Bio:

This all started one boring autumn day back in 2001. My friend Timo came to see me, in hope of getting a new ring tone for his phone. Timo had one cartoon melody in his mind, but I just didn't make ring tone out of it, I made whole song and after that I recorded it with my computer. That gave me the idea to start recording my own music with my computer, since I didn't have any active bands that time. I released my first solo-demo as an introduction of my skills and I managed to get two vocalists for my demo. Cd was called "Call of the Twilight". It didn't reach any big success, but I did get some name in internet mp3 sites.After military service, I still didn't have any band and I started to make my second demo, after one friend asked me to do it. This time things were bit different and after some really hard times and lots of disappointments, I managed to get full 5 song Cd ready and I named it "End of Darkness". I was able to get some top-class pro singers this time for the Cd and this time I got little more success. Two good reviews and one interview to a Greece netzine "Behind the Veil". I also hit the TOP40 in mp3.com's power metal-charts one day, in position 40 and songs got total amount of 1010 download/streams in December 2002.

Album:

This band from Tampere, Finland, has been active for almost two decades thanks to its main creator and founder, keyboardist Matti Pulkkinen, he is also a prominent member of a fan club of his fellow countrymen Stratovarius, you can already imagine where the shots go.What began as a personal project for the Finnish keyboardist, recording several demos to make themselves known, ended up seeing the light as a group in 2004 with the album «New Dawn». Since then they have had several line-up changes, except for guitarist Harri Niskanen, inseparable friend of Matti Pulkkinen.Now, recently signed by Rockshots Records, they will put on sale their fourth studio album entitled «Virtuality», once again produced by Matti Pukkinen himself, and which will be available on November 27th.This album is full of five incredible vocalists, along with Tomi Viiltola (ex-Dreamtale, Perpetual Rage, Viilto) and the drummer of the group Matti Auerkallio (Katra, Sangreal, SoulFallen), collaborating with the wonderful Emily Leone (Lost In Gray), Peter James Goodman (Conquest, ex-Virtuocity) and Jukka Nummi (ex-Myon). Without a doubt, this cast is one of the strengths of «Virtuality», where they tell us a unique story about the virtual world and the dangers of sharing everything on social networks, along with highly original and fast-paced power metal songs.Clearly, the influence of Stratovarius could not be absent, as I mentioned earlier, on songs like «Run Like The Wind», where they also remind me of Nightwish for the combination of power metal with great guitar and keyboard melodies along with the soprano voice of Emily Leone and the treble of Tomi Viiltola. «Scream» is a forceful and fast song, with light progressive touches and a variety of voices, even emulating Kotipelto, and «Ghost of Yesterday» is my favorite song, the kind you listen to in a loop and don’t get tired of moving and humming the chorus, hooks you from the beginning, amazing the powerful rhythm of the drums and the sound of the guitar.Influences aside, «Virtuality» is loaded with surprises, for example, a curious thing is that female voice-over that appears in all the songs and that is quoting you coordinates, commands, etc., I don’t know why but it reminds me of some video games old Amiga 500 or Spectrum. The rest of the songs are interesting and diverse to me, like the case of «Vengeance» which is closer to progressive power metal pulling blast beat, it also sounds somewhat symphonic and dark. Another darker and faster track is «Dark Cold Day», in the vein of Virtuocity but with the incentive of having a trio of voices.We should also highlight «The Seer», which is the first single, and where the protagonist is Emily Leone with the keyboard, without forgetting the choruses and that unforgettable guitar picking, and «Digital Tower» which is a classic halftime, epic and melancholic.More surprises come from the hand of «Remorse» and «Mindcaptives», both songs have the inclusion of guttural voices and are the most progressive and epic of the entire album, the first is more direct, although with changes in rhythms, and the second it is more extensive and complex with a duration of more than 11 minutes, alternating slower parts, some acoustic, others faster, more classical of power metal, where the keyboard is extremely important.There is also room for an instrumental such as «Hall of Heroes», a piece of progressive power metal full of virtuosity, and the typical ballad, «(Don’t) Fear The Silence», where the piano and the voice of Emily Leone shudders accompanied by the rest of the vocalists.The album ends with «Together», a symphonic halftime of just over 9 minutes that grows in intensity and speed, with rhythm changes and demonstrating the musical skills of each component.Conclusion, «Virtuality» seems like a great album to me. I consider myself a loyal follower of all the world Power Metal but there is something in Finland that has special attraction, from Stratovarius, Virtuocity, Dreamtale, to Burning Point, so if you like these groups and if we also add epic and progressive touches, this disc you can not escape.
