Thunderstone – Apocalypse Again (Album Review)
Similarly, Finnish power metal band Thunderstone returns after a six-year hiatus with their original singer Pasi Rantanen back in the fold. Longtime fans of the band will be glad to hear his familiar raspy voice. It’s the true standout on this new offering, Apocalypse Again.
Joining Rantanen (or should I say Rantanen re-joining them), Nino Laurenne tears it up on guitar with heavy riffs and blazing solos. Unfortunately, much of the time he gets lost under the overpowering keyboards by Jukka Karinen. His keyboard is turned up a bit too high in the mix, but his playing is stellar. Titus Hjelm and Atte Palokangas lay down a solid rhythm on bass and drums.
Overall, this is a great return to form for Thunderstone and Rantanen. Power metal fans, you’re going to want to check out Apocalypse Again. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
