You can expect a HUGE release that is bound some send tremors throughout the metal world early 2011!"

Spinefarm meets THE STORM!
Spinefarm Records has signed Danish act The Storm!
”Black Luck” is the second album for the Storm and it will be released on October 27th.
Since the band was found 2006 it has been one of the most successful and renowned bands in Denmark among the media and music fans. The Storm consists of e charismatic vocalist Pernille Rosendahl (ex-Swan Lee) and Johan Wohlert (ex-Mew)
Their debut album ”Where the Storm Meets the Ground” has sold platinum in Denmark. The album was produced by Roy Thomas Baker who is well known from his work with artists like Queen, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crüe and Guns N’Roses.
The new ”Black Luck” album was produced by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Hatesphere) and Volbeat-vocalist Michael Poulsen is also featured on the album as a co-vocalist. In return Pernilla has been a guest vocalist on Volbeat's ”Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood”-album.
*************************************************
Spinefarm Records on kiinnittänyt tanskalaisen The Stormin! The Stormin kakkosalbumi ”Black Luck” julkaistaan Suomessa lokakuussa.
Perustamisestaan, vuodesta 2006, lähtien The Storm on ollut yksi Tanskan menestyneimmistä ja suosituimmista kotimaisista poprock-yhtyeistä ja bändi nauttii suurta suosiota niin fanien kuin kriitikoidenkin keskuudessa. The Stormin muodostavat karismaattinen solisti Pernille Rosendahl (ex-Swan Lee) ja Johan Wohlert (ex-Mew).
The Stormin debyyttilevy ”Where The Storm Meets The Ground” on myynyt Tanskassa platinaa! Albumin tuottajana toimi Roy Thomas Baker joka tunnetaan töistään mm. Queenin, Ozzy Osbournen ja Guns’N’Rosesin kanssa.
Uuden ”Black Luck” -albumin tuotti Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Hatesphere) ja sillä vierailee bändin maanmies, Volbeat-yhtyeen Michael Poulsen. Vastaavasti Pernilla vieraili Volbeatin ”Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood”-menestyslevyllä.
Albumin ensimmäinen sinkku ”Are Your Shoes Too Tight?” toimitetaan radioille elokuussa.

Spinefarm signs AMBERIAN DAWN!
Spinefarm Records has signed Finnish metal act Amberian Dawn! Their third album ”End Of Eden” will be released on October 20th.
Led by songwriter Tuomas Seppälä, in 2008 the band released their debut album ”River Of Tuoni”, which was followed up with ”The Clouds Of Northern Thunder” in 2009.
Amberian Dawn have done 2 European tours with Epica and a new tour is in the plans after the album's release.
Band is no stranger to radio play either - Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson praised the band's music after they had toured the UK and gave AD lots of air time on his show on BBC6 during the release of The Clouds Of Northern Thunder.
Music of Amberian Dawn is bombastic and melodic, singer Heidi Parviainen has been gifted with a magnificent voice that makes Amberain Dawn stand out from the ever growing crowd of operatic metal. Heidi is also responsible for the lyrics which are based on Finnish mythology.
Tuomas describes this new album to be heavier than its predecessors with a bigger, more polymorphic sound.
Keyboard wizard Jens Johansson (famed for his work with for example Stratovarius and Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force) guest stars on the album.
**********************************************
Spinefarm Records on kiinnittänyt suomalaisen metallibändi Amberian Dawnin! Bändin kolmas albumi ”End Of Eden” julkaistaan lokakuussa.
Amberian Dawnin debyyttialbumi ”River Of Tuoni” julkaistiin vuonna 2008 ja se nousi Suomen viralliselle albumilistalle. Kakkosalbumi ”The Clouds Of Northern Thunder” julkaistiin seuraavana vuonna.
Amberian Dawnin musiikki on mahtipontista ja melodista metallia, ja sen kruunaa upeaääninen solisti Heidi Parviainen! Heidi vastaa myös albumin mytologiasta ammentavista sanoituksista. Biisintekijä ja bändin nokkamies Tuomas Seppälä kuvailee uutta levyä aiempaa raskaammaksi ja massiivisemmaksi, mutta samalla myös entistä monimuotoisemmaksi. Albumilla vierailee Stratovariuksen Jens Johansson.
Bändi on tehnyt kaksi Euroopan kiertuetta Epican kanssa ja suunnitelmissa on uuden albumin myötä lähteä kiertämään Eurooppaa jälleen kerran.
Radiosoittoa Amberian Dawn on saanut kotimaisten kanavien lisäksi myös ulkomailla; bändiä on hehkuttanut mm. Bruce Dickinson omassa radio-ohjelmassaan BBC6:lla!

