Finnish Teen Prodigies: Sturm Und Drang’s ‘Learning To Rock’ (BVCP-21569)
Today’s entry spotlights the impressive debut album from the Finnish heavy metal sensation, Sturm Und Drang. We are looking at the 2007 Japanese pressing of “Learning To Rock,” released on BMG Japan with the catalog number BVCP-21569. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Released on November 21, 2007, this album made waves in the metal community because the band members were remarkably young at the time—average age 15 to 16—yet played with the skill and confidence of seasoned veterans. Hailing from Vaasa, Finland, the quintet delivered a polished blend of melodic heavy metal and hard rock that belied their youth.
The album features a collection of strong, catchy tracks like the hit single “Rising Son,” the opening rocker “Broken,” and the dramatic “The Raven.” The ballad “Miseria” showcases a different side of their songwriting, while tracks like “Indian” display their technical proficiency. The vocals, while youthful, are praised for their power and fit the melodic speed metal style perfectly.
For collectors, this Japanese edition is the definitive version to own. It is packed with exclusive bonus content not found on the standard release. The audio bonus tracks include a special version of “Forever” featuring backing vocals by Udo Dirkschneider (Accept, U.D.O.), a cover of the Judas Priest classic “Breaking The Law,” and an acoustic version of “Rising Son.” Furthermore, this is an Enhanced CD that includes the music video for “Rising Son.”
BVCP-21569 is a comprehensive package capturing the explosive start of these Nordic metal prodigies, offering a fresh and energetic take on the heavy metal tradition.
