TERÄSBETONI - Metallitotuus (2005)

[SickBoy]

Anybody listened to this Finnish band?
The music is pure Manowar, epic and pounding, the vocalist is very mighty sounding, as opposed to numerous "power" vocalists...
The only thing that may bother you is that they actually sing in Finnish.
Their name supposedly means something like "armed concrete", so it should suggest something powerful, and by God - it is!

Theyre huge here, it was impossible to avoid their hit song "Taivas Lyö Tulta" last summer. I've heard the album a couple of times and it has a couple of gems (the aforementioned single and Teräksen varjo and some others) it kind of feels rushed. You know, about a year ago they were mostly known in finnish metal BB:s but then they got a record deal and here we are today. I think they even played Wacken this year!?

They get a lot of shit from "old school" metalheads who bitch about them cashing off on Manowar's merits. But I think they're just a genuinely fun band, more like a tribute than a ripoff.

And don't worry about the lyrics, you're not missing any philosophical breakthroughs.

I don't mind they sing in Finnish may be even interesting. I dislike Manowar by I like epic bands like Majesty and Cryonic Temple so it worth to check them out. Any link to do so?

Thanks for the link.

I found the music nice but the vocals tend to be exagerated and frankly that diminish the quality of the songs.

May worth to be checked throughly tho.
