2021 release. Tommi "Tuple" Salmela is a Finnish Heavy Metal singer. Finland is well-known for it's Heavy Metal bands, but there's also a strong Melodic Rock/AOR community. Bands that rely, not only on heavy riffing, but also strong melodies and larger-than-life keyboards. Tuple is a good example of it. He sang in such bands as Tarot, Lazy Bonez and Raskasta Joulua and also performed on stage with many famous singers. "Welcome To Hell" is the follow-up to the highly-acclaimed "Wooden Box" album which had a chart entry in the finnish charts. This time the band takes a look at the dark corners of power, relationships, and takes the listener on a trip to the late 19th century Colorado, to Aspen, which was once upon a time a savage place where miners, gunslingers, Indians, card sharks and prostitutes were an unsettling mix of people during the Silver Rush. Tuple's influences include bands like Journey, Kansas, FM, Uriah Heep, Boston, Chicago, Strangeways, Black Sabbath, Dio and lots of other bands.
