TO/DIE/FOR Keyboardist To Take Break From Band To 'Heal Himself'

December 17, 2005

Keyboardist Juska Salminen (ex-H.I.M., NEW DAWN FOUNDATION) will be taking a break from performing and recording activities with Finnish goth-metallers TO/DIE/FOR. "The reason is that he is a bit sick and he needs time to heal himself," explained TO/DIE/FOR vocalist Jarno "Jape" Perätalo. "We don't know when he can come back, but the most important thing is that he can calm down and get well. Juska is our friend and we really know him! so we think this is best for him and for the band and Juska thinks same way. But don't worry people!!!! He is not dead yet."

TO/DIE/FOR recently parted ways with guitarist Juppe "J.P." Sutela and replaced him with SOULRELIC axeman Antza Talala.

TO/DIE/FOR are continuing to support their latest album, "IV", available now on Spinefarm Records/Soulfood. The follow-up to 2003's "Jaded" was recorded at Sonicimage studios in Kouvola, Finland and was mixed at Finnvox studios in Helsinki with Mikko Karmila.

The current TO/DIE/FOR lineup is completed by ex-NEW DAWN FOUNDATION drummer/ex-TO/DIE/FOR drum tech Santtu Lonka, guitarist Mika "Alli" Ahtiainen, and bassist Jarkko "Josey" Strandmann (ex-NEW DAWN FOUNDATION).
