Moon Madness - All In Between
Chronique rédigée par Lynott parue le 19.11.2008 00:41:24

Question existentielle : comment, en étant originaires de Finlande, en jouant du Hard Rock et en possédant une chanteuse, ne pas être comparés à Nightwish ? Eh bien je ne sais pas moi, voir le jour à Tempere et pas à Kitee ? Un peu léger mon ami… Sortir de l’ombre en 2001 et pas en 1996 ? Pas vraiment convainquant tout ça… Ho et puis zut, elle est trop dure ta question ! Bon, je vais te le dire, tu n’as décidément aucune imagination : il faut jouer du Heavy Rock mélodramatique qui mêle des influences des 70’s et des 80’s et pas du Métal Symphonique… C’était évident…

Du « Heavy Rock mélodramatique qui mêle des influences des 70’s et des 80’s » donc… En tous cas, c’est ce qu’ils disent les jeunots, restait à le prouver.

Après plusieurs écoutes de cet opus, j’aurais tendance à dire que ce n’est pas faux. En effet, quand on prête une oreille aux synthés, il y a parfois dans cet album du Deep Purple (« Thunder »), souvent du Rainbow aussi et du Blackmore dans les guitares (« Ain’t no Angel » et « Shot Though the Wind » avec évidence) mais également du Pat Benatar lorsqu’on s’attache aux intonations mélodiques, ce qui nous change de la Lyric’s Academy.

Ces finlandais se sont en tous cas attachés à soigner leurs mélodies. Cette sensation ne saute pas forcément aux oreilles sur l’instant, mais il serait dommage de ne pas insister, car cette particularité surgit après plusieurs écoutes. L’explication vient vraisemblablement du fait que l’on a trop tendance à attendre le refrain qui interpelle (ce qui arrive parfois : « Too Much To Loose », « Torn ») sans se concentrer suffisamment sur le piano (« Before it’s too Late »), la guitare (« Victim of the Moon »), les couplets (« Stroke of Midnight ») ou un passage « cinématographique » (quel final dans « On the Edge of Madness » !).

Un premier disque tout à fait correct donc, pas d’une originalité confondante certes, mais d’une légèreté somme toute plutôt fraîche. Ce « All in Between » s’écoute sans faim, il n’effrayera pas vos voisins, pourra s’apprécier au coin du feu tout en vous maintenant éveillé et vous rappellera, parfois, de vieux souvenirs. Si vous y prêtez attention, vous vous apercevrez que le guitariste et le clavier se débrouillent plutôt honorablement, qu’Heidi possède une voix agréable et que tout ce petit monde nous a pondu un opus bourré de mélodies non dénuées d’intérêt.

Soyez curieux, donnez leur chance à ces petits ménestrels venus du froid et jetez pour cela une écoute attentive sur leur effort musical, sans oublier d’aller visiter leur site web qui est tout à fait complet.

Novedades - MoonMadness 'All In Between'
La banda finlandesa MoonMadness (todo junto y como el disco de Camel) me ha enviado su disco debut 'All In Between', editado este mes en forma independiente. Son cinco y la vocalista se llama Heidi Bergbacka. Como ellos mismos declaran, las influencias del grupo parten de los 70 y 80, con dos estilos bien definidos: por un lado, el progresivo y sinfónico, con preponderancia de los teclados, y por el otro el AOR de la década del ochenta.

De esta forma, MoonMadness podrían sonar como unas Heart jevis o como una versión un tanto más intrincada y menos empalagosa que los suecos Coastline o Alyson Avenue. Hay muy buenas canciones como "Stroke to Midnight", la balada "Victims of the Moon" y la final con aires orientales "On The Edge of Madness"(con un aire a "First Time" de Robin Beck). Muy recomendable.

Este es el video del primer single "Shot Through The Wing":

Moonmadness - All In Between
Eigen beheer

Sjak: Het heeft een behoorlijk tijdje geduurd, maar nu is dan toch eindelijk het debuut-album van Moonmadness beschikbaar. Deze Finse band rondom de vrouwelijke zangeres Heidi Bergbacka had al een drietal CD-singles afgeleverd, die door ondergetekende wel gewaardeerd werden en de nieuwsgierigheid naar deze 'All In Heaven' hadden aangewakkerd. Beide single-nummers 'Stroke Of Midnight' en 'Torn' zijn ook op deze debuutplaat te vinden, maar wel in een aanmerkelijk betere geluidskwaliteit.

