The German melodic power metal band Freedom Call was founded in 1998 by singer/guitarist Chris Bay and quickly became a fixture in the genre. With their infectious blend of epic melodies, powerful riffs, and undeniably optimistic energy, they are known as the happiest metal band in the world. Since their debut album, Stairway to Fairyland (1999), the band has built a loyal global fan base and has countless albums and tours to their name. Their latest album, Silver Romance, is a colorful and varied record that contains all the typical Freedom Call elements: big choruses, energetic guitar work and catchy lyrics.
