Thy Row - "Fragments Of Memory" (video)
Κυκλοφορεί ήδη, εδώ και μερικές ημέρες, το πρώτο full length album των Thy Row, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Unchained". Η μπάντα μας λέει για το τραγούδι "Fragments Of Memory":
«Fragments of Memory was born in a songwriting camp in Thailand with our guitar players Ville and Jussi and our producer Sami. This song was first given a working title “Tiger”, inspired by the Tiger Temple.
Jussi started to play this oriental theme where Ville made the haunting chords for the background. Ville had this riff for chorus where it all started to build up. Even Though we had great parts in the song but the parts refused to work together.
Everything was just too progressive. When Mikael added vocal melodies the song's idea started to lighten up and now it is one of our favourite songs on the album.»
Οι Thy Row μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Φινλανδίας. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ τετραετίας κι ακροβατούν ανάμεσα στο (μοντέρνο) hard rock και στο (κλασικό) heavy metal. Μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι: «Thy Row offers up a fresh mix of old-school heavy metal with modern hard rock». Εκτός του "Unchained" έχουν κυκλοφορήσει και το ομώνυμο ep προ διετίας...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Founded in 2017, Thy Row made their first entry on the Finnish scene with their 2019 independently released self-titled EP. The record's lead single "The Round" reached over 110K streams on Spotify and added to the EP's overall praise that gave the group the opportunity to tour Japan in 2019 with Beast In Black and Swallow The Sun.
Ready to follow up the success of that EP, Thy Row's first full-length offers up a fresh mix of the finest heavy metal with modern hard rock that every metalhead can bang their heads to. With ten tracks plus a bonus cover of X Japan's "Blue Blood" for its Japanese release, there are lots of great melodies spiced up with shakin’ riffs that are sure to encourage fans to turn up their stereo knobs all the way to eleven and enjoy.
“Our fans have waited for this album since we released our EP. We showed everyone that we are a force to be reckoned with and this record is going to prove that to everyone.” comments bassist Juho Jokimies. "Unchained" features guest artists Ben Varon (Oceanhoarse, ex-Amoral), Ilja Jalkanen (Raskasta Joulua, Kiuas), and Teemu Mäntysaari (Wintersun, Smackbound) plus was mixed by Jussi Kraft (Starkraft Studio) and partly by Nino Laurenne (Sonic Pump Studios).
Mastering was handled by Grammy-nominated Svante Forsbäck of Chartmakers Mastering (Rammstein, Volbeat). The story behind the record is the telling of Thy Row becoming a band and the tale of their collective brotherhood as they grow and learn from one another.
Many of the tracks deal with personal matters from each member. "Creating this album was a long and a hard process, but it was also a road we wanted to walk to be able to present this music to the people. With a guitar case in hand, not knowing each other originally, we became friends and we made this album with pure innocent passion and love for the music.
Every song, every story is connected to our lives and our friendship, and we hold this piece very close to our hearts! Each one of us gave our best and more, developing as musicians and people in the process. None of us wanted to compromise in any area, and that made the creation process extremely long and difficult.
However, we feel that our debut album is a victory of not giving up, supporting your team members when the going gets tough, and crossing the finishing line with pride and determination. The story, the sound and the process are the epitome of our lives, thoughts and experiences from those times we were making this album, and we hope that people will enjoy this ride we have to offer!"
Recommended for fans of The Scorpions, Megadeth and Queen, Thy Row's "Unchained" is available as of Friday, September 24th via Rockshots Records / Rubicon Music (Japan).»
