NEGATIVE Launches Rhythm Guitarist Search

February 11, 2008

Finnish hard/glam rockers NEGATIVE are looking for a new rhythm guitar player. Interested parties should e-mail a sample of their playing (a link to an audio or video file),a photo and a short biography to [email protected].

NEGATIVErecently parted ways with its longtime guitarist Sir Christus (real name: Jukka Kristian Mikkonen).

Commented Jonne Aaron: "We decided that it's best to continue without Sir Christus. This is not a hasty decision; we've talked about this many times and this is really the best thing for all of us. There's no hard feelings on either side."

He continued, "It's just like any long-lasting relationship — people can grow apart and end up wanting different things. NEGATIVE will, of course, keep going on, no doubt about that. This will not affect our future plans."

NEGATIVE is currently recording its new CD with producer Mikko Karmila (NIGHTWISH, CHILDREN OF BODOM).

"We feel very confident about the new songs, and the mood inside the band is relaxed and relieved," said Jonne. "We're concentrating 100% on the new album now, and we'll bring in the new guitarist on the gigs following the release of our new record."

NEGATIVE recently topped the Music DVD chart in the group's home country with its new release, "In the Eye of the Hurricane". Included on the discs is a full-length NEGATIVE show filmed at Pakkahuone in Tampere, Finland in December 2006, plus over three hours' worth of material from the last 10 years, including a new interview, photo galleries, promo videos, fan photos, lead singer Jonne Aaron's liner notes, and a behind-the-scenes documentary.
