Finnish melodic rockers HUMAN TEMPLE return with \u201cHalfway to Heartache\u201d, their third album. Influenced by the likes of DOKKEN and KISS vocalist Janne Hurme and drummer Petri Lehto formed a band. In 1995 Janne was a solo artist in the pop genre and with some success as well. In 1998 history repeated itself as the duo once more joined forces, resulting in \u201cInsomnia\u201d in 2004. 2010 saw the light of \u201cMurder of Crows\u201d and now in 2012 we get this new album. <\/p>\n
The material in general has an easiness with melody that can be compared to EUROPE in their first heyday. They are not overly light either, which I find positive. The absolute highlight to me is the sticky \u201cAlmost There\u201d. The refrain lingers and the keyboards take care of the final touches. Songs like \u201cI Will Follow\u201d, \u201cBleeding Through\u201d, which has a riff achin to \u201cDon\u00b4t Blame Me\u201d, \u201cLike a Beat of a Heart\u201d where guitar and keyboard are intertwined, \u201cRun Away\u201d with its fine chorus and the lengthy titled \u201cSome Things Are Never Long Time Ago\u201d, perhaps the strongest hit material on offer, are also strong and almost genuinely stand out material. It\u00b4s only when they border on US elevator music, as in \u201cBecause of You\u201d, that I get a bit bored. I also note the penalty shot of a cover of \u201cLittle Lies\u201d by FLEETWOOD MAC. All in all this is a solid melodic hard rock album, and you can certainly do much worse in 2012!<\/p>\n
