Free Music Notes for False Metal
Free Music Review: The 80's are back!
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't believe that no-one else has reviewed this album! For me this is one of the best albums of 2006. Had it not been for Iron Maiden's album A Matter Of Life And Death, Brother Firetribe's False Metal would have been THE album of 2006 in my opinion (in fact this is the album I play more than any other and it will be for many years to come). However, don't think that this album sounds anything like Iron Maiden, in fact it is far from it.
Having gone through high school and college in the 80's listening to the classic hard rock, NWOBHM and hair metal of that era this album was a breath of fresh air to me. No-one plays this kind of music any more, but thankfully Brother Firetribe has successfully produced an album of ten top quality songs that any band of the 80's would have been proud to have written.
To give you an idea what this album sounds like, think 80's American arena rock - Van Halen from the 1984, 5150, OU812 era, with a touch of Kiss, Bon Jovi and even a hint of Foreigner. This album reeks energy, good time rock and roll, and lots of fun. The keyboards are right at the forefront of the songs (in fact they dominate), but the guitar playing is also top notch. The vocals are excellent and easily heard and understood, with hooks and harmonies it is easy to sing along with. In fact, I guarantee you will not be able to help yourself, you WILL sing along with it!
The whole album has an uplifting feel good vibe to it, and every song is just so catchy! Radio will probably ignore this album as it does not fit in with current popular trends, however it is extremely radio friendly and would have dominated the airwaves had it been released in 1986.
Even though I've stated that the music has 80's sound all over it, don't let this 80's talk make you think "cheese" because it's an album of class and remarkable freshness.
False Metal is the perfect summertime album, for playing in the car, at parties or b-b-q's, or just cranking out at top volume any where, anytime. There is no doubt this album will be appeal to may people, which is why it is quite surprising to me that there are no other reviews of it.
It's hard to believe that these guys are from Finland because the music just sounds so American. Emppu Vuorinen does a great job blending his guitar with the keyboards and adding solo's here and there. This music sounds nothing at all like his regular band Nightwish.
Pekka Ansio Heino is fantastic on vocals. He has a clarity that is refreshing, and whilst he does seem to be pushing to the extremes of his ability in a couple of parts on the album, I think it's a credit to him that he is willing to do this and the songs do not suffer at all from it.
(I also recommend the album Tides by the Band Leverage for which he is also the vocalist.)
I don't know much about Tomppa Nikulainen (keyboards) or Jason Flinck (bass) but they also must get some credit for this great album, with the keyboards in particular sounding brilliant.
Strangely there is no credit for drums on this album or any mention of drum programming. However Kalle "Hi-Hatter" Torniainen is given credit as "additional musician" so it seems that he was probably the drummer, but there is no photo of him (or is it her? I don't know about Finnish names!!).
I love the whole album so it's hard to pick out the best songs, but here goes:
Breakout, Valerie, I'm On Fire, Love Goes Down, Midnite Queen, One Single Breath, Lover Tonite. (Well that's 7/10, what can I say?)
There is nothing bad or negative about this album at all, it's all good.
I wish there was more music around like this now. I have not purchased an album that I have enjoyed this much in many, many years, and I hope these guys make another.
False Metal Poster
Evoking mental imagery of bathing in the sun on a Venice Beach walkway, complete with rollerskating long-legged beauties and trimmed pink poodles, Brother Firetribe's smooth hard rock has that huge American AOR sound no one in Finland has ever even ventured to attempt. Unashamedly taking a bow to their influences, Van Halen, Journey and other chartbusters of old, Brother Firetribe's sound is built on a plethora of melodies most composers wouldn't dare to dream of. In a true eighties' fashion, all the required tools are also applied; killer vocal harmonies and airy keyboard lines that will stick to your head like a misplaced bubble gum. The cherries on the pie are Pekka Heino's smooth, dreamy vocals and Emppu Vuorinen's guitarwork. Also being the guitarist of famed Finnish metal group Nightwish, Emppu's immaculate sense of style and the rich trademark sound of his guitar simply can't be mistaken.Pop Music CDs
