Hi, Finnish Merging Flare had the priviledge of supporting Seventh Wonder last November at Helvation Festival in Finland. Now it is (finally) time to publish their debut album. The press release:
--
MERGING FLARE: Reverence out 11.5.2011
The finest piece of Finnish melodic heavy metal in ages!
Disentertainment will release Reverence, the debut album of the Finnish
band Merging Flare. The album will hit the stores on May 11th 2011. Before
this the group has released one split single and two demos. Merging
Flare has also performed some highlighted gigs in Finland playing at
festivals and with such acts as Blaze Bayley, Enforcer, Nightingale
and Seventh Wonder.
The music of Merging Flare represents the highest level of
musicianship packed in a melodic heavy metal style that combines
influences from bands like Accept, Judas Priest and Helloween with
massive Queen-esque choirs and spices from the 80′s game music genre.
Reverence will also feature a special guest appereance by Kai Hansen
(Gamma Ray, ex- Helloween), the German power metal godfather, on four
tracks of the album.
Reverence was recorded and mixed at Content Union Studio by Eero
Kaukomies and mastered at Unisound Studio by legendary Dan Swanö.
The band promises that the production on this album is crisp and a vital
nod to the old school, summoning the spirit of 80′s metal back to
life.
The album consists of 11 songs:
1. At Daggers Drawn
2. Faker
3. Carved in Stone
4. Terrordome
5. In the Line of Fire
6. Steel Redeemer
7. Pride and Bravery
8. Killing Ground
9. Under the Fire
10. Star Odyssey
11. Sign of the Crimson Storm (Riot Cover)
Members of the band have previously shared their talent for example in
the following bands: Amberian Dawn, Heavy Metal Perse, Domination
Black, Elenium and also in different tribute bands (Judas Priest,
Gamma Ray, Running Wild). Kasperi Heikkinen, the lead guitar player of
Merging Flare, has also played several shows with Gamma Ray,
substituting Henjo Richter.
The first appetizers have been published in MySpace and
at the website of the record label. Reverence can now be
preordered at Levykauppa Äx.
