Finnish power metal outfit Metal De Facto returns with "Land Of The Rising Sun - Part II", the next chapter of their epic homage to the history, culture and mythology of Japan. Building on their debut "Imperium Romanum" (2019) and the first "Rising Sun" album, the band now delivers their most powerful, dynamic and mature work to date. Produced and mixed by Esa Orjatsalo, the album is characterized by a natural, organic sound, massive drums, lively guitar work and a broad, cinematic production. The musical influences range from Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius to echoes of Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche and modern heaviness. Guest musician Ryoji Shinomoto (Ruyjin) contributes authentic Japanese instruments and thus builds a bridge between Eastern tradition and Western power metal.