Moonmadness speelt "classic" rock met veel invloeden uit de zeventiger en tachtiger jaren en dat luistert gewoon lekker weg. Blikvanger van de band is natuurlijk zangeres Heidi Bergbacka die vocaal moeiteloos overeind blijft en zij is het met name die er voor zorgt dat nummers als 'Stroke Of Midnight', 'Shot Through The Wing', 'Before It's Too Late' en 'On The Edge Of Madness' erg de moeite waard maken. Ook gitarist Otto Hallamaa doet een aardige duit in het zakje middels zijn frivole gitaarspel. Daar waar ik me tijdens de beluistering van de CD-singles nog niet aan een waardering durfde te wagen vanwege de beperkte tijdsduur van het aangeboden materiaal zal ik er nu toch aan moeten geloven. Gelukkig heeft de band het me niet al te moeilijk gemaakt want classic rock is een genre waar ik wel voor te porren ben. Mocht je net als ik een liefhebber hiervan zijn en een nieuwe band (die de Deep Purple en Rainbow invloeden niet kan (en wil) ontkennen) aan je collectie wil toevoegen zou ik zeker deze 'All In Between' van Moonmadness eens een kans geven. Ik ben er vrij zeker van dat je overstag zult gaan. Goed debuut!

Score: 80/100 (toelichting)

Moonmadness - All in Between
A Finlândia de uns anos para cá, tem nos trazido bandas com qualidade, alguns citariam o Nightwish, mas há muitas bandas de variados estilos, que vão do metal ao hard rock, e nesta boa cena da Finlândia, surge o Moonmadness.
A banda conta com vocais femininos a cargo de Heidi Bergbacka, e graças ao Deuses os vocais dela não tem nada a ver com Nightwish( merefiro aos vocais da Tarja), e afins, mesmo o som da banda em alguns momentos soar mais metal melódico, mas ao contrário de alguns comentários sobre o álbum que afirmam que a banda faz parte deste estilo, está mais para uma banda que mescla hard rock com metal, especialmente em algum timbres de teclado, lembrando bandas dos anos 70 e 80, mesmo que eles sofram de comparações devido aos vocais femininos.
Como eu costumo dizer, é muito bom encontrar nobas bandas boas, que temos prazer em ouvir-las, e o Moonmadness me deixou empolgado com a sua música e hosnestidade e paixão contidas em sua música.
Em seu debut "All in Between", há canções muito boas entre as 10 faixas, há de se resaltar que a banda mostra grande maturidade, mesmo sendo uma banda nova e com um álbum de estréia.
Há músicas para todos os gostos, rapidas como "Shot Through The Wing" e "Thunder", como também mais hard rock como "Torn"(excelente por sinal, grande refrão!)e "Victins of the Moon". Em "On The Edge Of Madness" a banda mostra grandes arranjos de teclado, muito linda, também há de se destacar a "Ain`t No Angel".
É um álbum de se ouvir do começo ao fim, pois é o tipico álbum de fácil assimilação e te pega na primeira audição, muito recomendado! Rating 8/10

"All In Between (Italian)"

I MoonMadness vengono da Tampere e sono una metal-band riconoscibile per l´armoniosa voce femminile, portavoce di tutto quel romanticismo martellante e deciso, tipico delle band rock nordiche e del loro genere. All In Between è l´album di debutto di questa band, che ricorda vagamente i Nightwish e in particolare i Sonata Arctica, band con cui i MoonMadness hanno a lungo suonato in giro per la Finlandia. 10 canzoni già mature, nonostante si tratti di un incipit discografico, che prendono spunto dai grandi brani di Iron Maiden e Dream Theatre, su tutti. (direi anche Rainbow e Deep Purple N.D.R.) Si parte con un inizio a mo´ di overture di tutto l´album, la solo-strumentale ed evocativa On The Air, per poi partire con pezzi decisamente melodici e ritmati, come Stroke Of Midnight o Before It´s Too Late, certamente interessanti, ma a tratti decisamente troppo poco originali ed innovative. Più ricche Torn e Too Much To Lose, quasi dal sapore delle ballate anni ´80-90 alla Bon Jovi, anche se prive di quell´impatto scenico travolgente. Bella e scatenata invece Thunder, ricca di riff ambiziosi, come anche is singolo estrapolato dall´album, Shot Through The Wing, sicuramente la più radiofonica. In sintesi All In Between è un album ben pensato, ma che manca un pochino di quelle particolarità che lo renderebbero caratteristico e quindi riconoscibile, a favore invece di forse troppi spunti e rielaborazioni già sentite altrove.

