Evenin' all!

If some of you are mistaken by thinkin' that Desyre is takin' it easy, think again! We are whipping ourselves with the new album plus there will be cool, cool, cool package of extra-material alongside! Yes, the rumours of Desyre-video are true!

Here's some printscreens for ya'll.

Second video-blog from the recording sessions.

2011-05-28T00:02:00.000-07:00

Rokk on, people!

Indeed we completed the vocal-recordings in week 20. It was a blast, oh yeah!

Our vocal-producer Christian Palin arrived saturday the 15th and we started the sessions about immeditealy. The first song was our lasting-hit-to-be, Dangerous Desyre. Ehh ehh...

After the weekend we continued with the same intensity. Mazi came to the studio after work and left close at night, every night.

No pain, no gain!

Here's some visual treats about our stuff. Until the next time!
(~~Sorry no subtitles~~. ENG SUB!)

First video-blog from the recording sessions.

2011-05-08T10:18:00.000-07:00

Hellow!

This weekend we, indeed, recorded the drum tracks at the studio and nicely it went.
Here are for your enjoyment and amazement a video of Mazi and Jayce goofing around.

We'll be uploading more of these as the project gets ahead. Which in this case is quite often. Next week the recording continues and it's rock'n roll time!

Remember to comment these, and we'll all have a jolly good time! :P

We are also working on English subtitles. Stay tuned, people! Yee!

And we have started the recordings for the second album!

2011-05-07T01:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Jayce went and pounded the drums for 7 songs. Seven's one of our number, right? :P Today he and Mazi hits the studio for the rest of the pieces. Here's two pics from yesterday. Rokk on! More to come.

The latest

Okay, we're extremely sorry for the silence in the blog. But without further ado:

We've written about fifteen new pieces and 10 songs have been chosen for the forthcoming album. Pre-production is in progress. Some delay in the studio timetable, though, but what else is new, right? Ehh, ehh...

Our last disc, Warning Of The Night, had nice Glamtron™-advert in the booklet which is chosen for the working title. It will most likely be THE title. If we decide otherwise, it will be announced no later than one minute before the actual releasing of the album.

Those lucky ones, who've attended our latest gigs, know already the musical direction we've taken (yeah, we've played some of the new songs live). The band wishes to thank you for the positive feedback. So thanx! ^^
We are happy and (some what) relieved that the fans haven't run away in fear for the new heavier stuff.
We assure you that the new direction is as much for ourselves as it is for you, and it is the natural course for Desyre

And then some merch-related stuff:

Our new shirt-design is selling nicely and the stock is running out. If you want one, be sure to send the order in here. Price is as ridiculous as 17e (incl. shipping).

PARTY SONG-VIDEO

Indeed, we shot a pro-level video for the new "Party Song" (check it out [audio only at the moment] on Myspace) in feb. the 2nd at a studio in Helsinki. It's in the edition at the moment. We were lucky and blessed enough to also have two killer photographers present. This was our first official video shoot and here's a bunch of pixx for you.

Mazi | © Reinikainen

The legendary M. Hyyppä and our trusted S. "Konstaapeli" Reinikainen both took numerous photos of our Motley looking crew. Desyre thanks both of you! Rokk on!

The director M. Kiviharju and the man behind the videocam, M. Rekola, did a splendid job.
We started to work at noon by bringing the drums and stuff in.

Director Kiviharju inspected the different view angles while Rekola put the greenscreen together. After the band got its hair and clothes in line, it was time for the test shootings. Every once in while there was time for some posings as well. And that's the name of the game, people!

It was decided at the beginning that no script was necessary at this time.

Mr. Reinikainen's smoke machine was smokin' (as they say) and the feeling was nice.
But that's all, folks, for now! Let the photos do the talking!

The second album..?

2011-01-30T08:15:00.000-08:00

G-r-r-r-reetings!

It's been a while since stuff has been put here. But no worries, it doesn't mean that we're not active in the band. We certainly are. Yes indeed. You betcha! Ehh ehh...

