. Singer/guitarist Pekko Manzin, bassist Bryan Ugartechea and drummer Sirpa Immonen from Daggerplay walked into a party intent on causing mayhem. They found some acoustic instruments and started jamming on songs Pekko had written that didn’t suit Daggerplay. It was clear from the get-go they were on to something special.
They got together with Perttu Kesäniemi (violin), Juhis Grönlund (mandolin) and Rudy Laakso (percussion) and with an arcane sleight of hand Black River Ghost was born.
