This is timeless music that sits right at home in the times we live in. Feel the energy from these musicians who have been around the block enough times to deliver you "The Power"!

Since September, the Finns have been presenting us new hit singles every few weeks, which have taken the airplay charts by storm in many countries around the world. In Germany, the band has been played continuously on the radio for over half a year and was at number 3 in the rock radio charts with the song "Blackened Spiral". 

But "Yes!", "Shadow Boxer" and the title track "The Power" also enjoyed steadily growing popularity. Not only have they become a radio band in many countries around the world, the band is also celebrated for their music in their home country and made it onto the front cover of the current issue of the legendary Soundi magazine.

Today, the wait is finally over and the band is releasing their second studio album. "The Power" is now available on CD & Vinyl and can be streamed on every major streaming platform.

"The Power is a base jump into the dark night lighted by the northern lights. You can run, cry and party with this record and I sincerely love it. It's positive album about challenging and dark moments that turn out to be good and the most beautiful at the end. This is the album about beating the demons and fighting against standards". comments vocalist and lyricist Ville Malja and adds: "The cover of the album is a statement. Times like these we want to remind that it’s us who can make the change. Instead of waving your finger, you can have a listen, think and then act. We are here together and by holding each others hands we create the chain that has all The Power. The Power of dialogue is The Power of change."

"Making ’The Power’ was an epic journey. With this album I feel I have done the deepest and most intense creative work of my life so far. 24 months of uncompromised songwriting, producing, playing, mixing and crafting" says chief composer, guitarist and producer Jussi Ylikoski. "And now I’m very proud to present you this profound piece of rock ’n’ roll: The Power." 

To celebrate the release of the album, the band presents the music video of the song "Arms Around Me".  The stunning video was once again created by director Sami Joensuu.

Arms Around Me is a true story about what it is to grow up in an alcoholic family. It describes the mixed feelings of deep love and muted anger and how those opposite feelings could blend together." comments", Ville and adds: "This song is a sledgehammer. This song is a human grinder."

Jussi adds: "I’m excited to have been able to write such a lucid and distinctive power ballad rock song. The parts are very strong as such, so it made sense to keep them simple and as is. Arms Around Me is big and full, yet it breaths with ease and comes very close to you on many levels."
