“Column Of Fire” is the second single from BLADE’s
debut album which is scheduled to come out in summer 2023. This
powerful Hard Rock song originated from drummer Henrik Hyöppönen’s
composition and riff, and the entire band refined it into its final
format. Pepe
Tamminen has found an idea for lyrics about a
witch-hunt and forbidden love at the end of the 14th century. The
theme fits perfectly with the mood of the song, which varies from
an atmospheric ballad to a punchy chorus - and certainly leaves no
one cold. The main element of the song is a catchy guitar riff that
hits your senses at the very beginning.
The song
was recorded and mixed at Magnusborg
Studios by Marko
Kataja. Mastering was done by Svante Forsbäck,
who is a well-recognized and trusted professional by many hard rock
and heavy metal bands like Rammstein,
Ville Valo,
Sonata
Arctica, Sunrise Avenue, Michael Monroe, etc.
BLADE is a
new Finnish hard rock band that differentiates from mainstream
artists by its uniquely cheery and explosive sound.
The
members of the band have been touring together as a cover band
since 2016, playing well-known rock classics from Led Zeppelin
to Guns and
Roses for the ever-hard-rock-hungry Finnish
audience. The idea of BLADE’s own material started to form in 2021,
as all the band members dusted off the material they had collected
in their drawers, cumulating ideas for songs on the new album. Even
the most dedicated hard rock fan’s expectations will be met with
this charged rock album.
The
members of the band live between Helsinki, the capital city of
Finland, and Lahti, where the band also practices together, drawing
raw power from the beautiful and brutal nature surrounding the
city.
Line-up:
Pepe Tamminen (singer), Pekka Viljanen (guitar), Jaakko Paljakka
(guitar), Janne Viljakainen (bass and keyboard), and Henrik
Hyöppönen (drums)
