Guitarist/Main Songwriter KARI KAINULAINEN Quits AMARAN

November 23, 2004

Guitarist/main songwriter Kari Kainulainen has left the Swedish progressive metallers AMARAN. "I have decided to leave AMARAN to devote my energy to my new band, SIBLIANCE," Kainulainen writes on the band's web site. "I not not leaving AMARAN because of any personal indifferences... AMARAN has just been working poorly lately, which has made me frustrated. I can remove [the frustration] by stepping down. Furthemore, I haven't been satisfied what so ever about the situation with Listenable [Records] (I guess that's the biggest issue)...

"I wish the AMARAN guys all the best and all the best of luck!!!"

AMARAN's sophomore effort, "Pristine In Bondage", was released in January through Listenable Records. The follow-up to "A World Depraved" was recorded at Studio Underground in Västerås, Sweden and is the group's first since the departure of bassist Mikael Andersson (he has since been replaced by JULIE LAUGHS NO MORE drummer Ronnie Bergerståhl).