The next album is on the table. There have been a lot of prayers and conversations about it in the Desyre camp. We have certainly enough new glam-pieces for it. Yes sirree! Let's see... At least ten songs will make it to the disc, including a nice intro (again!), maybe even more. And this time almost the whole band are the composers and this ensures some new colors in the music. We'd like to say that it's all in the hand of God, though. He's the Man!

If you haven't yet, go and listen one of the pre-production-demo at the Myspace. It's called Party Song and it's party-time now, people!

Until the next time, here's some pics for you.

Our second time in the Darkside was nice. The private party before our event went little over time, but since they had such a good time, we thought: party on, people! The audience was cool and we were accepted. Maiden performances for few new pieces took place and were liked... as far as we know, hoho! Bad Evolution Theory took the stage after us.

2010-09-29T23:35:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

It's been awhile since something has been posted here.
And here comes the excuses: Summer vacation, rehearsing the new songs, writing some more new songs, designing new clothing for the band, etc.
Those are all valid reasons.. :P Or are they?

Anyway, the band is alive and kickin'! Hopefully we'll be able to soon put something online about our musical progress.

Cool new shirt-design has been created. So far the shipping is only to Finland, but if you want one, please contact me. The price might be a bit higher than 15 € (which contains the shipping in Finland)

Check the pics out here.

Thanx & God bless!

Angelic Warlord reviews WOTN

2010-01-13T15:43:00.000-08:00

Yet another nice review. Here's the direct link.

Desyre - Warning Of The Night

Musical Style: Hair Metal	Produced By: Jayce Prime & Mazi Bee
Record Label: Glam Nation	Country Of Origin: Finland
Year Released: 2009	Artist Website: Desyre
Tracks: 11	Rating: 70%
Running Time: 53:13	Rating: 70%

When the issue of hair metal comes up, it often evokes images of an era gone by. A time when the Los Angeles Sunset Strip scene was in full force and “teased hair” and gaudy clothing and accessories (often in the form of tight denim or leather jeans, spandex, headbands and make-up) was all the range. Musically, it brought a joining of pop influenced catchy hooks, power ballads and shred guitar solos that dominated MTV and FM radio through much of the eighties. Of course, all good things must come to an end, and such was the case when Nirvana and the “Seattle sound” took control of the musical landscape at the start of the decade that followed.

Now, I am sure the last place that you would expect hair metal to launch a comeback would be in Finland, but Helsinki based Desyre stays true to the genre in terms of both its musical leanings and over the top image. Drawing its name from I Thessalonians 5:2, Desyre got its start in 2004 with its first demo, Hair Metal Madness, before following up a year later with its second, Out Of The Blue Into The Red. The group proceeded to go on a year long hiatus only to regroup and begin work on its independently released full length debut from the fall of 2009, Warning Of The Night.

What we have in Desyre is a joining of hair and glam metal, melodic metal and hard rock certain to appeal to fans of Motley Crue, Hanoi Rocks, Dokken, Rage Of Angels, Eternal Ryte, Stryper and a host of others from the same era. The album finds the group delivering an even blend of up-tempo numbers (“Calling” and “The Battle”) and those heading in a mid-paced direction (“Dreams” and “Mr. Hyde In Delite”). An acoustic laced piece is offered (“Undoings Of My Life”) along with a customary ballad (“Ransom”) and “Christmas metal” number (“Yule Night Brightness”).

From a quality standpoint, I would place much of the material here in the good to very good category. Yes, the songs – for the most part – are well constructed but do not always bring immediate hooks that draw you in on first listen, a particular potentially relating to the vocal performance (more on this later). The project is also somewhat inconsistent in that I hit the skip button a couple of times.

The strength of Desyre resides in its musicianship. It all starts with the guitar team of Mazi Bee and Coco Tommy. The two bring some of the best duel lead guitar work you will hear this side of Frank DiCostanzo and Greg Kurtsman (Rage Of Angels). “Dreams” and “Undoings Of My Life” find the two shredding in full force while “Mr. Hyde In Delite” and “No One Knows” reflect a blues based side to their playing. All the while the two decorate the project with their tight as they get melodies and harmonies (kind of like Michael Sweet and Oz Fox of Stryper).

