Finnish Heavy Metal Super Group to Release a Follow-up to Their Gold-selling debut
On November 19, Warner Music will release an anticipated second album from Northern Kings – the Finnish heavy metal vocal group comprising of Marco Hietala (Nightwish), Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica), J Ahola (Teräsbetoni) and JP Leppäluoto (Charon).
A year ago Northern Kings redefined the meaning of a cover song with their debut album Reborn, released in the fall of 2007. The bold collection of 80’s classics reshaped to metal versions achieved gold status in Finland and was released throughout Europe as well as in Japan.
The new album titled Rethroned is, as its predecessor,
an 11-track triumph of legendary tunes covered in heavy
metal style. On this album the group has worked more
tightly together, and even more concentration has been
put on group dynamics and the song selection. The tracks
on the album include unforgettable hits such as I Should
Be So Lucky by Kylie, Kiss From A Rose by Seal, Wanted
Dead Or Aliveby Bon Jovi and My Way by Frank Sinatra.
Also a James Bond theme A View To Kill, originally recorded
by Duran Duran, can be count as one of the strongest
performances on Rethroned.
