I'll be heading to Europe tomorrow for a few festival dates and then right back to work in the studio on Monday. Jim Morris and I are having a great time, as usual, and are very much looking forward to starting vocal tracks with "Stucifer" next week!
Stu Block has contributed a lot to the vocal parts on this record, with co-writing credits on 10 out of 12 songs, and I'm very happy with our chemistry and what we've accomplished together so far. And we're just getting started."
Confirmed songtitles set to appear on Dystopia include: "Dystopia", "Anthem", "Days of Rage", "Soylent Green", "V", "Boiling Point", "Tragedy and Triumph", "Anguish of Youth" and "Iron Will".

Kiuas - New Line-Up Announced
Guitarist Mikko Salovaara of Finnish power metal band Kiuas has issued the following update on the recent line-up changes:
"As our loyal followers (that's you!) are well aware, vocalist Ilja Jalkanen left the band to pursue other interests. However, it is not only Ilja who has been pondering the balance between Kiuas and other areas in their lives. Markku Näreneva (drums) duties as a parent and medical doctor have grown to the point where it is impossible for him to continue giving his total dedication to the band. Atte Tanskanen has found his passion with flying and after graduating from the Finnish Aviation Academy he has spent most of his time in the mile high club (and steering the aircraft as well every now and then).
As for the new members... Our new official keyboard player Jari Pailamo (ex-Twilight Guardians) has already played over 30 gigs with Kiuas and has practically been a sixth member of the band since the New Dark Age Tour in 2008, standing in for Atte when he was busy soaring the skies. Jari is a virtuoso player with a history of professional musicianship behind him and his knowledge and expertise is so extensive that he has been used as a consultant in the studio for the likes of Lordi.
The new vocalist Asim Searah is a young gem luckily discovered by a certain bald guitar player and has already displayed his talents with Kiuas on four gigs. Asim's clean and powerful vocal range can easily cover the world's metal and hard rock repertoire and he can shift convincingly from classic Dio-esque melodies to brutal death growls. He is also a competent guitar player and thus future shows will partly feature some serious twin guitar bombardment!
The new drummer, Rainer "Raikku" Tuomikanto (ex-Causemos, ex-In Silentio Noctis) is a well-known figure in the Finnish metal scene, an artist and a technical phenomenon in the highest league. He has performed on dozens of records and toured with many finnish bands and has now finally found his right place with Kiuas."

Xandria - Part Ways With Vocalist
German Symphonic metal act Xandria wants to share the following good and bad news with you:
"First the bad ones: it now appears that Kerstin Bischof (guest for Axxis) - who joined the band about a year ago - unfortunately can't be the permanent new singer of Xandria. Due to occupational and private reasons she wants to concentrate on her non-musical career in the future and cannot support Xandria the way it would be necessary. We wish her all the best for the future!
So here and now we are searching for a new singer again, details for applications follow in a few days. We know that you are waiting for a new album, and we are very sorry for keeping you waiting even longer for the new songs, with which we actually wanted to enter the recording studio now.
The good news is that we will play the coming concerts nevertheless, cause our old singer Lisa Middelhauve (guest for Celtic Frost) has agreed to step in for them. But she will not enter the band again, so this will be an unexpected last opportunity for many fans to experience her on stage with Xandria once more!"
Tour dates:
19.03.2010 - Mexico City (MX) - Multiforo Tlalpan (Showtime: 19:00)
19.03.2010 - Teotihuacan (MX) - Rockstk Festival (Showtime: 00:30)
20.03.2010 - Puebla (MX) - Estudio 803
21.03.2010 - Tabasco (MX) - El Rock Nos Une Festival
07.05.2010 - Thessaloniki (GR) - 8Ball Club
08.05.2010 - Athens (GR) - AN Club
10.07.2010 - Rockmaraton Festival - Pécs (HU)

Delain - Seek New Bassist, Working On New Album
Delain have posted the following news on their website:
"Recently we started working on our new third album, which we hope to release this year. Together with Roadrunner we are working on extending our cooperation, and together we're aiming for bigger, better, and heavier then ever before. An external producer, a real orchestra, and much more exciting stuff will be involved. We will work more extensively on Delain during this process, and we are very much looking forward to it. We will keep you informed with movie samples and blogs.
However because of Delain's development the last couple of years it's becoming more time-consuming for all of us. That's why our band mate Rob van der Loo (ex-Sun Caged) has decided to leave the band later this year. You can find his comment here on his MySpace. We will communicate more about his departure and his last show later on. Together with Rob we are already organizing his replacement. If you are also interested to audition you can contact us on delainauditie (at) hotmail (dot) com."

Sonata Arctica - Three Shows Cancelled And Re-Schedule
Due to a heavy infection of his vocal chords, vocalist Tony Kakko had to visit a hospital in Budapest yesterday. The show in Graz (18.11.2009) had to be cancelled as well as the two following shows in Vienna (19.11.2009) and in Munich (20.11.2009) as the severity of the infection does not allow him to perform on next few days.
Sonata Arctica regret to disappoint their fans in Graz, Vienna and Munich, but of course these shows will be re-scheduled and the new dates will be announced soon. Tickets for all shows will remain valid. Sonata Arctica apologize for any inconvenience.
The band hopes that Tony will convalesce from his illness fast, so that the tour can go on with the show in Pratteln/Z7 (22.11.2009).
Here are the new, re-scheduled dates. All tickets remain valid.
04.02.2010 Vienna / Gasometer
05.02.2010 Graz / Seifenfabrik
06.02.2010 Munich / Backstage
(Also thank to 32160 for the news)