Drummer Jayce Prime puts in a prime performance as well (no pun intended). Along with bassist Mike Seeker, Jayce helps anchor the low end while adding some cool double bass to “Calling” and “The Battle”.

Vocalist Mazi Bee is a bit hit-and-miss. On one hand, his gritty mid-octave vocal flavorings fit well with the music at hand. On the other, he presents with somewhat limited range (his delivery at times can fall a bit flat). So what is the final verdict? While the guy does not lack ability, my feeling is the material here would have stood out further - and gain your attention quicker in the process - with a vocalist along the lines of Jamie Rowe (Tempest), Dale Thompson (Bride) or Dan Mariano (Rage Of Angels). That said, there are those who swear by Mazi’s abilities (I have read several reviewers compare him to a young Vince Neil).

Production values stand out. While the vocals are a bit low in the mix (not a detraction but noticeable nonetheless), everything has its proper place: upfront rhythm guitars, cleanly mixed leads and drums in the needed amount.

Packaging ranks with the best this reviewer has seen on an independent release (right up there with Babylon Mystery Orchestra).

Desyre, a group that believes “glam” stands for God Loves All Mankind, leaves little doubt as to where it stands in terms of its lyrical direction.

Portent keyboards carry the extent of the albums brief (:40) title track.

“Dreams” finds Desyre putting its musicianship on full display, combining galloping riffs in abundance with occasional outbursts of relentless double bass. An extended instrumental interlude finds Mazi Bee and Coco Tommy showing off their adept soloing abilities.

“Can’t Let Go” heads in the heavier direction. With a driving rhythm guitar leading the way, this one navigates its heavy duty verses on the way to a chorus in which harshly delivered backing vocals play a prominent role. An element of contrast is found in the quieter passage just past the halfway point. Spiritual warfare is the subject at hand:

I’m a warrior ready to fight for You
It’s time to raise the Sword

Joined in to fight the good fight
On my way to the One who sent me
Kind of funny how He’s been with me
Right from the start

I have never been a fan of “Christmas metal” songs. It has been my experience that most come across non-descript if not downright corny. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, with Stryper’s “Reason For The Season” being the first to come to mind. “Yule Night Brightness”, unfortunately, trends towards the flat side of things with its disjointed feel and simplistic sing-along chorus. I find the bands attempt at humor at the end to be prosaic.

A faster tempo is maintained on “Calling”, an energetic number highlighted by edgy rhythm guitars and a swiftly moving chorus backed by hard hitting double bass. The pace tempers somewhat for an instrumental section highlighting a tight stretch of guitar harmony. “Calling” proves aptly entitled:

Jesus is callin’ you now
It’s up to you to listen what He has to say
No need to be afraid
The light will never fade
Just come along and see

“Mr. Hyde In Delite” (the bands misspelling and not mine) gets off to a cool start as eerie keyboards and a prominent bass line give way to a hard hitting guitar riff. The quality is maintained the rest of the way, reflected in the songs swarthy – almost bottom heavy – milieu and instrumental excursions reflecting a blues based feel.

The semi ballad “Ransom” brings some emotional touches. Yes, this proves a heartfelt piece with its poignantly charged chorus and occasional left turns into calmer passages sustained by a quietly played guitar. Despite the strength of the music, “Ransom” is one song that might have benefited from a vocalist with a touch more range. Desyre makes a statement of faith on “Ransom”:

He wants to take you in His arms
The Sacrifice He made for you
He never turned His back on you
He let them come and took it all

Ransom – feel the nails rushin’ thru
Ransom – the middleman for us and God

“No One Knows” is another track I find not to cut it. It all revolves around the chorus, which comes across on the awkward side of things. The overall feel I get is lackluster. Otherwise, the song is fine: naturally flowing verses align with instrumental moments heading in bluesy territory.