Entwine: Rough N' Stripped out now!
After six full-lenght albums, Entwine has now released a 2CD compilation, containing all the heartbreaking Entwine killers, two brand new tracks as well as acoustic and remixed versions from the lighter and brighter side of these gloomsters.
Metsatöll's new album sells over 13 000 copies
"Äio", the fourth full-length album by the Estonian giants of folk metal Metsatöll, has sold over 13 000 copies in three months. The album, sung in Estonian, is available in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands and other bigger markets, and up until today, already 7 000 copies have been sold in foreign markets. Local fans in Estonia have bought 6 000 regular or limited versions of "Äio". Also included in the results are the digital sales of both the full album as well as separate tracks. "Äio" was released by the world's leading music company Universal Music's sister label, the metal-oriented Spinefarm Records.
Metsatöll's vocalist Markus Teeäär is very pleased with the album sales: "We are positively surprised at the sales figures, and also more convinced than before that Estonian audiences care about us as much as we care about them. The results from abroad, though, came as a true bombshell. It has to be said that were it not for the undaunted and hard work of Universal, we would not be seeing these figures now."
"As a record label, we are convinced that this is only the beginning of Metsatöll's success story, since for most of the world they are a new and totally fresh phenomenon. This year's plans for the band include a number of performances at several massive metal festivals of the world, as well as a couple of European tours," assured Leen Kadakas, label manager for Universal Music Baltic.
Come mosh with Metsatöll!
One of the most important gigs for Metsatöll this year is the performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany, taking place in August 5. - 7. W:O:A is the biggest festival for metal music in the world. Having started out in 1990 as an event with a couple of hundred of participants, it has by now grown into a massive festival with 70.80 bands, visited by more than 70 000 people.
The list of performers this year contains a plethora of truly great acts such as Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Alice Cooper and Slayer. Metsatöll will perform on August 7th, the last day of the festival, at 5.45 pm.
Artists as well as audiences have frequently dubbed Wacken Open Air the best-organized metal-fest in the world.
There are still seats available for the Metsatöll fan-trip from Estonia to Wacken, organized by none other than Metal Travel Agency. Fans can purchase a comfortable package to the 40-person bus trip, and mosh together with the band in Germany.
"Those who wish to travel with us to Wacken, Germany, can join the trip despite the fact that the festival is sold out. Metal Travel Agency offers a package that includes the travel, a festival pass and a night in Poland on the return trip," comments Metsatöll˙s drummer Marko Atso.

CELESTY ylpeänä tiedottaa: Tony Turunen uudeksi laulajaksi
Seinäjokelaisen voimametalliyhtye Celestyn uusi laulaja on vantaalainen Tony Turunen.
"Fiilis on aivan mahtava!", kertoo tuore laulajavalinta. "Koen tehtävän hyvällä tavalla haasteellisena ja mielenkiintoisena. Odotan yhtyeen tulevaisuudelta paljon, kaikella saralla."
Uudeksi laulajaksi pyrki kymmeniä ehdokkaita. Yhtyeen mukaan valinta oli kuitenkin helppo ja yksimielinen. "Tony ei ole ainoastaan kova laulaja, vaan myös hyvä tyyppi ja rehellisesti kiinnostunut bändistä.", rumpali Jere Luokkamäki summaa.
Yksimielisestä päätöksestä huolimatta joulukuussa alkanut laulajan haku ja koeajo jännitti helmikuussa pestin saanutta Tonya loppuun saakka.
"Ystäväni mainitsi loppuvuodesta Celestyn hakevan laulajaa. Etenkin uusin levy Vendetta oli pyörinyt levylautasellani reilusti, joten otin bändiin yhteyttä.", taustoittaa Tony. "Toivoin tietysti hakemukseni päätyvän muuallekin kuin vain paperisilppuriin. Yllätyksekseni sain pian kutsun studioon, jossa äänitimme demolaulut kolmeen biisiin.
Melko pitkältä tuntuvan ajanjakson jälkeen sain tiedon, että olen tullut valituksi Celestyn uudeksi vokalistiksi.", mies paljastaa.
"Tunnelmat ovat todella positiiviset ja ideoita bändiin liittyen ropisee jatkuvasti. Pyrin kaivamaan itsestäni kaiken luovuuden bändin aikaisempiin ja tuleviin biiseihin, sekä livenä että studiossa.
Odotukset ovat erittäin korkealla!", kertoo maaliskuussa ensiesiintymisensä yhtyeen riveissä tekevä Tony.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH won ‘Best New Band’ Golden God at Metal Hammer Awards
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH were declared ‘Best New Band’ at this year’s Metal Hammer Awards ceremony at the O2 Arena in London on June 15th. Voted for by readers of the magazine, the award was presented by Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas and Dez Fafara of Devildriver fame.
Commented Milas, “This award goes out to a band that has emerged in the past 12 months, and kicked all of our asses!”.
“They pulled one of the most insane crowds of the weekend at Download and they’ve been the band that you’ve given the most love to over the course of the past 12 months.”.
Other nominees in the category included Black Tide, Sylosis, Malefice, Trigger The Bloodshed and Alestorm.
Five Finger Death Punch recently announced that the title of their second studio album would be "War Is The Answer". Co-produced by Kevin Churko and currently being mixed by Randy Staub, the eleven track outing is scheduled for a September ’09 release via Spinefarm Records.
Mojo & Clash magazine of Murmansk: "Finland is in good hands"
http://www.clashmusic.com/live-review/spot-festival-the-clash-review
"Time for a quick sprint back to the site for the similarly intense Murmansk, a Finnish outfit with a shoegazing bent. The few punters who’ve left the sun to head inside are well rewarded by a raucous guitar attack and a tiny but powerful front woman in Laura Soininen: the girl’s a star."
http://www.mojo4music.com/blog/2009/06/denmark_full_points.html
Mojo: "A change in mood comes with two Finnish bands: Murmansk and Joensuu 1685. Murmansk mix the attack of Death Valley 69 Sonic Youth with My Bloody Valentine and top it with Julie Driscoll vocals. The all-out assault of Joensuu 1685 draws from Recurring-era Spacemen 3 and La Düsseldorf to wig-lifting effect. Finland is in good hands."
