history
Brother Firetribe was founded in 2002 as False Metal . The band later changed the name to Brother Firetribe. The background of the band name is a play on words. The name of the Finnish tennis player Veli Paloheimo literally translates into English as Brother Firetribe.
On June 21, 2006 the debut album False Metal was released via Spinefarm Records . The album title is an allusion to the Manowar slogan "Death to False Metal". With One Single Breath and I'm on Fire , two singles were released.
Her second studio album, in which the Swedish singer Anette Olzon (ex- Nightwish ) appears as a guest singer on a song, was released on April 17, 2008.
After the album Diamond in the Firepit in 2014, the single Taste of a Champion was released at the end of 2016 , which was followed in March 2017 by the accompanying album "Sunbound". With this album, the band went on a club tour through Europe in 2017.
In February 2020, Emppu Vuorinen got out of his main band Nightwish and was replaced by Roope Riihijärvi.
