A power metal quintet that formed in 1996 in Salo, Finland, Twilight Guardians gained a certain notoriety for their 2006 cover of Madonna's mid-eighties pop hit, "La Isla Bonita." Having found success with their 1998 EP, Land of the Kings, Twilight Guardians released their debut album, Tales of the Brave, in 2000. The early momentum of the band was spurred along with festival appearances at such events as Numirock alongside Hammerfall, Scorpions, and Motorhead. Eventually the band signed with Spinefarm, and released their follow-up full length, Wasteland, in 2004. Their third album, Sin Trade, was released in 2006, and was notable in that it contained the aforementioned Madonna cover. In 2007, members Vesa Virtanen (vocals), Carl-Johan Gustafsson (guitars), Mikko Tång (bass), Henri Suominen (drums), and Jari Pailamo (keyboards) released Ghost Reborn to warm critical reception.
