Entwine: New Album - Painstained
Melodic goth rockers Entwine will be celebrating a 10-year recording career with the UK release of their latest/sixth studio album, 'Painstained' – already Top 10 in their native Finland.
Tuomas Holopainen
Produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa, noted for his work with 69 Eyes, Apocalyptica & HIM, the record sees the band delivering some of their strongest, most memorable songs to date – the likes of 'Dying Moan', 'Caught By Desire' and first single / video 'Strife'.
'Painstained' will be the first Entwined album to be granted an official release in the UK, and the way is now clear for the five to follow up this outing with a run of UK shows.
For My Pain: Reissue of 'Fallen'
Featuring Nightwish mainman Tuomas Holopainen on keyboards along with members of Eternal Tears Of Sorrow, Embraze & Reflexion, For My Pain is essentially a Finnish project put together by like-minded musicians.
Taking the opportunity granted by natural breaks in all of their respective schedules, the band entered Tico-Tico studios in 2002 to lay down 10 tracks of gothic/atmospheric metal, and now – six years down the line – this excellent first outing is finally being granted an official UK release.
In addition to the 10 tracks mentioned above, 'Fallen' – mixed by Mikko Karmila, a man who has shaped the sound of Finland's foremost rock acts – will come with the UK-only bonus track 'Killing Romance', a chart single in Finland back in 2004.
