Cain's
Offering is the brainchild of Finnish guitarist/songwriter Jani
Liimatainen (ex-Sonata Arctica, ex-Altaria). In
2007 Jani parted ways with Finnish power metal act Sonata Arctica, a
band he since 1996 had been with as one of the founding members. With
his departure from one of Finland's biggest music exports in recent
years, all eyes are upon his newest project, Cain's Offering. Drawing
its musical influence from both the classic Hard Rock scene, the
fast-paced European power
metal and a very modern heavy metal sound, Cain's Offering is, just as
expected, a perfect example of today's living and breathing Finnish
music scene. Joining
Jani in his quest for world domination - or rapid success, whichever
comes first – are vocalist Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius, Kotipelto),
keyboardist Mikko Harkin (Solution.45, Mehida, ex-Sonata Arctica, ex-Wingdom,
ex-Kenziner), bassist Jukka Koskinen (Norther, Wintersun) and drummer
Jani "Hurtsi" Hurula (Paul Di'Anno). Yes, this is a
tour-de-force of who's-who in the Finnish heavy metal scene, and yes,
this does sound
like a wet dream come through for all fans of melodic metal. And guess
what – the product exceeds all expectations! With
the debut album, "Gather The Faithful", ready for a summer
2009 release, Cain's Offering waste no time, and backed up by such a
strong record label as Frontiers Records and their management
Intromental, there's no doubt that 2009 will be the year where the
Finnish metal scene finds a new hot exponent. Lookout for Cain’s Offering! |
