Bio:
NORTHTALE was born out of the desire of three world class musicians to work with each other in creating a new Power Metal band, blending melodic, anthemic choruses with fast paced rhythms and technically challenging, often harmonized solos.In the words of guitarist Bill Hudson, “We want to bring back the amazing golden years of Power Metal. Like in the late 90s, when STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN, HAMMERFALL and all those bands were at their peak! Those bands, alongside with IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST have been inspiring me to write music my whole life".Hudson met vocalist Christian Eriksson at a summer festival in Sweden, where both were performing with their former groups, UDO DIRKSCHNEIDER and TWILIGHT FORCE, respectively. Both musicians seemed to share the same ideas, and Hudson invited Eriksson to sing on what at the time was supposed to be his solo album.“We were both in touch with Patrick Johansson about starting a new band”, says Eriksson, about the former YNGWIE MALMSTEEN drummer. “It only made sense that him, Bill and myself did something together. That’s basically how it all started”.for the bass, Eriksson brought in his former class mate at Hollywood’s Musicians Institute, Mikael Planefeldt, who has been working in Sweden with STREAMLINE.Jimmy Pitts met Bill Hudson while both musicians worked with Bill's TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA bandmate VITALIJ KUPRIJ (ARTENSION, RING OF FIRE). Pitts seemed like the obvious choice and perfect fit to complete the band’s line up.The band’s debut album, “Welcome To Paradise” was recorded and produced by the band and mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge Studios in Grangärde, Sweden.The album is set to be released in the summer of 2019 via Nuclear Blast Records
Album:
In August 2019, power metal newcomers NorthTale released their successful first album "Welcome To Paradise". After their debut show at Sabaton Open Air in Sweden, followed by shows in Japan, the band underwent a line-up change and after months of auditions, new vocalist Guilherme Hirose from Sao Paolo, Brazil was chosen. Now, after releasing several rerecorded songs from "Welcome To Paradise" with Guilherme on vocals, the band finally announces a new album, "Eternal Flame". Produced by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Unisonic), the album features 12 brand-new tracks and a whole range of new influences, from thrash metal, classical citations and Brazilian traditional music, all fused into NorthTale's own brand of melodic power metal. "Eternal Flame" features guest appearances from legendary icon Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray), his son Tim Kanoa Hansen (Induction), Jonas Heidgert (Dragonland) and Mary Zimmer (Helion Prime). The album artwork was created by Gustavo Sazes (Machine Head, Amaranthe, Kamelot).
