Brother Firetribe

Brother Firetribe is a Finnish hard rock band. They take their name from a direct English translation of the name of the former professional tennis player Veli Paloheimo. The name is a reference to an in-joke, where the perfect description for their music is ‘tennis heavy metal’. Their first album False Metal was released in 2006, it was later re-issued as Break Out. In 2009 Brother Firetribe joined PAIN on the "European Cynic Campaign 2009" tour. PAIN also toured with Nightwish, and Emppu Vuorinen, one of Nightwish's founding members, was the guitarist for Brother Firetribe. The band appeared at Nottingham Trent University's Rockingham Festival 2017. 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.
