TOP 20 CRITICS SAID:

 

1)

”The best thing is that this band doesn’t just try to benefit from being fashionably politically aware but actually do and write about things that others just talk just about...Lines of Leaving could become the nation's top act in the melodramatic genre or even internationally...”– Desibeli.net

 

2)

"Finland once again is making a move to bring the best of sounds to the music world with LINES OF LEAVING. Kicking some major ass… "   "Pure delight with mesmerizing technical production that only can be had by a major label. This is one helluva debut release... "- Rockeyez.com (USA)

 

3)

“Europe’s answer to System Of A Down unleash an eccentric masterpiece… they’ve crafted a record that is rammed full of incredible songs. Lines Of Leaving deserve to be bigger than the Easter Bunny… One hell of a record that should be shifting units faster than George Bush can come up with excuses…- Subba Cultcha (UK)

 

4)

“Contains a whole lot of incredibly beautiful & awesome melodies…On their way to almost sheer Perfection…!” - Rokkizine.com

 

5)

"The band has released the album on their own label, but it sounds and looks like a major label release, with excellent production and superb packaging." –RockUnited.com

 

6)

”Their playing sounds incredibly flawless and pure. You could definitely call this a very successful debut album. I admire their independent style which leaves no room for speculations with these riffs and the joy of making. I think we're going to hear a lot from this band, cause the album is lyrically very up to date and surely will find it's way to the hearts of the teenagers.” – Chambers Magazine

 

7)

“ The band really knows how to write songs and the album as a whole compares to the world class ones. Actually Battle for Humanity leaves a lot those albums clearly behind. The music sounds very fresh, interesting and inspiring. It's kind of ironic that a band makes a truly world class comparable album and releases it on their own indie label from Tampere, Finland.” – Imperiumi.net

 

8)

”This album is a combination of the last years most versatile bands” -Soundi

 

9)

”In Lines of Leaving you can hear the will of making music that’s never been made in Finland. Battle for Humanity is a stunningly well thought of and ready package for a debut album ” – Mesta.net

 

10)

” …combines skillfully the British sound & dark emoish sound. The speaking up lyrics and fierce crossover rock promise us great things to look out for from this band. "- Tuhma.net

 

11)

”Awesome melodies and the kind of melodrama that really gets to you...Lines of Leaving is a very promising band to look out for” -Noise.fi”

 

12)

“We will hear from these guys. The skills, looks and live energy of this band made quite an impact.” –Aamulehti

 

13)

“Quite a deep, philosophical album, both lyrically and musically. The album continues to barge its way through your psyche until the very last chord has sounded. They even slow it down at the end, probably so the transition back to normality is less traumatic. Not for the faint hearted.” – Planettrash.com (UK)

 

14)

”Competent production and playing.” – Rumba

 

15)

”Great songs and a fresh sound!” –Svante Forsbäck ("The number one" mastering engineer in Finland)

18)

”There's a plenty of suprises and personality in these songs and you can never know what happens next: awesome. They are still playing perfectly. And
the vocals have a lot of personality too.” – Stalkermusic

 

19)

”This band is very good in what they do and reflect a huge amount of energy in their music and this really works addictive. Most of the songs on Battle for Humanity are suitable for airplay on the radio since they are catchy with nice melodies and a melodramatic touch. Songs like ‘Hearts in Overdrive’ or ‘Sacrifice for a Greater Cause’ are even potential world hits.”– Gothtronic (NETHERLANDS)

 

20)

”I am impressed and it definitely made me think.” – Tempelores (GERMANY)

BIOGRAPHY

Playing catchy, melodic, politically aware and melodramatic rock, with ferocious guitar riffs, Lines of Leaving has been stirring the Finnish music scene since the band was formed in the end of 2003. The members decided to create a band that would feed its musical hunger from wretchedness and distress of the world and the crimes against humanity. The band doesn’t fit easily into just one genre thus it combines styles from guitar-based rock to punk and heavy metal even to ethnic music, never underestimating the listener. With every song they try to raise awareness and provide something new and interesting to the schooled and boring “mass-production”-music industry with nothing to say. In their music they will ask questions and give answers that others won’t dare to ask.

 

Although several Finnish record labels showed interest in the band, they founded their own independent record label called Independent Sounds in January 2007 who released their debut album Battle for Humanity in June 2007. Lines of Leaving have two clear and distinguished objects:

1) To make people more aware of the alarming problems that others usually keep quiet about, and

2) To get people to empathize for the weak and powerless who can't stick up for their rights on their own so that the world wouldn't become a place where survival of fittest (equals wealthiest these days) would take a place among humans too.

 

In order to achieve these goals Lines of Leaving (Timo Nyman- Vocals, guitar & song writing, Janne V. Väänänen-guitar, Juho-Heikki Visakoivu-bass and Jens Källström-drums) have already e.g. organized a campaign for the Finnish Homeless, taken part in multiple benefit concerts and perhaps most importantly are constantly giving information about the much avoided problems their song tell about on their homepage with the help of their controversial and speaking up products like the Anti-Bush t-shirt…

 

”The best thing is that this band doesn’t just try to benefit from being fashionably politically aware but actually do and write about things that others just talk just about.” – VALPASVUO, DESIBELI.NET
