Founded in 2009 in Helsinki, Finland, Stråle has been a consistent and focus driven band since the beginning. In the later years the band have geared up and are ready to meet the European audience.

The debut album “Bourbon Souls” (FDA Records, 2020) was mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios and it gave the band great reviews from all over Europe and also a deal with the German booking agency Redlionmusic.

The music has since the beginning been melody driven alternative Metal with the bittersweet taste of Finnish melancholy.

THE HEART YOU TORE APART 
The first single from the upcoming new album is the first page of a new chapter in the history of Stråle. The song was already recorded without vocals when Daniel came onboard to add his flavour.

“When I was deciding to join the band I listened through their songs and some really stood out with amazing melodies, CONTROL and FAITHLESS for example. When the guys presented this song to me it soon become clear that that magic was intact and improved”. After adding the new vocal flavour to the mix, it became clear that this was the perfect first single.

The song as well as the upcoming full length album is recorded by Teemu Aalto (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum) and vocals are recorded by Jani Autero. Album is mixed & mastered by Grammy award nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Volbeat, Katatonia).
