Since the main songwriter Viljo Rantanen (e.g. Teräsbetoni) founded Burning Winter in 2001, pure heavy metal has been what Burning Winter is all about. Influenced by both traditional heavy rock and German power metal, the band is not trying to reinvent the wheel – they just want to play music that comes from the depths of the heart.

The strong elements of Burning Winter’s straightforward music are driving tempos, catchy choruses, thundering bass drums and strong melodies backed by raw power chords. Burning Winter definitely doesn’t want to sound like modern metal nowadays mostly does. No keyboards, no orchestrations, no over-trigged drum sounds, no computer-like feeling. Real music and real playing!

Through the years there has been also some quiet & passive times, but today’s Burning Winter really saw its new dawn in 2010, when Rantanen and drummer Samu Honko (e.g. Amendfoil) reactivated the band with two new faces: vocalist Samu Jalo and bass player Marko Niemi (e.g. Evil-lyn). A bit later the new line-up was completed with guitar hero Jaakko Lehtinen (e.g. Blind Stare).

New demo CD “Queen Of The Night” continues style started by previous demo “Wings Of Fire”, pointing out that Burning Winter is in the shape made of steel. New lineup had its baptism of fire in live stages during 2012 and will continue to conquer the stages in the future as well!
