ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW Drummer Leaves Band; Replacement Announced
December 9, 2008, 15 years ago
Finnish metallers ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW check in with the following update:
"Petri Sankala (drums) has left the band. The reason for this mutual decision is Petri’s back pain that hasn’t allowed him to play drums 100% during the past two years. None of us has bad feelings whatsoever and we wish Petri all the best!We’d like to introduce the replacement, Mr. Juho Raappana. In the past, Juho has played in many local bands such as IMPISH, CATAMENIA and MYTHOS. Having Gene Hoglan and Sean Reinert as his biggest influences, we think Juho is the best possible man to take the job. After all, fifteen years ago when we started, DEATH and CYNIC influenced us.
So, the new EToS lineup is:
Altti Veteläinen: growling vocals, bass
Jarmo Kylmänen: clean vocals
Jarmo Puolakanaho: guitars
Risto Ruuth: lead guitars
Janne Tolsa: keyboards
Juho Raappana: drums
P.S. Our forthcoming single was mixed last weekend. It will contain one new song and a brand new version of an old song. The single will be out in February and the album in April."
