Kotipelto - Sleep Well (2007)

Artist : Kotipelto
Country : Finland
Release : Sleep Well
Year : 2007
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Solo release, entitled "Serenity".. The freshness, class and melody of the material is just overwhelming and holds a very high level throughout the whole record, whilst also delivering all that a great Melodic Metal record needs! Fast and furious bangers like the great opener "Once Upon A Time" prepare the path for classic Hardrock tunes such as "Sleep Well" and the album closes superbly with the 8 minute long epic "Last Defender".

Kotipelto - Serenity (2007)

Artist : Kotipelto
Country : Finland
Release : Serenity
Year : 2007
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

To compare this with the first two Kotipelto albums, it's vastly better than the first which had too much of that 'hollow high end' sound to be truly enjoyableand the feel of the tunes are mor mid range and more connective. Production by Kotipelto himself and guitarist Tuomas Wainola is clean and clear without being too prissy and suits the albums mood. And it should be noted that Wainola is the only person other than Kotipelto to get a writing credit it should be noted. Other band members are Janne Wirman on keys, Lauri Porra on bass and drums courtesy of Mirka Rantonen.

Kotipelto - Coldness (2004) [Japan Edition]

Artist : Kotipelto
Country : Finland
Release : Coldness [Japan Edition]
Year : 2004
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

In all actuality, both of Timo's solo albums are not extensions of Stratovarius (unintentionally or otherwise) and this is a very good thing. Like its predecessor, "Coldness" does not get bogged down in excessively long songs (like some recent Strato kind of does) and he makes much better use of his voice on his own projects by only singing in the upper reaches of his rather impressive range sparingly and then mostly in the background. In comparison to his first solo effort, this one is quite personal and a little bit dark, as evidenced by the beautiful cover art and photos inside.
