To Die For started in 1999 coming out of Finland (Kuovola) releasing their first CD in 2000 "All Eternity", followed by 2001 "Epilogue", 2003 "Jaded" and now in 2005 they just released their fourth CD titled "IV" on Spinefarm Records and it just rocks. "Autumn Forever" starts with slow beat drums and short keyboards to a song pushing power to its limits. By the first notes, you first think, “What is this? Has the band gone new wave?” Forget it! "Autumn Forever" could make it to any AOR radio station it's just a killer tune. They also do a rendition of the U2 song "New Year's Day" and they do it justice; adding a more hard melodic sound with added keyboards. I really liked it. The production is great throughout the CD, which will not let music fans down. Most of the tracks on the CD have a good melody and catchy hooks. No matter who picks up "VI", they will find something to like. You get a blend of Hard Rock, AOR, and Gothic Music. Let's get this band some airplay. TDF starts their tour in Moscow, Russia March 13th and European dates to follow until April 13th ending in France. I hope that they will tour the US .
