Finland rockers TEMPLE BALLS and their record label Frontiers Music are releasing today ‘‘Avalanche [Deluxe Edition]” with extra, bonus tracks, including ‘Distorted Emotions (Live)’ recorded 2024 and the original Japanese edition bonus track ‘Dead Weight (Acoustic)’. The band is also gearing up for their first UK headlining tour, starting on November 1 in Crumlin.
“Avalanche” is an aptly titled fourth album from this energetic hard rock band. It’s a rocking tour de force that sees the quintet pushing their musical boundaries even further. Once again under the care of producer Jona Tee (H.e.a.t, Crowne, New Horizon), “Avalanche” has all the elements of hooks, powerful rhythms and anthemic rock ‘n’ roll like it is meant to be played.
Temple Balls came to acclaim after the release of their sophomore album “Untamed” which gave them the chance to tour domestically and internationally in support of such legendary acts such as Sonata Arctica, Queen, Battle Beast, Deep Purple and Uriah Heep.
Their new opus “Avalanche” is a contagious album infecting the listener with strong melodies, profuse guitars, explosive riffs, fun lyrics and choruses that will stick to your mind. From the electrifying opening number “All Night Long” through to the title track which closes the album, ”Avalanche” is a guarantee of fine, modern Scandinavian hard rock.
