Burning Point´s musical style is a unique blend of Classic Metal (Accept, Priest, Black Sabbath, Yngwie Malmsteen) and the unfettered energy of musicality of Children Of Bodom and just the right thing to set the hearts of every metal freak on fire.

Even in nation like Finland, home of numerous musical talents, Pete Ahonen is exceptional. Not just because he is fantastic guitarist, cleverly combining the classical elegance of his great idol Yngwie Malmsteen with the modern sound of Children Of Bodom, but even his unique voice with it´s constant transitions between darker and lighter tones, awakens memories of such as great vocalists as Jeff Scott Soto. So when the constellation of two such brilliant talents unite in a single person, then it is no wonder that the 4-track demo, that he recorded with his friend Jukka Kyrö (guitar) and guest musicians, under the project name Planet Caravan reap loud echoes in the press.

Motivated by this initial success, Pete and Jukka soon found other musicians in their hometown, Oulu. With Jari Kaiponen (drums) and Toni "Jöpe" Kansanoja (bass) on board, they changed their name to BURNING POINT and a short time later settled into the Neo Studios in Oulu with producer Kari Vähäkuopus to record their deput album, "Salvation By Fire". The result was so impressive that Limb Music Products offered the band a contract and secured the rights to the deput. The album was released in October 2001. A subsequent gigs in Finland were to be a total triumph for Burning Point. The concerts with bands such as Thunderstone - were almost sold-out, and numerous fans had to be turned away. Spurred on by this success, the band soon again went into the Neo Studio in May 2002, this time for six weeks, to record their second album, "Feeding The Flames". Kari Vähäkuopus whose enthusiasm and hard work was a huge factor in the success which Burning Point had enjoyed so far, was again chosen to produce the album. Melodic Power Metal with the high level of song writing and a huge portion of talent - that´s what was waiting for the fans on "Feeding The Flames". "We aren´t pyromaniacs", says guitarist Jukka Kyrö, "but fire is a wonderful metaphor for our music, because fire also means a change and a new beginning". However you interpret it. "Feeding The Flames" is currently Scandinavia´s hottest metal export...

PRESS RELEASE OF BURNED DOWN THE ENEMY
BURNING POINT was founded in the Fall of 1999 in Oulu, Finland. After the recordings of a promotional CD, the band managed to get a record deal with a well-know German based metal label where they released the albums “Salvation By Fire” (2001) and “Feeding The Flames” (2003) plus the single “To Hell And Back” (2004) on Poison Arrow Records (Finland/ Sweden only).

Despite massive legal problems which ended up in fightings with lawyers and the loss of their record deal, the band nevertheless managed to get some live slots on some big festivals such as Tuska Metal and Sweden Rock. In 2005, BURNING POINT recorded another promotional CD which was brought to the attention of Metal Heaven in Germany who offered the band a record deal. “Burned Down The Enemy” both marks the end of an era but also the beginning of something new. The “new” BURNING POINT line-up is packed with energy and all band members now are totally standing behind the band. Musically, “Burned Down The Enemy” is by far the most heaviest and aggressive album in the band’s history, altough they haven’t forgotten the great melodies and huge choruses. The album was recorded at Hellgate studios in Oulu, mixed in Tonebox studios and mastered in Finnvox studios.

The limited version of this release will include 3 bonus tracks: “My reign, my fire”, “Heart of gold (Demo)”, “The road to hell”
