Only Heavy Metal

Nitte Valo (ex-Battle Beast) joins Burning Point as a new singer!

Finnish melodic metal band, Burning Point, recruited a new singer and a new keyboardist. "2009 when we parted ways with Pasi (Hiltula), we decided we would continue without an "official" player in the band and use a "hired gun" in the gigs. Jarkko (Väisänen) was our first choice and he has been with us for a while now. He is a solid player and really cool guy to be with. We are very happy that he decided to join BP ranks as an official keyboardist", band states. Pete also decided to step down from the lead-vocalist position and continue as a guitarist. "Well, it has been a one helluva ride for 15 years to handle both, vocals and guitar, but now we thought it was time to try something totally new. I love playing and singing live, I love to be on the spotlight...but also I want the band to be in constant motion and moving forward", says Pete. "Nitte is perfect choice as a new frontma...oh woman :), very powerful voice and an awesome stage performer!"

"These guys are awesome and the music, just great! I love all the Burning Point songs! I’ve been away from the world of heavy metal for a while now, but now with these guys, I am back! I’m very excited and anxious to start recording the new stuff and just waiting to be on stage with Burning Point", Nitte explains.

Band will start recording the new album within two weeks and the working title is "Polttopiste". More news coming very soon, stay fired up!

Finnish power metallers BURNING POINT have signed with AFM Records. Being an active part of the European power metal scene for the last 15 years, the band around mastermind/guitarist Pete Ahonen has added former Battle Beast vocalist Nitte Valo to the group’s ranks in 2014 and is set to release their new album soon. Exact details will be announced soon.

Ahonen comments: “To me AFM Records has always been a label of quality releases and the words can't describe of how happy and excited I and we are to be a part of the AFM family! It has been very clear from the start that they have a heart full of fire and huge load of enthusiasm towards the bands in their roster. I have to say that first time in YEARS we (label and the band) work as a TEAM.”

Finnish power metallers BURNING POINT will release their new album, simply titled "Burning Point", on June 12th (EU) / July 7th (US). "Burning Point" includes 5 brand new songs and 6 re-recorded tracks from the band's first three albums.In 2014, former Battle Beast vocalist Nitte Valo joined the band, so this the first release with her fronting BURNING POINT.

Guitarist Pete Ahonen states:
"It was clear from the start that we wanted this album to be an absolute best representer of the new improved line-up, as well as a breath of new life to some of the old BP-classics! This self-titled album is a perfect example of where we come from, where we are and to where we are heading to."

"The Blaze" set for release on November 25th!

Finnish power metal veterans BURNING POINT are back with a new album! Titled "The Blaze", it marks the first release of all-new songs since vocalist Nitte Valo (ex-Battle Beast) joined the band in 2014.
