AUTUMN Singer Quits

January 25, 2008

Dutch singer Nienke de Jong has decided to leave AUTUMN by the end of February.

After long and careful deliberation, partly influenced by her recent health issues, Nienke has come to the decision that she would henceforth like to devote more of her time to her own band DEJAFUSE and her work at the Graveland Studio. Since AUTUMN is about to enter a new and time-consuming chapter, writing the follow-up to "My New Time", the time has now come for Nienke to part ways with AUTUMN and set a new course for herself.

As we speak, AUTUMN is talking to a number of singers, exploring possibilities for a future together. In a few weeks' time the new voice and face of AUTUMN will be announced.

To send Nienke on her way in style, there will be two farewell shows in Holland next month. These shows will take place on February 15 at Gigant in Apeldoorn and on February 16 at Nirwana in Lierop.

AUTUMN's video for the song "Satellites" can be viewed below. The track comes off the band's latest effort, "My New Time", which entered the Dutch album chart at position No. 72.

Produced by Arno Krabman at Graveland Studio and mixed by Jochem Jacobs at Split Second Sound Studio, "My New Time" is described as "a powerful, heavy yet melodic album which will impress gothic rock/metal fans all over the world!"
