Микширование диска делалось в Tonebox studio, в родном городе
музыкантов, Oulu. Kari "Kakke" Vähäkuopus, который занимался
микшированием обоих предыдущих дисков группы, "Salvation by Fire" и
"Feeding the Flames", приглашен для выполенения микса вновь. Общий
стиль - пауэр, местами прилично ускоряющийся. Хороший низкий вокал,
грамотные ударные, жесткий и вместе с тем мелодичный звук и при все при
том альбом получился абсолютно ровным по темпу, а мелодии песен не
особо друг от друга отличаются. При этом альбом хочется слушать и
ставить в виде фона под игры или во время работы. Общее впечатление -
слушать можно, за душу берет, проглядывает концепция альбома, но не
хватает разнообразия.http://www.soundcheck.ru/ Quote BURNING
POINT was founded in the Fall of 1999 in Oulu, Finland. After the
recordings of only one promotional CD, the band managed to get a record
deal with a well-known German based metal label, Limb Music (LMP), who
released the albums "Salvation By Fire" (2001) and "Feeding The Flames"
(2003). Despite massive legal problems which ended up in fights through
lawyers and the loss of their record deal, the band managed to get live
slots on some big festivals such as Tuska Metal Festival and Sweden
Rock. In 2004 the band took a new, fifth member to the band. Jussi
Ontero was chosen to take over the keyboards and the the band went
straight to the studio to record the single "To Hell And Back" which
was released only in Finland and Sweden by Poison Arrow Records.
Between the late 2004 and early 2006, two members of the original
line-up went their own ways. Jukka (guitars) continued his own band NNS
and Jöpe (bass) joined Catamenia. In 2005 BURNING POINT recorded
another promotional CD. It was brought to the attention of Metal Heaven
in Germany and they offered the band a record deal. Spring 2006 the
remaining members, Pete, Jussi & Jari started to record the new
album. In the middle of the sessions they asked one of their long-time
friends, Pekka Kolivuori to step in and fill the 2nd guitarists place.
The line-up was completed by the new bassist, Jukka Jokikokko (who also
did the engineering of the album in the HelGate studios) at the end of
2006. "Burned Down The Enemy" (2007) marked the end of an era but also
the beginning of something new. The band played extensively nationally
after the release of the album, but they also made a quick visit to
Romania's Maximum Rock Festival. In the spring of 2008 BURNING POINT
started the recordings of a new album, "Empyre" at the HelGate studios.
The band's line-up also changed as Jari stepped out of the band to
focus on his other band and Jussi took over the drums. Pasi Hiltula
(ex-Kalmah, ex-Eternal Tears of Sorrow), who also played on the first
two albums, was chosen to be the new keyboardist. Between the recording
sessions the band also did few chosen gigs like supporting ex-Skid Row
vocalist Sebastian Bach. Empyre is without a doubt "back to the roots"
album and you'll definitively hear a strong "80's vibe" on the album.
Naturally the cover songs and the guests, which are inlcuded on the
Limited Edition, just prove the point. Running Wild's "Gods of Iron"
(feat. Majk Moti, ex- Running Wild), The Rod's "Nuclear Skies" (feat.
David "Rock" Feinstein), Q5's "Let Go" (feat. Jonathan K) and a cover
song from one of the biggest artist in Finland, Kirka, "I'll Be Yours"
from Kirka's album R.O.C.K. (1986) features vocals by Taage (Kilpi
& ex-Altaria) and lead guitars by ex-Kirka guitarist Riku Kukkonen.
The new album also marks a big point on what comes to the songwriting.
Four members of the band took part to the writing of the songs on the
album, first time in the band's history! The "top notch" production on
the album is from the band's own hands and the great mastering was done
by Minerva Pappi at the famous Finnvox Studios. The cover artist,
Felipe Machado Franco, is also known from his artwork to bands like
Iced Earth, Blaze Bayley, Axel Rudi Pell etc. The plans for touring in
2009 with Cryonic Temple (SWE) and Tragedian (DE) are already laid and
the dates will be announced soon.
