KIUAS Performs In Tampere With Stand-In Singer; Video Available

October 30, 2010

Fan-filmed video footage of KIUAS' October 29, 2010 performance at Pakkahuone in Tampere, Finland with stand-in vocalist Asim Searah (THE NIBIRUAN) can be viewed below.

Singer Ilja Jalkanen decided to leave KIUAS due to musical differences. He said in a statement, "My heart is not in heavy metal anymore, and a great band like KIUAS deserves a singer completely dedicated to the music."

Jalkanen will make his final appearance with KIUAS in Helsinki in January 2011. The exact date and venue will be announced later.

KIUAS's fourth album, "Lustdriven", entered the official chart in the band's home country at position No. 8. Released on March 31 via Spinefarm Records, the CD was produced at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki by Janne Joutsenniemi, who previously worked with the band on the pre-production of their last album, "The New Dark Age". Mikko Karmila mixed the album at Finnvox studios while the mastering duties were handled by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers.
