SHAPE OF DESPAIR Parts Ways With Singer, Announces Replacement

July 8, 2011

Finnish doom/death metallers SHAPE OF DESPAIR have issued the following update:

"Just before this year, SHAPE OF DESPAIR and [ex-AMORPHIS/current AJATTARA singer] Pasi Koskinen parted ways. We got very few close persons in mind who could fit inside the band's chemistry and share the same passion for our music.

"Welcome our newest member, Henri Koivula.

"Henri is known from his other band THROES OF DAWN which released magnificent 'The Great Fleet Of Echoes' album last year."

SHAPE OF DESPAIR released an EP, "Written In My Scars", last October via Solarfall Records.

SHAPE OF DESPAIR's third album, "Illusion's Play", was released in Europe in September 2004 through Spikefarm Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Angels of Distress" was recorded at Hellhole studios in Helsinki, Finland.
