Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

Circus Of Rock is a massive musical project, masterminded by drummer Mirka Rantanen who has a long career in the Finnish scene, including the popular heavy rock band for kids called Hevisaurus. Debut album, Come One, Come All has a killer line-up of guest singers and musicians from the likes of Amaranthe, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Brother Firetribe, Masterplan, Tyketto, Hardline, and others. Mirka Rantanen has a long career in the Finnish hard rock scene. He has played on 30+ albums during his 30 year career, including releases by King Company, Raskasta Joulua, Kotipelto, Warmen, Northern Kings, Revolution Renaissance, and more. A few years ago I started to think about recording a solo album; however, I didn’t want to do just a traditional solo album. That’s because people often think a solo album is mainly to allow the musicians to show off their fantastic skills and magnificent instruments, but I wanted to focus more on the great songs that don’t happen to have extra drum solos. I also wanted to include many fantastic colleagues with whom I have played over the years on this album, and in addition a couple of great guest singers. The album will be a kind of milestone in my professional career, my long-term dream what is finally coming true type of thing, says Rantanen.
