Formed by Erno “Emppu” Vuorinen, the guitarist of Nightwish, Brother Firetribe was built for the AOR market, though somehow they're heavier than they should be. "False Metal" (or "Break Out" in Japanese release) is the classy melodic rock debut of 2006 that's powerfully beautiful. Check out some monstrous well-written tracks such as "Valerie" that sounded distortingly sweet, this is the kind of track that if popularized in the mid 80s, alongside with other commercial hits, "One Single Breath" and "Love Goes Down". These type of songs should have awarded them several platinums. Most songs here were polished with an amazing giant chorus and smoothed out with killer solos and impeccable keyboard synth. Listen to "Midnite Queen", "Lover Tonite", or the Cheap Trick's "Mighty Wings", they totally bring back the glory days of arena rock.

Brother Firetribe is like a Finnish answer to Swedish' The Poodles and Norway's Wig Wam, but somehow each of them sounded differently though they were all rooted to the classic sound of 80s rock. Imagine Nightwish's symphonic flair, Van Halen's synthesized opus, and Journey's magnificent melody, and you'll get the idea of how Brother Firetribe sounded. An impressive and flawless album!
