SIX SILVER SUNS is a recent addition to the Finnish rock field, but the band's members are all well known musicians. Janne Mannonen on the drums is known from Finnish legendary band, YUP. Vocalist Markku Kuikka has been heard on many of heavy and hard rock albums. Guitarists Toni Bite and Harri Petjakko, bass player Teo Lehto and keyboardist Sammy Tabermann have released dozens of records with several bands. Helena Haaparanta is heard as a background singer. SIX SILVER SUNS has emerged from the desire to wander back to the golden years of rock and pop music: the 70s and the 80s. The band’s inspiration comes from progressive rock, goes towards BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, and combines all with the catchy tunes and melodies from AOR and Melodic/Hard Rock scene. Their first release is entitled "As Archons Fall”. The album includes ten versatile songs which have beautiful harmonies and melodies all the way. "As Archons Fall" is a fantastic journey to the SIX SILVER SUNS universe, where any song can lead a listener into different kind of cosmic soundscapes. There is also a nice cover song, THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS - "California Dreamin`", which has also been successfully covered by Bobby Womack, RIVER CITY PEOPLE, Tommy Shaw/Jack Blades, Joce Feliciano, Nancy Sinatra, THE BEACH BOYS and many others! Of course there is some pieces to pick up as enjoyable moments as you like. I choose tracks: “Lord Of The Southern Tower”, “To The Unknown”, “Sweet Promethean”, “The Stranger”, “Vultures Of Nevermore”, “Edge Of Forever” and of course the cover of “California Dreamin’”. A really great start for these Finnish guys!!! Check it!!!
