SKYFIRE Joined By ANDROMEDA's JOHAN REINHOLDZ; New Singer Announced

June 11, 2007

Vocalist Henrik Wenngren has left Swedish progressive death metallers SKYFIRE to concentrate on his project FAVILLA. Replacing him in SKYFIRE's current incarnation is ELOHIM vocalist Joakim Karlsson.

Commented SKYFIRE: "We are very excited to hear [Joakim's] voice in SKYFIRE on both future recordings and on all the old classics which we are itching to play live. We're also excited to announce that ANDROMEDA's Johan Reinholdz is officially a member of SKYFIRE now. Johan helped us out big-time on our tour in Spain when Jonas left and Martin had to take over on bass, so we are all extremely excited that he is now a fulltime member of the band.

"Speaking of the new record, we've all been hard at work writing and demoing new material to release on a new, up-and-coming label and has proven to be perfect for SKYFIRE. We've been given the go-ahead to announce our new home soon!

"We'll start officially recording the new album as soon as possible and it will probably be mixed later this year by someone who many of you should be familiar with by now in the metal scene."

SKYFIRE's current lineup is as follows:

Joakim Karlsson (Vocals)
Martin Hanner (Bass, Keyboards)
Andreas Edlund (Guitars, Keyboards)
Johan Reinholdz (Guitars)
Joakim Jonsson (Drums)

SKYFIRE's third album, "Spectral", was released in 2004 via Arise Records.
