Finnish Power Metal force METAL DE FACTO return with Land Of The Rising Sun – Part II, the next chapter in their epic tribute to Japan’s history, culture, and mythology. Building on their debut Imperium Romanum (2019) and the first “Rising Sun” album, the band now delivers their most powerful, dynamic, and mature work to date. Produced and mixed by Esa Orjatsalo, the album features a natural, organic sound, massive drums, vibrant guitar work, and a wide cinematic production. Musical influences range from Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius to touches of Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche, and modern heaviness. Guest musician Ryoji Shinomoto (Ruyjin) adds authentic Japanese instruments, bridging Eastern tradition with Western Power Metal. Live shows, tours, and festival appearances are planned for 2026.
