2019 release. The driving force behind the Finnish melodic heavy metal band Merging Flare is guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen, who for four years enriched the sound of U.D.O./Dirkschneider with his tasteful playing. Merging Flare has succeeded in producing an album that combines classic heavy metal - as known from bands like Judas Priest, Accept, Running Wild, Helloween and Gamma Ray - with a typical Nordic note (think of Tarot). All band members are rooted in the 80s - and that's what you hear.
