Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the genesis of one of Finland's most influential metal exports, this initial offering documents Timo Tolkki stepping into the primary songwriting and vocal roles. Though relatively unpolished compared to their later symphonic mastery, 'Fright Night' presents the embryonic blueprints of their high-speed, classically-informed sound.
