With ”’Break The Chain”, set to release on December 13th, Finnish rocker JJ PINESTONE delivers a high-octane homage to the golden era of ’80s Americn hard rock while crafting a fresh and modern identity. The album’s seven tracks take one on an electrifying journey through themes of perseverance, self-discovery, and the unrelenting spirit of rock ‘n’ roll.
The title track opens with a punch, blending empowering themes with a driving rhythm that embodies the album’s core message: breaking free from repetitive cycles and forging your own path. This sounds like a lost 1987 album taped in California. And it’s darn well made.
Tracks like “Killshot” and “On My Own” showcase Pinestone’s versatility and seamlessly merge heavy riffs with melodic undertones. “Killshot,” the album’s lead single, stands out for its raw energy that combines modern influences with classic rock riffs.
Born and raised in Finland’s vibrant music scene, JJ Pinestone is a modern rock ‘n’ roll powerhouse. Active since 2014, he has made a lasting impact with electrifying performances and dynamic compositions. JJ Pinestone‘s journey has taken him across Europe and Asia, primarily as part of the thrash metal band TAKALAITON. Along the way, he has honed a sound that captures the raw energy and passion of rock ‘n’ roll, blending adrenaline-fueled intensity with authenticity.
Now embarking on a solo career, JJ Pinestone delivers a visceral sonic experience that embodies the enduring spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. His music transcends boundaries, uniting fans worldwide through powerful riffs and heartfelt lyrics, inviting listeners on an exhilarating journey into the heart of the genre.
With its gritty instrumentation and reflective narrative, the ballad-esque “On My Own” carries an emotional weight that evolves into a soaring 80s-inspired solo. In contrast, “Fool’s Anthem” blends an experimental mix of rap-inspired delivery and straightforward rock that is a biting commentary on manipulation and ego.
“The Run” captures the essence of rock freedom by delivering fast-paced melodies that inspire living life with reckless abandon. A relentless number that combines adrenaline-fueled riffs and blistering solos, the energy peaks in “Chiefs of Speed” and cements the album’s position as a celebration of rock’s enduring spirit.
If you’re ready to rock, then JJ Pinestone and ”Break the Chain” are going to deliver 80s-inspired anthems with a modern twist by channeling rock glory. It’s good, well crafted rock n’ roll.
