Info for Finding Pieces

Power metal voice Christian Eriksson (ex-Twilight Force, ex-NorthTale) is back with his new band FINAL STRIKE's debut album, „Finding Pieces“, offering everything fans of the genre could wish for. The album was created with the premise that it should sound exactly like what the seventeen-year-old selves of the Swedes would have liked to have bought. Freely based on the psychological-philosophical motto "Perfection lies in imperfection", the quintet has pursued the original objective. “Finding Pieces” comes across in a relaxed, lighthearted and carefree manner. Groovy riffing as the basis for an extremely melodic guitar playing, which is underpinned by driving drums and bass lines as well as keyboard arrangements that expand the overall sound. Above all, the voice of Christian Eriksson reigns supreme, who has managed to convey the previously mentioned lightheartedness to the songs, which will delight all fans of melodic power metal, from teenagers to old hands.

FINAL STRIKE
the new power metal band around exceptional vocalist Christian Eriksson (Ex-Twilight Force, Ex-Northtale) has signed a worldwide record deal with REAPER ENTERTAINMENT.

When Christian and Northtale parted ways in 2020, the talented singer was at a crossroads in his life. He wanted to hang up the music and focus on other things. After some time of self-reflection, he decided that he wanted to make one last attempt to form his own band and make an album that he would have liked even when he was seventeen: FINAL STRIKE was born. Patrick Johansson (Drums) and Jimmy Pitts (Keyboards) had already played with Christian in Northtale and also agreed to join the new band. The exceptional Swedish guitarist Martin Floberg and the bassist Jan Ekberg, also from Sweden, didn’t hesitate on joining the band.

For the upcoming first studio album, the band has now signed a worldwide record deal.

Christian comments: ”Final Strike is exactly what it sounds like, the final strike. We’ve gathered all of our experiences throughout life and united in a communal vision. With material for a long lasting future we look forward sharing our work with you. One last strike and this one is going to strike hard”

Flori from Reaper adds: “I’ve always been a big fan of Christian’s voice. His vocals and music have always reminded me a lot of my favorite albums of my youth – the Keepers era of Helloween. Few singers come so close to the singing skills of a young Michael Kiske. I am very glad that Christian decided to form a band. After listening to the first songs, I can only say that my seventeen year old self would have completely loved the album. However, I still do that today with 18… 🙂 Welcome to the Reaper family!
