Adastra from Finland
Adastra is a heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Influenced by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio and many others. I’d say their music sounds a bit like Iron Maiden but with faster and lighter riffs and it has touch of Dio, that was what I heard when I first listen to them.
The name Ad astra is a latin phrase meaning ”to the stars” and thats what these guys are aiming for.
They have released four albums, the latest of them ”Deadlock” came out in 2015. Prior to that is ”The Last Sunset” out in 2007, ”Death or Domination” out 2008 and ”Corroder of Minds” that came out in 2012.
My favorite Adastra songs to check out would be: ”Corroder of minds” from the album with the same title, ”Only live at night” and ”Bring me back on track” both from their latest album ”Deadlock”.
By the way, if you get this album as a cd you’ll also get the bonus track ”Nuns have no fun” and also because cd’s are more fun than just download.
Get more information about the band on their own page: www.adastracave.net, where you also can buy their music and read their Studio blog and get to know these guys.
