23-01-2012 Dreamtale back in business!

Members of Dreamtale have returned from their Xmas-holidays and the guys are now working on new material for the 6th Dreamtale-album. They are planning to start recordings in August-September. The band has a general vision of the theme of the album and its name is already decided, though we will not tell you yet! About 4-5 songs are "under construction" at the moment and they sound pretty great already...

The band's last effort, Epsilon, was voted among Top5 metal-albums by two journalists from the Finnish webzine imperiumi.net. Thanks also to fans for support! Here you can see their listings (in Finnish).

Here's a fresh interview with Erkki by a Spanish webzine, Queens Of Steel, where he tells about what's going on!

Dreamtale on palannut joulutauolta tuoreilla voimilla ladattuna. Yhtye on aloittanut kuudennen pitkäsoittonsa työstämisen Tampreella. Levyn nimi ja peruskonsepti on jo hahmoteltuna, mutta niistä uutisoidaan myöhemmin. Nauhoitukset on tarkoitus aloittaa elo-syyskuussa. Sillä välin yhtyeen edellinen levy Epsilon on päässyt kahden imperiumi.net:in toimittajan vuoden albumien joukkoon! Linkki tässä. Luettavissa myös tuore haastattelu espanjalaisen Queens Of Steel webzinen sivustoilla, jossa laulaja Erkki Seppänen kertoo Dreamtalen kuulumisista.

17-11-2011 Dreamtale to play with Stratovarius again!

Dreamtale were chosen to warmup for Stratovarius at Club Teatria in Oulu on November 25th. The band is very happy and excited about this event, as the last time they played with Stratovarius was two years ago in Tampere. The band will play a 45-minute set before the headliners.

Due to technical issues concerning a DVD-production at Pakkahuone, Tampere, Dreamtale will not be able to perform in this event, despite some information to the contrary. While this is unfortunate for our fans in Tampere, we are sure to see them again soon at another concert. Hopefully next time we will see both bands in all of the Finnish shows!

24-10-2011 New Dreamtale T-shirts available to order.

As you've requested, we have made new T-shirts which are now available to order in the shop. There are two models, both of which are in stock in all sizes. The shirts will also be on sale at Dreamtale's shows, including the upcoming two shows in Helsinki (29th October and 1st December). Enjoy!

Toivotut ja odotetut uudet paidat ovat nyt saatavilla Dreamtalen verkkokaupasta. Kaksi uutta mallia varastossa ja kaikki koot toistaiseksi löytyy. Paidat myynnissä myös tulevilla Helsingin keikoilla (29.10. ja 1.12.)

22-08-2011 Dreamtale visits Russia for the first time!

We are pleased to announce that Dreamtale will play two shows in Russia with Korpiklaani. The two shows will take place in St. Petersburg and Moscow on 7th and 8th of October. We hope to see all our Russian fans and play some great tunes from all Dreamtale-albums!

Dreamtale matkustaa ensimmäistä kertaa Venäjälle Korpiklaanin kanssa. Konsertit Pietarissa ja Moskovassa 7.-8.10.

04-08-2011 Summer holidays are over

Dreamtale members have been mostly enjoying a little break from Tale-activities. Some of us have been spending time in our summer cottages, away from it all. Some have been cooking gourmet dinners for people in Pori Jazz Festival. Erkki and Seppo visited Pärnu, Estonia on their holiday. Erkki played some shows with his other bands, including acoustic shows. Now the summer is coming to an end and it's time to shift attention more to Dreamtale again!

The band has a few shows scheduled for Autumn. Some of them can already be seen in the gigs-section, but we will keep on updating it, as soon as some dates are confirmed. In addition to that, we are slowly starting to think about the next, 6th, Dreamtale-album. We will start working on it very soon, so keep on checking for information!

See you in the shows!

Kesälomien jälkeen bändi suuntautuu taas kohti uusia suunnitelmia! Syksylle löytyy jo muutama keikkabuukkaus, mutta suurin huomio tulee olemaan seuraavan, kuudennen Dreamtale-albumin työstämisessä, josta lisätietoja annetaan pikku hiljaa tällä sivustolla... Nähdään keikoilla!

