Brother Firetribe - Sunbound (2017)

While Europe still writhes in the claws of winter, the band with the sunniest disposition on the planet, Brother Firetribe, are already jumping the gun towards summer – introducing their new album, Sunbound.

The band’s fourth full-length album presents an ensemble who’ve evolved their sound further, having let go some of the heavy metal trappings of their past and now lean more toward the ultra-melodic West Coast AOR.

With all the band’s well-beloved trademark traits – Pekka Ansio Heino’s silkenly suave voice, Tomppa Nikulainen’s celestial keyboard passages and melodic magnificence, Emppu Vuorinen’s ever-recognizable guitar classisness, Jason Flick’s heavenly harmony vocals and pulsating bass and Hannes Pirilä’s driving drum beats –Brother Firetribe’s “Sunbound” sounds fatter than their previous work to date, and not just more contemporary, also better than ever.
