BIOGRAPHY
Brother Firetribe is a hard rock and adult-oriented rock band. They take their name from an insider-joke; a perfect description for their music would be ‘tennis heavy’, and the name of a Finnish former professional tennis player Veli Paloheimo translates into English as ‘Brother Firetribe’. Their first album False Metal was released in 2006, it was later re-issued as Break Out.
Brother Firetribe has released three studio albums and one live DVD. Their latest album Sunbound was released in 2017.
In February 2017 it was announced that Brother Firetribe would appear at Rockingham Festival 2017, this to be held at Nottingham Trent University, UK, between 20th and 22nd October 2017, the band scheduled to appear on Sunday 22nd.
Founding guitarist Emppu Vuorinen stepped down from the band in February 2020, citing lack of time due to his commitments with Nightwish.
Brother Firetribe has released five studio albums and one live DVD. Their latest album, Feel the Burn, was released in 2020, the first to feature new guitarist Roope Riihijärvi.

Heart Full of Fire is the second full-length album from the Finnish rock band Brother Firetribe. It was released by Spinefarm Records in 2008. It was produced and co-engineered by Vuorinen with the whole group having written all the songs except for “Chasing the Angels” which was written by John Lewis Parker (originally written for Mike Reno of Loverboy).
allmusic’s Eduardo Rivadavia gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it “A throwback in every sense of the word.” He went on to say that “The album’s 11 tracks pulse with the same familiar combination of catchy choruses, muscular guitar riffs, anthemic synthesizermelodies, and sparkling clean production values that original genre purveyors like Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner (to name but a few) ruled the airwaves with in the early ’80s, but which haven’t really dented the American charts since Giant’s early-’90s attempts.”
The song “I Am Rock” was originally recorded for a Finnish TV series called “Pelkkää lihaa”.
