Desyre Is a Glam Power Metal band that formed in Finland back in 1998. We're talking big hair spandex style metal from the 1980's not unlike Holy Soldier, Stryper, & Crossrock. What's not to love about Glam Metal with its catchy hooks, over-the-top costumes, and all combined with a radio friendly sound. Finland's Desyre is the latest band to take on the Hair Metal world and make their mark on the christian Metal industry.
In 2004 Desyre released an independent 5-track demo titled 'Hair Metal Madness' which included tracks "The Battle", "What Is Love", "He'll Be There", "Undoings Of My Life", and "Jesus". Then in 2005 the band released another independent 3-track demo titled 'Out Of The Blue/Into The Red' which included tracks "The Creation", "Line Of Fire", and "Friendly Face".

In 2009 Desyre stepped onto the Metal scene with the release of their debut full-length album 'Warning Of The Night' on Glam Nation Records. Their debut release was a good beginning for the band with decent production however, the vocals are a bit low in the mix. The band's lineup for 'Warning Of The Night' was comprised of Mazi Bee-Lead Vocals & Guitars, Coco Tommy-Guitars, Mike Seeker-Bass, Jayce Prime-Drums, and Mikaela Akrenius-Synthesizers.
In 2013 Desyre released their follow-up sophomore album simply titled 'Glamtron' on Glam Nation Records.
The 80's inspired cover art of their 2013 release really captures what the album is all about. With the guitar work of Mazi Danger Bee and Coco Tommy, the band really sounds like they have been at this for a long time. At times the guitars are smok'n fast breaking off to only crank up again giving punch to the tempo. The duo guitar onslaught of Mazi and Coco, doesn't let up from beginning to end helping to keep thing energetic and interesting. If you like your Metal burger smok'n hot with a side order of Molten Metal then there's plenty to love here. Were talking the kind of guitar work that makes you want to grab your favorite air guitar and get to business. The galloping guitar work stands out at the beginning of the song "War of Stars" and also on the song "Protector."
The keyboard work of Lady Soundwave, deserves mentioning because it helps capture the atmosphere and style of the 80's era. They are tastefully incorporated in that they are not overly done. One can tell that this isn't Lady's first rodeo because her offerings are right where they need to be. Before long, her keyboard wizardry will have you reminiscing once more of that great era, the 80's.
The vocals of singer Mazi Danger Bee also fits nicely with Desyre's arrangements helping to complete the band's 80's style sound. Mazi has that European Pop style element in his vocals that was very popular back in the 80's. The vocals stand out on the track "The Magic of Your Kingdom" where Mazi's delivery comes across a little stronger.
The lyrics are overtly Christ centered letting us know that the band is serious about reaching the lost and encouraging the children of God.

"Mystery Eyes"
(Music & Lyrics: Mazi)
Story of my life
A simple tale of a broken man
I've seen the writings on the wall
On my knees standin' tall
At the crossroads
Oh, which way to go
The struggle in my life
How will I know
Mystery Eyes - Tell me what You see
When You look at my heart
Look at my soul
Mystery Eyes - Speakin' to me
Show my destiny
Mystery Eyes lookin at me
Mystery Eyes - Eyes of love
Mystery Eyes - Mercy Above
Healing my wounds
In the devil's game of fame
I have lost so many times
Broken promises I see
Is it all that's left of me
At the crossroads
Oh, which way to go
The struggle in my life
How will I know
Mystery Eyes...
I will never have to carry on alone
Jesus came to lift me when I'm down
He came to heal me
He can heal you too
"Magic of Your Kingdom"
Open your heart and you will see
Just ask and you’ll believe
That He is the Truth
The Way and the Life
Striving to find your own way out
You can not do it without
Him whose Blood will set you free
