TO/DIE/FOR Part Ways With Singer, Seek Replacement

August 5, 2003

Jape Perätalo, vocalist for Finnish goth metallers TO/DIE/FOR, has left the band due to a "lack of motivation."

"We've come to the point where we didn't expect to come," the band said in an official statement. "Jape decided to end his career in TO/DIE/FOR.

"We wish him good luck in whatever he is going to do. Thanks for great times with the band. We are definitely going to continue the band as TO/DIE/FOR.

"Now it's time for us to look for a new singer who can fill the huge hole which Jape left."

TO/DIE/FOR's most recent CD, "Jaded", was released in March through Spinefarm Records (Nuclear Blast in continental Europe). The follow-up to 2001's "Epilogue" featured guest vocals by former SINERGY and current NIGHTWISH bassist/vocalist Marco Hietala.
