Upcoming Finnish metallers April have released some songs for preview from their upcoming album "Tidelines" to be released on the 7th of January, 2007. They can be heard at their Myspace page. April have played at major metal festivals and also supported Bullet for My Valentine on their recent tour.

A short biography:
Helsinki-based five-piece metal combo was founded in 2004. The band's trademark is relentless blend of soulful heavy metal with melodic and pop-esque twists - I guess you could say that April is the old dogs new bag of tricks - a modern metal gem in the global pile of faceless bands jumping the bandwagon.

After signing to Spinefarm Records in early 2006, the band immediately started the pre-production of their debut album - due out in February 2007 - with Tero Kinnunen, a Finnish producer whose work with million-selling Nightwish has won international recognition and acclaim.

The upcoming album "Tidelines" is filled with virtuoso vocals, gigantic and heavy riffs as well as beautiful and balanced songwriting. It's definitely heavy metal but with alternative rock and pop music flavours.

Between the recording sessions April has supported Welsh heroes Bullet For My Valentine, played two major open-air metal festivals and spent numerous hours rehearsing and sharpening their skills for future attacks!
