THUNDERSTONE: First Song With New Singer Posted Online

February 6, 2008

Finnish metallers THUNDERSTONE have posted a version of the song "Holdin' On To My Pain" featuring new singer Rick Altzi from Sweden. Check it out on the band's MySpace page. Rick has contributed his wonderful voice to many metal albums, most recently with German group AT VANCE (a band which he is still a member of).

Last August saw THUNDERSTONE part ways with vocalist Pasi Rantanen and keyboard player Kari Tornack, leaving fans wondering about the future of the band. The group, however, did not rest on its heels and did a full European tour in October-December, recruiting vocalist Tommi "Tuple" Salmela from TAROT and keyboardist Jukka Karinen. The temporary lineup created a flood of speculation, which is now being put to rest with the announcement of the band's new formation.

On the keyboards the band enlisted Jukka Karinen, who already handled the keyboard duties on the European tour.

The new lineup will perform for the first time at the ProgPower UK festival in Bristol on March 29.
