BURNING POINT – The Blaze

With a number of records under their belt, Burning Point maintains momentum with The Blaze. These Finns crank out an LP with the right amount of effects to make it polished without being gaudy. There is a lot of Traditional Metal atop a base of Power Metal. Imagine Judas Priest attempting the latter genre.

Guitar solos are great but moot; Nitte Valo’s voice alone is an instrument—often singing melodies in their full range, as if taking on the role of first-chair violin. It adds a unique and distinctive sound to the band. Listen to “Chaos Rising” for the best example.

The Blaze is a fine specimen of Metal done right. Well-recorded, well-mixed, and of course well-written. To quote Back To The Future, “You know that new sound you’re looking for? Well, listen to this!”
