- New studio album by Finland’s melodic power metal veterans! The band’s first all new material release since Nitte joined the group’s ranks. “The Blaze” is a varied album of high quality, delivering European power metal at its best. Vocalist Nitte Valo (who joined Burning Point in 2014) is known to a wide audience by recording and touring with her previous band Battle Beast (a. o. 2012 as special guest on Nightwish’s European tour) [!]
Finnish power metallers BURNING POINT are an active part of the European Metal scene since the late 90’s. Led by mastermind Pete Ahonen, the band has released five studio albums since then, all to critical acclaim. In 2014 former Battle Beast singer Nitte Valo joined the band as new vocalist. After a collection of re-recorded songs mixed with a few new tracks (“Burning Point”), now the first album with all new material is due: Titled “The Blaze”, BURNING POINT deliver another convincing album which concentrates on the band’s strengths solely: European power metal of the melodic kind, spiced with bits of hard rock but also Judas Priest-like nuances makes “The Blaze” a boiling, fiery mixture.