MOONMADNESS: "All In Between" 8
Blue Violet 2008
Review by Satu Reunanen
May 2008
MoonMadness has had their debut underway for a long time, also going through singer and drummer changes, Antto Tuomainen and Heidi Bergbacka being the bands fresh"men". In between the album process they've been gigging, also supporting Yngwie Malmsteen, and releasing one track singles, which have gotten good rotation on radios. Their 70's-80's classic rock style is easy for anyone to digest, and for the old Feedback members Otto Hallamaa (guitar) and Juha Leppäharju (bass) playing this type of melodic rock came natural. Their earlier bands, including a Deep Purple cover band, weren't far from what they're playing today.

Having reviewed the bands each release since 2006 I still stand behind those good words. MoonMadness is still strong, and since their first single release "Thunder" they're now even stronger. This debut includes all the single songs, and finally after the one track releases "All In Between" shows the bands capability in the whole rock genre. Releasing their demons, or moreso angels, they with ease churn out exceptional classic rock ballads and rockers. "Stroke Of Midnight", "Shot Through The Wing", "Too Much To Lose", the straight shooter "Torn", truely Purple-mannered "Ain't No Angel" and the thundering "Thunder" are the rockers, while the melancholic "Before It's Too Late", a chillingly longful track "Victims Of The Moon" and the closing track, mid-tempo rocker "On The Edge Of Madness" are more or less ballads and/or emotional rides.

Done with fly-high spirit, the finishing touch comes from catchy guitar and keyboard parts and Heidi's inspirationally spirited clean vocals. MM held on to their working mix of modern and warm classic sound, the album was produced by MM and Mikko Saarinen, mixed by Samu Oittinen and mastered by Pauli Saastamoinen. The band never meant to play with too heavy hands, counting more on classic rock influences - play it softly and crown the masterpiece with rocking choruses. Their influences still lie in Deep Purple and Rainbow, keyboardist Turkka Vuorinen together with Hallamaa creating this classic sound. In this age with very heavy and dark metal being forced in our ears everywhere, the cheerfully lively melodies of MoonMadness are in demand. "All In Between" is here to lift up your spirits, all you need to do is take a spin of this, I'll say it again, classic sounding debut.

MoonMadness: All In Between
22.05.2008 11:03
Tamperelainen MoonMadness lähtee tukevalta pohjalta. Bändin jäsenillä on rokkivuosia takana, taustalta löytyy Deep Purple-coveria ja mm. Dreamtale-orkesteri. Bändin rumpukioskin hoitajana ovat toimineet Popeda-kannuttaja Lacu Lahtinen ja Dingostakin tuttu Ari Toikka. MoonMadness on säätänyt kiekon kasaan omin voimin. Albumi ei kuitenkaan kaadu hiomisen puutteeseen tai studioajan niukkuuteen. Bändin 70-ja 80-luvun rokkikentiltä mausteensa keräävä raskasrokki on velkasuhteessa yhtyeille kuten Deep Purple, Rainbow, Whitesnake...Nightwish. Bändi yhdistää 70-luvun orgaanisen raskasrockin parin vuoden takaiseen Nightwish-konseptiin. Paikoin voidaan puhua jopa poppimetallista.

Mutta urkusoundi on lainassa suoraan Deep Purplelta. Jos Ain't No Angel-viisun urkuosasto ei herätä vanhemman polven raskasrokkifanissa kylmiä väreitä niin jo on ihme. Bändin vokaalit hoitaa naisääni nimeltään Heidi Bergbacka. Bändin soittamaan musaan mieltää reilusti enemmän miesenergiaa sisältävät vokaalit. Allekirjoittaneen korvissa parin viisun kohdalla kaipaisi miehekäämpää kiljaisua, toisaalta Heidin ääni on lämmin ja riittävän voimakas - ilman haaraosaston killuttimiakin. Bändin ulosannista tulee viitteitä myös Lullacryn suuntaan. Vahvin on kuitenkin 70-luvun hevanderin kosketus. Kuuntele vaikka tyrmäävä Thunder tai Shot Throught The Wing - jälkimmäinen on lähellä täydellistä hardrock-viisua.

MoonMadness ei peittele taustojaan, soundiosasto on riittävän aitoa mutta ei jääräpäisen vanhakantaista. Bändistä on paha sanoa mitään latteaa, muutama viisu jää hieman varjoon ja rajumpi 70-luvun hehkutus saattaa aiheuttaa vaikkapa Brother Firetriben faneille närästystä. Myös muutama viisu saisi lihaksia riekkuvan kukkopojan vokaaleista. All In Between on jotain vanhaa ja osaltaan tuoretta - eikä tukkaheviäkään ole karvoihin katsomista. MoonMadness johtaa nostalgiahulluuteen.

