about

Twenty years ago, if you heard the name Finland, your mind conjured up feelings of cold and images of snow, reindeer and endless forests. Since then the Nordic country has become one of the heavy metal scene's leading suppliers. Despite the often great distances between towns in the land, musicians have always managed to find each other, get together and form new bands to realise their musical visions and thus enrich the scene. ASTRALION are no exception. Brought to life in a pub in southern Finland and firmly formed three years ago the band has needed only this short time to sign an international deal for their debut album. On their self-titled work, the lads deliver solid, melodic Power Metal marked by tight walls of guitars and great keyboard melodies. The motto of the band is very apt: "Forget the dragon, forget the sword, here's true power from the chord!"

The fact that ASTRALION comprises of former members of bands such as Olympos Mons, The Addication and HumanGod has the advantage that we have experienced musicians with a firm and clear target ahead of them. The musical direction of the Finns was influenced by bands such as Sonata Arctica, Thunderstone, Hammerfall, Stratovarius, early Blind Guardian and Y. Malmsteen. In a nutshell then we are talking about broad choruses, voluminous melodies, galloping guitar attacks as well as tactful, neo-progged 6-string inserts. Speed is an important characteristic of ASTRALION's style, similar to early Sonata Arctica work but with higher melodic content. Yet on the other hand you cannot miss a touch of Teutonic-Metal a la Helloween.
