The next big Finnish group? Time will tell. They are currently working on their debut album.
Take a listen to the song 'Don't Let Me Go': http://theraggedsain.../dont-let-me-go

From Rock Eyez Webzine:

"THE RAGGED SAINTS debut three-song promo EP “The Sound Of Breaking Free”, features seasoned veterans of the music world and it is starting to catch fire even before the release of their full-length release coming later in 2013. The members have all been in productive bands and certainly have the talent to step up and make THE RAGGED SAINTS an entity all its own.
With tantalizing power chords and featuring a voice from the heavens, THE RAGGED SAINTS are sure to rnake a name with their VAN HALEN-styled mixture of eighties sounds. The songs are well written and will attract melodic rock fans as well as hard rockers.
Markku Kuikka on vocals has a bit of Tommy Shaw style in him and is very easy to listen to. “Don’t Let Me Go” is a melodic rocker that is a smooth track and is uplifting and has the essence to become a real fan favorite.
The title track “The Sound Of Breaking Free” is the heaviest track on the EP but is in the same mold as the first two tracks. These boys from Helsinki, Finland should have no problem being noticed as the songs flow well and melodic rock fans will come running. We only get three tracks for now but look out for the rest later in the year."

Doesn't sound like "the next big thing" to me. Not bad, but won't have me blowin' a load either.

Oh please, go away.

 

Forgive me, if the truth is hard to swallow.

Great sounding band - very good tunes. And by the grace of my lord and saviour jesus christ, the vocalist doesn't sound like every single other Finnish vocalist. I look forward to hearing more.

Swallow this... :masturbanana:

Since when are you an expert on Finnish music?

:P

 

 

I agree with you Geoff, he sure doesn't sound Finnish at all and I've never heard of him before. Pretty much without accent.

This could turn out to be pretty good.

 

Looking forward to their debut.

BTW Did you know that the new Shadow Past album was produced by Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse, W.E.T.)?

 

Now you do...

wanted to be blown away...

... wasn't.

 

Not too bad. solid, but nothing mind blowing. likely somehing that a stereo would do justice to instead of shitty laptop speaker.

 

Exactly. Definitely keep an eye on them, but I'm not gonna get too excited.

I wonder if this means a return to the project's original synthwave style?

    • New song 'Siren Song'. From Frontiers: Seventh Crystal, who stormed on the melodic rock scene in 2021 since their stunning debut album "Delirium", have announced the release of their third full-length, "Entity". Seventh Crystal took everything up a major level (or two, really), "Entity" sees the bands exploring and expanding different genres, bringing their melodic rock formula, to progressive rock fields, sometimes little heavier and back to their unique rock style. Seventh Crystal is a melodic hard rock band from Gothenburg formed by Kristian Fyhr in 2019. What started as a solo project by Kristian quickly grew into a larger endeavor when Johan Älvsång and Olof Gadd joined the project. Shortly after, Anton Roos and Emil Dornerus also joined the band, completing the initial lineup. In 2020 the band signed a deal with Frontiers Records and released their debut album "Delirium" in 2021, which made waves all around the world. Due to the guitar-heavy parts on the album, the band realized they needed one more guitarist to be able to perform the songs live. Gustav Linde, an old friend of Anton Roos, took on the job, and the band began to work on their slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up album "Wonderland." The album "Wonderland" was released in 2023 alongside the EP "Infinity," establishing the band as an act to be reckoned with. During the fall, Johan Älvsång decided to step aside, and the band continued as a five-piece into the recordings of a third album. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, from soft rock to hard-hitting heavy metal, Seventh Crystal showcases a diverse range of musical expression. The band aims to be authentic and serve as an inspiration, outlet, and escape for their audience. Their sound is characterized by bombastic productions, catchy hooks, and dramatic and emotional melodies. TRACKLIST: 1. Oathbreaker 2. Thirteen to One 3. 404 4. Path of the Absurd 5. Architects of Light 6. Interlude 7. Blinded by the Light 8. Siren Song 9. Versus 10. Mayflower 11. Push Comes to Shove 12. A Place Called Home 13. Song Of The Brave    
    • The latest band featured is "Y&T". This is a good one, as always with channel.  On a side note, I'm just thinking that there aren’t too many bands that have a Lead Singer that is also the Lead Guitarist.
