HB Update- New Singer
- Thread starter Dominick_7

Thanks for the post. I really like HB although I know the chances of them ever touring America are quite slim. Hopefully the new singer will work out. I'll be watching (and listening).
I've dug what I've heard from HB, but they certainly could get better. Hopefully the new singer raises the quality.
You're welcome. Me too, yea incredibly worse chances than Avantasia coming to the US I figure
She has a good voice, but her past stuff was only dance music. Think she might be able to do pull it off, but what concerns me is why they dumped most of the songs on their cd.. because she can't do them? They don't sound right for her voice? Also wondering why she really left the band Will be interesting to see where they'll go next.

From Wikipedia:
"HB is a Christian symphonic metal band, formed in Forssa, Finland in 2002. They recorded a demo, four albums in the Finnish language with English versions for three of them, two singles, and a live DVD filmed at the Festival Maata Näkyvissä (2006).
Concerning the origin and meaning of the initials HB, Johanna Aaltonen said at the official website of the band: "Actually the initials H and B don't really stand for anything. We once had a competition on our webpage, where people could suggest different meanings for the two letters. Holy Bible was one of the suggestions."
Musically the band is like Nightwish, symphonic metal in style with powerful sounds of the guitars, bass and drums, fused with characteristic instruments of classical music, choir and even a few verses of lyric singing. The band is also characterized by the strong spiritual content in their Christocentric lyrics."

Indeed. Hopefully they were just lowering expectations with how they shared the news.
