Royal Truck

Heavy metal, hard rock, or something played with a heavy hand and attitude...??
Well, you don´t need to try to put this band into any of those categories, because this shit makes you sweat anyway. Nothing but the music itself - the songs, the style and the adult (?) sense of humour is important. These gentlemen want to do it the right way and when they climb this tree, the ass is not going in first.
Royal Truck was born in the summer of 2001 to satisfy the burning need and desire to write and to play music... you know that feeling, the one that doesn´t go away but gets stronger year after year. These guys are closer to James Hetfield´s than Justin Timberlake´s age, so playing music has been a big part of their lives since the early 1980´s. Each member obviously has a past of his own with gigs and other bands, including names like Mindfield, Purity, Spoon, Battagia and Iconofear.
When it comes to describing the music, it is up to you, dear listener to do it. The influences behind the members are ranging from old kings like Deep Purple and Rainbow to Thin Lizzy and Motörhead and the latest growlers such as Pantera and Zakk Wylde. The first demo, recorded in July 2003, received positive feedback through the line and it was accompanied by the next one, which was recorded in June 2004. The band is ready and ripe to be taken with their own material covering already an hour.
Royal Truck’s crew went through changes in the beginning of the year 2005. New drummer Timo stepped in, and soon a genuine heavy metal legend from Oulu , JJ Hjelt, joined the group as a bass guitarist. Current line-up is thus:
Marko Lehtinen – Vocals & Guitars
Roope Ohert – Guitars
Timo Aspiala – Drums
JJ Hjelt – Bass
Royal Truck has been rehearsing like hell, so the band is in a great shape now! And the evidence, their “child” of the year 2006: The Feast of the Damned.
Cheers!
