On their debut album “False Metal” Finland’s Brother Firetribe paid homage to
the melodic rock greats of old, like Journey, Boston and such. The album has
been a ravishing success and in the wake of rave reviews and explosive live
shows the awesome fivesome started working on the supposedly difficult
sophomore album.

Well, for Brother Firetribe the 2nd album is everything but difficult.
Already the 1st completed song of “Heart Full of Fire”, called “I Am Rock”
ended up as the soundtrack of a nationwide Finnish TV series “Pelkkää lihaa”.
Furthermore, Brother Firetribe’s sporty brand of their self-proclaimed
“tennis metal” has frequently been played on television in various sport
broadcasts and the sheer euphoria of the band spread through their audiences
like wildfire.

The result of two years of hard work is now released for everyone to hear and
not only do Brother Firetribe challenge the greats of old. When a bunch of
guys play the music they love, and let the joy be heard, also the immortal
classic albums of melodic rock’s heydays can be surpassed. Mark my words,
“Heart Full of Fire” is an instant melodic rock classic.

With the new album’s slight update the Brother Firetribe sound is
unmistakable already, but the musical influences here still run the gamut
from Foreigner to Loverboy (there’s even a Mike Reno cover on the album). You
can’t but smile with this album, as “Heart Full of Fire” hails back to the
days when it seemed there’s nothing wrong with the world. They’re here again,
to put a smile back on your face.

To quote one of the first reviews of the album: “Brother Firetribe has become
the musical equivalent of cartoon series South Park’s Chef character; it’s
big, beautiful, brazen and full of sweet luuurve!”

Unfortunately pretty much unable to tour for the next two years due to
guitarist Emppu Vuorinen’s chores with million-selling chartbusters Nightwish
and vocalist Pekka Heino’s Leverage duties, Brother Firetribe still will rock
your world with 11 new tracks of melodic supremacy you haven’t heard since
“False Metal”.

C´mon... Love a little!