02-06-2011 Shows continue, injuries accumulate!

Dreamtale have now played most of their club shows for Epsilon. One show is this Friday (June 3rd) in Pori and then it is time to look forward to NKM Metalfest and Tohisrock-festival! The show is Oulu last weekend was difficult, as our northern shows have traditionally been. Last year, Erkki hurt his back during the gig in Oulu and had to go to the hospital. This time our lead guitarist, Seppo, injured his leg in the Hevimesta-show. Apparently, he jumped too high... It was a trip to the hospital for him as well. But the show must go on and this weekend the band is back in business!

Concerning the show in Pori, Dreamtale's drummer Petteri Rosenbom will be interviewed by the local radio station, Radio Pori. Be sure to check out what song they play and see you soon!

Suurin osa Epsilonin klubikeikoista on takana. Bändin Oulun keikkojen onnettomuusperinne sai jatkoa. Viime vuoden Seppäsen selkäongelmiin lisättiin nyt myös Kolehmaisen sairaalareissu lavalla hajonneen jalan vuoksi. Laulujen lunnaita makseltiin siis taas... Mutta viikonloppuna ollaan taas lavalla Porissa, jonka tiimoilta perjantaina tiedossa rumpali Rosenbomin haastattelua Radio Porissa!

29-04-2011 Release delayed by one week

Dear fans, Dreamtale are sorry to have to announce that the official release date of Epsilon in Finland has been rescheduled for Wed 11th of May. This delay is due to a problem with the shipping company that delivers the discs to our distributor. Unfortunately, we cannot help the situation. The release party will stiil take place, as scheduled, on May 6th in Bar Sputnik, Tampere. See you there!

Epsilonin julkaisu myöhästyy valitettavasti viikolla kuljetusyhtiössä tapahtuneen erehdyksen takia. Julkaisupäivämäärä on siis 11. toukokuuta. Julkkarikeikka Tampereen Sputnikissa on edelleen perjantaina, 6. toukokuuta. Nähdään siellä!

26-04-2011 Second last sample before release!

18-4-2011 8th sample, only two more to go!

8th sample from Epsilon is called Mortal Games.

Mortal Games is a new, powerful Dreamtale-track that addresses many current issues in society - a very topical song after yesterday's elections in Finland! Take it in, friends!

11-4-2011 7th Epsilon sample - Strangers' Ode

The next sample from Epsilon is Strangers' Ode which was also one of the three songs on Angel Of Light promo-CD.

Strangers' Ode probes the many sides of touring life and seeking the truth. A powerful track and a live favourite from last year!

Seuraava näyte Epsilonilta on Strangers' Ode, joka oli myös yksi Angel Of Light promo-CD:n kolmesta kappaleesta.

Strangers' Ode käsittelee kirtue-elämän monia puolia, sekä totuuden etsintää. Viime vuoden vahva livesuosikki keikoilta! Kuuntele nyt!

4-4-2011 6th sample from the upcoming album & photos

The next sample comes from a song already played during last year's shows: Reasons Revealed. It's the only ballad on Epsilon and a focal song for the loose thematic content of the album. The dreamer continues to struggle with the forces surrounding him and discovers something about the spirits that drive him.

We have also made available some fresh promotional photos of Dreamtale here. Enjoy!

Kuudes näytepala levyltä, "Reasons Revealed", on albumin ainoa balladi. Levyn teemojen kannalta tärkeässä biisissä uneksija kamppailee edelleen ristiriitaisten mahtien keskellä, sekä saa selville jotain tärkeää häntä ajavista voimista. Tuoreita promokuvia on myös tarjolla täällä.

28-3-2011 5th Epsilon sample - Fly Away

Fly Away, the fifth sample from forthcoming album has been published. A song about Eastern nostalgia and governments that screw over the people.

Fly Away, viides näyte tulevalta abumilta julkaistu. Kappale kertoo idän nostalgiasta ja kansalaisten kohtalosta epävakaan hallinnon alla.
