Description

When you think about music and Finland Im sure that many like myself think about power metal acts like Nightwish, Stratovarious and Sonata Arctica. By judging from the band name and album title-my first thought was that this was a new power metal act from the land of the thousand seas. But after listening to the opening track I realized that I was totally wrong. Human Temple is a new melodic hardrock/AOR sensation from Finland that delivers songs with fantastic melodies ,strong hooklines and lots of lovely keyboards in their sound and reminds sometimes of the best Scandinavian 80s acts. The singer Janne Hurme used to be a solo artist and has achieved sales of 150.000 albums, hes got a very strong voice. Just to add a little extra flavour to the album they invited few guests to be involved on ‘Insomnia’. The names Im talking about are Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish), Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica) and Erkka Korhonen (Urban Tale) with guitar solos to one song each. Altarias metal shouter Taage Laiho provided the backing vocals. If you miss the days when Treat and Talk Of The Town was on the move then get this one. This is a must for everyone that are into 80s melodic hardrock or AOR with class. Track listing: 1. I'm Sorry 2. Goin' All the Way 3. Dream Child 4. Out of Love 5. Desert Rain 6. Animal 7.
