Europower

Upon looking at a photo of this quintet, I thought “Italians”?! But a couple of faces didn’t really look all that Mediterranean… the singer also reminded me slightly of the guy from Red Aim (who would later transform into the mega successful Powerwolf) but I was quite certain it wasn’t him. At any rate, I opened the included literature and added the album on my playlist to find out they’re Finns and well they’re not a million miles away from the wolven style, albeit a bit more melodic and without as many hallelujahs (if any!) – hehe….
 

Tommy Vitaly, is a not that well known guitarist, that in the past has released a couple of albums with the band Seven Gates, a couple of more through an eponymous band and including “hanging rock”, two solo albums.
 
I’d be a liar, if I said, that I was completely aware of his past. If I remember correctly, I may have listened to one of the two SG albums, but I can't say that I was absolutely thrilled.
