(book) Dio:Rainbow in the dark

Ova knjiga je zapravo autobiografija legende metala Ronnie James Dia, koju je napisao on, a posthumno su je završili njegova supruga Wendy Dio i Mick Wall. Onaj dio koji se odnosi na Wendyno učestvovanje u knjizi je dovršetak nekih poglavlja pričom koja sadrži njenu stranu, odnosno njeno viđenje događaja u poglavlju. Moram napomenuti da knjiga ne obuhvaće cijeli Diov život, do smrti od raka 2010., već počinje njegovim razmišljanjem kada čeka u backstageu Madison Square Gardena na početak koncerta kojeg je uvijek želio, biti headliner te legendarne dvorane u New Yorku, odakle je Dio i potekao. Knjiga i završava tim koncertom. Između je Diov uspon kao mladi trubač i pjevač bendova, preko uspjeha sa Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, do megauspješne solo karijere. Knjiga sadrži mnoštvo anegdota i avantura ispričanih iz Diove glave direktno u prvom licu, kako je nastao poznati horn sign rukom kojeg danas upotrebljavaju članovi metal plemena diljem svijeta. Knjiga je jako pitka, jako zanimljiva, jako se brzo čita i nije zamorno puko nabrajanje činjenica. Dakle, ako volite ili ćete tek zavoljeti ovog gospodina, jednog od najljepših glasova i najboljih pjevača u metalu, preporučam vam ovu knjigu.

(news) Finnish melodic heavy rock band Frail has released their long awaited sophomore full length album!

Gigs all over Europe, being one of the international export hopes in Finland in the 2000s, getting high on Finland’s official album chart and finally losing passion for the band’s musical dream due to setbacks and personal struggles. After all these experiences, Frail is ready to conquer hearts with their stirring American-influenced modern rock and personal descriptions of the pain and unfairness of the average person’s life.

Frail’s singer-songwriter Tarmo‘s closely seen and experienced struggles with addictions and mental health problems, the heavy adversities that came on his way, and the fear of losing his own child to a serious illness brought a chronic feeling of gloom and meaninglessness to his life, which eventually extinguished even the last glow of his passion for music.

For a decade, music was packed in a locked chest and put in a cold attic – even though its healing power was exactly what was needed. Now these moving experiences have been immortalized to help every Average Joe struggling with the same issues in life.

Frail’s new album ‘Stand by Me In the Storm’ presents a collage of relatable stories, which are carried forward by strong and melodically rich compositions and broad vocal harmonies, while modern low-tuned rock monumentally knocks the souls of every listener.

The message of the album is crystallized in the name of the band – life is damn frail.

Frail is:
Tarmo Kellomäki – Vocals
Joel Hekkala – Guitar
Otto Kulhomäki – Bass
Jussi Järvi – Drums
