CD/DVD Releases: Trusties Spin The ''Human Wheel''

Posted on Friday, September 18 @ 07:19:30 UTC by nightowl

?How can this band be so damn good while managing to stay literally unknown?" Trusties have always followed their own path ignoring various trends happening in the world of music around them. As years have gone by, the original acoustic prog-folk trio has turned into an electrified five-piece, and this has brought darker and heavier elements more and more to the foreground in their music.

Their 3rd effort Human Wheel was released in June 2009, and it has been received with praise by the international press. Like its predecessors, the album has been created without sparing blood, sweat or tears over the course of 6 years. The end result is a natural mix of diverse musical styles, virtuosic musicianship, pristine soundscapes and most of all great song-writing. The guitarist/composer/producer Oikku Oikarinen describes the genre of their music as "modern guitar-oriented progressive rock." He also says that its not easy to say which artists their sound might resemble to, but mentions that fans of Rush, Dream Theater and System of a Down, might very well go crazy by hearing the music of Trusties.



Although the band in its current line-up is quite heavy and bombastic, their background as a compact and flexible light-weight unit comes through nicely in the live settings. The communication with the audience and between the musicians works well, which guarantees that their performances will always be unique and contain humour, surprises and sensitivity of expression. The band just can?t wait to get back on the road again after spending all this time in the studio.