MOONMADNESS: All In Between [Finnland-Import]
CD-Review vom 15.06.2008
Klassischer Hardrock trifft auf finnischen Melodic Metal - der Muff von ersterem fehlt dabei ebenso wie der übertriebene Kitsch von letzterem. So klingen MOONMADNESS, die mit "All In Between" nun ihr Debüt vorlegen. Die Spielzeit orientiert sich an alten Schallplatten, während die Umsetzung der neun Songs (plus Intro) durch ihre Souveränität und Präzision eher modern wirkt. Der Sound ist fett, direkt und so präsent, wie eigentlich nur finnische Profiaufnahmen klingen. Das Quintett schafft es spielerisch, die unterschiedlichen Elemente zu einem Ganzen zu verbinden. Einzig bei der Speed Metal- Nummer "Thunder" werden die musikalischen Wurzeln aus den 70ern vernachlässigt. Ansonsten gibt es kompakte Hardrock-Songs mit treibendem Rhythmus. Dazu gesellt sich eine weibliche Stimme, die der Musik die nötige Eigenständigkeit verleiht. Leider nutzen sowohl Songwriting als auch Produktion nicht das ganze Potenzial aus. Dafür bieten MOONMADNESS in der zweiten Albumhälfte zur Abwechslung eine hübsche Taktspielerei bei "Too Much Too Lose", rhythmischen Pfeffer bei "Ain´t No Angel" und eine Ballade, die sich irgendwo zwischen dem klassichen DEEP PURPLE-Stil und ruhigeren SONATA ARCTICA-Songs bewegt ("Victims Of The Moon"). Das wirkt ein wenig wie die Kür nach der Pflicht. Denn zu Beginn gibt es mit "Stroke Of Midnight", "Shot Through The Wing", "Torn" und "Before It´s Too Late" gleich vier Rocker, die unterhaltsam sind, aber nicht mit den ultraeingängigen Melodien großer Stadionhits konkurrieren können. MOONMADNESS befinden sich aber auf alle Fälle auf dem richtigen Weg, weil sie sich trauen, die altbewährten Rockformeln mit neuen Ideen anzureichern. Abgerundet wird der gute Eindruck von einem sehr ansprechend gestalteten Inlay.

Bio

MoonMadness was honoured to support the rock legend Deep Purple in Oulu, Finland at Club Teatria on 25th November 2009!

Already before Millennium, the founding MoonMadness members Otto Hallamaa (guitar) and Juha Leppäharju (bass) had already gone together through thick and thin, always maintaining the attitude also during those years when rock could be found almost extinct. The guys started the musical journey in search for new people with new influences. The younger keyboardsman Turkka Vuorinen brought fresh visions still understanding the heritage of rock and when the circle was completed by the dazzling persona of Heidi Bergbacka on vocals, all the persistent work felt worth of it.

MoonMadness adds influences from the classics of the 70’s/80’s heavy rock to current vibes. On the record the determined vision, undertaken with often time consuming hand-made approach, creates a mixture which can take one by surprise as fresh on these overall hyper-produced days.

MoonMadness’ debut album “All In Between” was released in Finland on May 2008, at the same time Tomi Krutsin sat on the drum stool just before embarking on spring tour in rock clubs through major Finnish cities in May, heading for the first festival date at Sauna Open Air and just a week after that supporting Bon Jovi at Olympic Stadium, Helsinki on 16th of June 2008.

While “All In Between”, which soon gathered enthusiastic reviews all over the globe, pays homage to the best traditions of rock: melodies, riffs and the joy of life, it as well tells stories from the dark side of the moon, about searching and finding ways to cope in tides that everyone has to face at times.

Soon after the initial release the album got fairly limited distribution in some European countries and US, but by end of 2008 the imported copies had reached the Japanese shores and the growing interest led to the release of "All In Between" in Japan on SoundHolic label in May 2009. On live front, thus performing regularly on the Finnish soil, the first show abroad took place in October 2009 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

MoonMadness is a streamlined rock band without necessity of comparison or generalising. All the possible and even something impossible containing “moon madness” takes others gently with time, others need only one strike.

“…On the stellar All In Between, an expertly assembled ten song collection of brilliantly executed Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, each track instantly commands the rapt and undivided attention of all parties involved. Wasting little--if any--of the listener’s precious time, the group easily distinguishes themselves from their would-be contemporaries via a razor-sharp array of towering vocals, searing fretwork and deliciously intricate rhythms…”/ BigMusicGeek
