The Metal Resource just published an exclusive interview with Juho and Valtteri! Read everything about what’s up with Burntfield, our thoughts on music and life, our future plans and beyond… Well worth a read over the holidays!
An Interview with Juho & Valtteri of Finnish Melodic Rock/Prog/AOR Band ‘Burntfield’
My Grief – the new single & music video from Burntfield is out NOW. The single is available for streaming and download on all major streaming and download services, including Spotify, iTunes and Google Play.
Big thanks to everyone involved for making this possible!
The Finnish Melodic Rock band Burntfield are set to release a new single called My Grief on 28 October 2016.
Lyrically, as the title suggests, My Grief deals with feelings of sadness, sorrow and longing for that someone unreachable. The music is emotionally charged with wistful harmonies and harrowing vocals, driven by acoustic guitar, piano and deepened with a string quintet. Burntfield’s signature sound is taken to a whole new level, combining the atmospheric, progressive, melodic and catchy elements in one.
My Grief was recorded and mixed at Sonic Pump Studios, Helsinki with Eero Kaukomies during summer 2016, and mastered afterwards by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers, Espoo. A familiar face in Burntfield as a session man, Arttu Vauhkonen (Arion), makes a special guest appearance on the piano, and string quintet ANSoS adds the natural touch of a full string ensemble.
The music video for My Grief was realized with Finfinitum Video Production. The atmospheric video reflects the story’s emotions with the addition of actress Noora Koivumies and circus/fire artist Jukka Juntti, who bring along a great deal of theatricality to the visual entity.
My Grief is available digitally worldwide for watching, streaming and download.
We’d like to do a little throwback to a few weeks ago at On the Rocks Helsinki, where we had a memorable time supporting The Joanna Connor Band! Check out this canvas made up of photos and video clips from the show to get yourself in the mood, and to warm up for this Wednesday’s show at Lepakkomies, featuring a line-up of Burntfield, Mojo Waves, Astral Bazaar and special guest Pumpuli. This will be our last show of the glorious summer 2016 and, as it is, for quite a while now, so it is highly recommended to come!
Wed 24/08 | doors 20:00 | showtime 20:30
