Frontiers Records is excited to present the world the talents of LAND OF TALES, a brand new Melodic Rock quartet hailing from Finland, going to release its self titled debut album on July 4th 2008 !
Land of Tales is a brand new band masterminded by two guys, Kristian (vocals and guitar) and Palle (keyboards), who started doing music together since the tender age of six and seven. They have been playing together for fifteen years in a band called Naiskala. However all the time, there was a constant urge to make more adult oriented rock music, sung in English.
Kristian finally started writing songs in this new direction during November 2006, meanwhile Petri Lahtinen and Mika Mäkiranta wrote the lyrics for the tales. They uploaded the songs on their Myspace page (www.myspace.com/landoftales), getting a fabulous response from all over the world. International Fan Clubs have been already founded in Germany and overseas. Land of Tales therefore started shopping their music around, until they caught the interest of Frontiers Records who signed them in the fall of 2007.
The Land of Tales sound is an equal union of keyboards and guitar, crafted with catchy melodies and BIG choruses! The result is a somewhat original and peculiar approach to songwriting and music that makes them stand apart from many other bands of the Melodic Rock genre.
"The new album sounds exactly how we wanted it to sound" says Kristian, "I think that the production sounds like classic stadium rock but still fresh. It is great that people can finally hear Land of Tales´ melodic songs".
In the summer 2007 long time musical friends Sami on bass and Sami O. on drums joined the band during the debut album recording sessions.
"Land of Tales" will include the following songs: Silence; Slow Waters; Keep Out; Outlander; All The Same; Wasted Chance; Nobody Dares; Choose; So Long; Fading Away; Right As Rain.
Land of Tales are geared up to take the Melodic Rock world by storm. Get ready for their exciting slice of class, melodies and Rock !
