Hard Rock Rising Competition

The Hard Rock Rising Competition is an event that is organised world wide by Hard Rock Café. Super great underground rock bands are battling against each other in every Hard Rock Café. The winner from the finals from each city are competing later on international. Yesterday night Helsinki, Finland had the second Heat of bands. Amazing judges were following the show: Andy McCoy (Hanoi Rocks/Grease Helmet), Pasi (The 69 Eyes), Tuukka Hämäläinen (Rytmi Magazine) and Niko (Amorphis). Hosted was the event by Nathan (Sonic Syndicate).

That night it was Face of God´s turn to show where they belong. An amazing audience engagement and the perfect rock´n´roll mood were presented in a full house. Face of God got supported by lot of fans that night. And for that a big thank you too all of you. The sound and the dynamic live show impressed the judges a lot. Andy McCoy comment later on: "In that band i see the future, the others are going under".

Face of God had strong competitors with Raaka-Aine and Freddi Waselius, but they definitely staged the best show of that night. Also just positive comments from the judges came up, Pasi 69 eyes was impressed of the young and talented bass player Benjamin and complimented him. Andy McCoy loved the frontman Leo Stillmann. And also Oscar did a great job with playing drums. Face of God they are just a trio but they are cooperating so perfectly with each other on stage that they sound like there are still 2 people more with them. The audience was impressed of the show, the fans enjoyed dancing and singing their favourite lyrics and a big applaus went to the judges for their positive comments. A very great night and the announcement later on that Face of God not just won the competition, but that they scored also very high against the other bands was the best compliment of the whole night.

There was a reason to celebrate.
