Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new solo album, "My Father's Son", from guitarist/songwriter Jani Liimatainen (The Dark Element, Insomnium) on May 6, 2022. The Finnish musician's impeccable talents are on full display on this new album and he's got a stellar cast of friends lending their talents to the proceedings…

Stratovarius, the top name in the melodic power metal scene, is back with a new album with some fresh and some very rare material! "Enigma: Intermission II" features three brand-new songs as well as, for the first time in the band's history, four beautifully arranged orchestral versions of popular Stratovarius songs. The album is similar in concept to "Intermission", released 17 years ago between "Infinite" and "Elements" in the sense that these seven tracks made in 2018 are completed by nine very rare, very hard to find power metal gems…

Formed in the spring of 2014 under the name No Man’s Land, King Company is a band featuring cream of the crop Finnish Hard Rock scene members. Drummer Mirka "Leka" Rantanen (Raskasta Joulua, Warmen, Thunderstone, Kotipelto) had been thinking about forming a new Hard Rock/Melodic Metal band for a long time. He wanted to play with people with whom he had worked before and who he knew both as good musicians and as friends. First, he contacted guitarist Antti Wirman (Warmen) who immediately joined the band. Singer Pasi Rantanen was in Mirka's mind from the beginning, as they had played together in a couple of bands before (Thunderstone, Warmen). After keyboardist Jari Pailamo (Kiuas, Ponies To Kill) and bassist Time Schleifer (Enfarce) joined the band, this super group of sorts was finally ready to start working.

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the second release from Finland's Circus Of Rock, "Lost Behind The Mask". Circus Of Rock is a massive musical project masterminded by drummer Mirka Rantanen (King Company) and "Lost Behind The Mask" is the monstrous follow-up to the band's epic debut album. Circus Of Rock's debut album, “Come One, Come All” was released in August 2021 and featured a killer line-up of singers and musicians. Members of bands from the likes of Amaranthe, Tyketto, Hardline, Nightwish, Leverage, Stratovarius, Brother Firetribe, Masterplan, and others were all involved. Certainly a tall order to come up with a suitable sequel, but Mirka has more than capably risen to the occasion by recruiting a stellar casts of guests including members of Lordi, Pink Cream 69, Uriah Heep, Girish And The Chronicles, Sons Of Apollo, Ring Of Fire, and more.
