26.5.2011 Avenie update of doom!
Since the rapture didn't occur last saturday, we have a shitload of things to announce. Here it is in as few words as we possibly could cut it down to:
- We will be playing at the official Sauna Open Air after party on friday 10.6. @ Jack The Rooster. Our setlist focuses mostly on totally new, previously unheard material. This will be the best possible chance to get a taste of what's to come.
- Our previous vocalist and dear friend Marko Eskola has decided to step down from the line-up due to personal musical preferences. We are extremely thankful for his time, effort and enormous talent. We hope to one day hear the music he hears in his (bald) head.
- Juha, our bass player, who btw is a terrific singer and has previously sang for a bunch of bands (Mockshot for example), has stepped up and taken the position of the lead vocalist. We have always been aware of his capabilities as a vocalist and a frontman and we couldn't think of anyone more suitable for the job (we've had a couple practices and he kicks ass, balls and still comes back to kick some more ass).
- Markus Hirvonen, an extremely promising young multi-instrumentalist, has taken over the bass as a live member.
- We decided to put "Sombre Embrace" up for free streaming and download on our website, right here.
If you like what you hear and want to support the production of our next album & merchandise, there's a donation box just for that purpose. You yourself can decide wether to donate or not and how much. Our music is and should be free to our fans. In the future we are planning to make some t-shirts at least and if possible, a physical release of Sombre Embrace and all future releases, depending on how much donations we get.
- We have 5 new songs we've already played in the rehearsal pad and 4 more almost ready. The plan is to start the recordings of the second album some time during the fall.
If you read that whole thing, you must be metal. Thank you and our sincerest apologies! Not as bad as an apocalypse though? Stay tuned!
- Matti & Felipe / Avenie
