Human Temple - Insomnia [2004]
Monday, January 1, 2007
Human Temple was founded in 1998. However, nothing much happened until 2002 when a first demo was sent out to various mags and labels.
The response was very encouraging and in early 2003 the band decided to record a full album. A producer was quickly found. As guitarist Jari Salo had been doing studio work for years, he handled the production duties and did a fine job.
Just to add some extra flavour to the album, a few Finnish guest vocalists were invited to take part: Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish), Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica) and Erkka Korhonen (Urban Tale). Each of them can be heard on one song, while Taage Laiho (Altaria) provided backing vocals.
All the material on "Insomnia" is of epic quality, pushed and teased to the outer limits of melodic intensity. The songs are crafted with a sense of maturity and expertise, certain tracks can honestly be placed alongside some of the greatest moments in hard rock history. The production from Jari is crystal clear, it jumps out and hits you, crisp, instant and mighty. Human Temple plays a mix of the eighties and nineties melodic hard rock, melodic rock and AoR.
