FALCON TRAILS set release date for METALVILLE debut album – features members of LIONHEART, SHYToday, Metalville Records announces July 19th as the international release date for Falcon Trails’ debut studio album, Coming Home.
Falcon Trails is a vintage classic rock-styled three-piece band featuring Finnish composer / lyricist Mika Grönholm, UK-based vocalist Lee Small, and Finnish drummer & percussionist Tom Rask.
Their music sails you deep into the ’70s with a distinct vintage rock, soul, and funk style. Lee and Mika share the same influences in music and in various bands from that period, building the foundation for Falcon Trails.
“It was the music we first heard as children, and it stayed in our hearts and minds forever,” Mika says. “We heard and saw those bigtime bands making their mark in our generation, and in our own way, we respect that spirit with our music. We take our hats off to those great acts such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Pink Floyd, and many others.”
All the music from Coming Home was written and recorded around the years 2018 and 2019 and was completed in 2024, but the material has never been released until now.
Mika and Lee are no strangers to the music industry. Both have recorded albums and have been involved in many different music projects before, showing their natural musical understanding.
Mika continues: “When we were writing the tracks for the album, I did rough vocal-guide melodies. Then I sent those on to Lee, and he changes what he needs to suit him and his very soulful vocal style, lifting the songs and taking them to where I wanted them to be. Both of us having such a similar style and thinking makes the creative process very enjoyable and easy.” Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
