as title.... 上週的新聞。XD Finnish metal outfit NORTHER has issued the following update: "After a hard search for a new vocalist, we are honoured to announce Aleksi Sihvonen [MEDICATED] as our new lead singer. He's a creative and diverse vocalist with loads of experience. He will surely add new input to the band with his talent and variable singing styles, and most importantly: his personality fits to the band perfectly. "Besides this, we have recruited our old friend Daniel Freyberg as live guitarist to complete our team. We also want to thank all of you worldwide who applied for the new vocalist spot! "We hereby welcome our great new guys, Aleksi and Daniel, to the band and we will present you the fresh NORTHER lineup live soon!" Commented Aleksi Sihvonen: "Sometimes life can take you to places you wouldn't even imagine going to. So, here I am and I'm very grateful and humbly honoured to be part of the NORTHER family. I feel I've met the band I've always wanted to be in. Like every musician, I want to make the very effort to improve my skills as much as possible and push myself to the limits and in NORTHER I feel that I'm able to use my voice as full and diverse as I've always wanted to. I'm very excited on working on new material, practicing and playing shows everywhere possible!!" A version of the song "Frozen Angel" (taken from NORTHER's current album, "N") featuring Aleksi's vocals has been posted at www.norther.net. NORTHER explained its split with longtime singer/guitarist Petri Lindroos by saying in a statement, "NORTHER was forced to let Petri go to be able to continue. Petri's full-time engagement in ENSIFERUM increasingly prevented NORTHER from functioning as an active band." NORTHER was founded in 2000 and has thus far released five full-length albums, two EPs, a DVD, four singles and the soundtrack to the Finnish film "V2". The band has done extensive touring with such acts as DIMMU BORGIR, HYPOCRISY, TURISAS and FINNTROLL. NORTHER is currently signed to Century Media Records (Europe and USA) and Marquee Avalon (Japan). NORTHER released its latest album, "N", in North America on September 30, 2008. The record marked the band's Century Media debut and featured two bonus tracks from the "No Way Back" EP, "No Way Back" and "C.U.S.", along with a video for the song "We Rock". "N" entered the Finnish national chart at position No. 5 back in February 2008. The CD was recorded and produced by longtime partner Anssi Kippo (CHILDREN OF BODOM) at Astia Studios and mixed by Fredrik Nordström (DARK TRANQUILLITY, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES) at Studio Fredman in Sweden. 網址： http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article& newsitemID=118124 縮網： http://0rz.tw/nWbxi Norther找到新主唱Aleksi Sihvonen (Medicated)。 團員們似乎很滿意。:p 接著是要先表演現場。 前主唱Petri Lindroos離團之後，目前專心玩Ensiferum。 有低調，是從他們官網放出來的。:p http://www.filesavr.com/norther-frozenangelaleksisihvonen 還沒聽欸。XD -- I've got to keep breathing.
