Northern Kings - Biography
Biography
Northern Kings can without a doubt be called an all-star line-up of Finnish metal.
The group is not an ordinary band, but a league of four vocalists, who are all frontmen of successful heavy metal bands. They wanted to create something special together and came up with an idea of arranging 80's classics to metal versions - to which all the four vocalists could contribute. It is not anymore far beyond imagination how it would sound like if Marco Hietala from Nightwish, Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica, JP Leppäluoto from Charon and J Ahola from Teräsbetoni sang together. It is real!
The tracks from the debut album "Reborn" include legendary pieces such as "We Don't Need Another Hero" by Tina Turner, "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" by Cutting Crew, "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, "Brothers In Arms" by Dire Straits and "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.
