NORTHER Announce New Vocalist
April 14, 2009, 15 years ago
Finnish metal outfit NORTHER have found a replacement for ex-vocalist Petri Lindroos, who left the band recently due to his commitments to ENSIFERUM.
Norther states: "After a hard search for a new vocalist we are honoured to announce Aleksi Sihvonen 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!"
Aleksi Sihvonen adds: "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!! See you all soon!!"
A version of the song ‘Frozen Angel’ (taken from Norther's current album N) featuring his vocals can be heard here.