“Undoings Of My Life” (again, the bands misspelling), in contrast, is one of the albums better tracks. This time around the chorus is well constructed (as a result of its impassioned touches) while an acoustic guitar adds extra layers to its verse sections. A lengthy instrumental section allows Mazi and Coco to again show off their abilities.

“The Battle” brings some riffs that remind me of Eternal Ryte. What we have here is an exciting hard rocker with guts, speed and energy, raging its distance to power drumming and in your face guitars. Double bass returns to round out an instrumental excursion carried by a blistering guitar solo. Desyre again confronts the issue of spiritual warfare:

The battle ceases for the moment
But the war still rages on
We must be strong in God
For the evil forces will attack

I’ve got heaven on my side
Here comes Satan and his troops
Angels verses the demons
Jesus won it all on the Cross

Closing things out is a cover of “Burning In The 3rd Degree”, originally performed in 1984 by Tahnee Cain & Trianglz (from the Terminator soundtrack). Hook driven and catchy, the song reflects traces of keyboards in putting in place a setting bordering on the commercial. More standout lead work puts things over the top. Finally, after several minutes of silence we are led to a Finnish version of “Undoings Of My Life”.

YULE NIGHT BRIGHTNESS
(Music/Lyrics: Mazi Bee - Arrangements: Desyre)

Well...
Special kind of feeling is in the air
All the blues we felt no longer exists

Calm and Holy Spirit is in our hearts
Moonbeams coloring the snow so glistening

All so familiar yet somehow new to me
Almost feels like something from the days of my childhood

Hey!

Yule Night Brightness
The Star showed us the way
Yule Night Brightness
The night the Saviour came
Jesus is the Reason for the Season
Open your heart

Carol of this Christmas is Red and Blue
But the center of it whiter than snow

Warmness of His love fills our heart with joy
Let's bring some magic here and rock the house with this...
Woo-hoo!

Yule Night Brightness
The Star showed us the way
Yule Night Brightness
The night the Saviour came
Jesus is the Reason for the Season
Open your heart

Mazzie's Music Magorium.

Thursday, December 10, 2009 • Desyre "Warning of the Night"

Desyre is a Glam/Hair Metal band from Finland and they already have few demos under their belt. This album is their first full length album, which is released few months ago. The cover art is pretty cheesy and very 80's, but that is to expected. However I think it could have been designed better.

The music is classic Glam Metal sounds and it's actually bit dated to me because there is nothing new being done here. They played the sound really well though and sadly that style is not my thing. I bet fans of 80s Glam Metal and Hair Metal would dig this album a lot but if you are not then don't bother with this. I do have to admit the vocalist is really good and he's very talented. Too bad he's not in something like Power Metal or just straight up Heavy Metal band because I would totally dig that much more and buy the albums.

Best Song: "Can't Let Go" you can really see the vocalist' talent in this song and I actually liked it.

Worst Song: "Yule Night Brightness"-boring and like I said...not my favorite style so I don't like most of the songs off this album.

Score: 5/10-Gave them points for the vocals and being good at what they are doing. If I am a fan of the style then the score would be higher but I'm not.

Kas niin, jengi!

Luovutin ja alan käyttää pelkästään blogspotin bloggeria tästä lähin. Yritin tehdä "niin persoonallisia ja omannäköisiäni blogeja" ja päädyin käyttämään juttuja, jotka vei ihan hulluna aikaa ja yritystä. Hoopo minä!

Joten tässä ollaan ihkauuden Virallisen Desyre-Blogin kanssa, ja täällä pysytään!

Juokaleen massiivisia blogismeja on tulossa ja ennen pitkää löydät täältä tekstejä ja kamaa, siitä miltä meistä on tuntunut tietyt jutut tämän prosessin aikana, jolloin olemme työstäneet ensimmäistä kokopitkää albumiamme, Warning Of The Nightia. ja tietty paljosta muustakin Desyren leirissä tapahtuneista jutuista heitellään juttua tänne.

Jatkamme tuttuun tapaan suomeksi ja englanniksi tänne kirjoittelua. Rokk!
