HELION Parts Ways With Singer, Seeks Replacement

February 20, 2007

Finnish melodic metallers HELION have issued the following update:

We are sorry to announce the following: A little while ago, Jukka [Salo, vocals] told us that he no longer has neither the time nor the required interest to stick with HELION. These are what we call personal reasons, which we understand. Naturally, we're disappointed in his decision, but considering the situation by large, it's best for both parties that we move on.

"Jukka may post a brief statement on [his own], in a while at least. Until that, we close this chapter of the HELION saga. We remain friends; this has nothing to do with chemistry.

"So, we're a vocalist short. Any of you who may be interested in the job can contact us via email: helionprog at gmail dot com. Include a sample of your work (mp3 or a link will do). We can also provide an instrumental background to work with, just ask.

"What we're looking for is a charismatic singer with a personal, strong voice and good stage presence. All material up to date should be interpreted convincingly, which means strong clean voice with enough vocal range. Also, strong gritty vocals will be a great addition to the total scale. Preferred age around 25."

HELION's latest album, "Mercury Rising", was recorded at Studio Sound Supreme (AMORAL, PAIN CONFESSOR, ROTTEN SOUND) and was the group's first CD to feature new guitar player Kimmo Korhonen. As an added bonus, a remixed version of "Pay Day" is also included on the effort.
