Kenziner the last horizon7/5/2023 Jarno was also looking for other musical opportunities and founded Virtuocity in year 2000. Soon after the release of Prophecies, Jarno broke up with the label and Kenziner was hibernated for years to come. (Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, etc.) This time also another famous Finnish musician, Mikko Härkin (ex-Sonata Arctica, Wingdom) was featured in the studio line-up, alongside with Stephen Frederick and Brian Harris. The Prophecies was released all over the world and drew more and more attention to Keskinen’s neoclassical style in metal media. Jarno recorded his second album for Leviathan Records in 1999. Kenziner’s debut album, Timescape, was born and Jarno rose to fame as a master of neoclassical metal guitar. Stephen Frederick (vocals) and Dennis Lesh (drums) joined to help Keskinen at the studio. All the guitars, bass and keyboards were recorded by Jarno. One day Jarno got a phone call from the USA: Chastain was offering Jarno a record deal and soon Jarno was on the plane, on his way to record his first album at Chastain’s studio. KENZINER also show a ballad-like atmosphere twice, but otherwise there is melodic Power Metal to be enjoyed by first-class musicians who master their craft and show their skills.įor years, Jarno Keskinen had been in contact with David Chastain of Leviathan Records, sending him his songs on c-cassettes. The extremely balanced production also brings out the strong vocals and, in total, leaves nothing to be desired. The classic keyboard sounds as well as the guitars in Power Metal style, which can be heard immediately. But in 2020 KENZINER want to know it again and they present their fourth, huge new work. Since then, mastermind/guitarist Jarno Keskinen had to involve a new singer, Peter "Zinny" Zalesky. After their two classic albums in 19, it took them a few years to return to the scene in 2014 with their third album. The Finns were one of the leading representatives of the Neo-Classical style with a good dose of Power Metal. They were among the spearheads of heavy metal in the 1990s: KENZINER. The pre-order phase will start on June 12th, 2020 in Pure Steel Webshop. The release date of the of the new album " Phoenix" by the Neoclassic/Prog Power Metal Band KENZINER from Finland on CD via PURE STEEL RECORDS is June 26th, 2020.
