July 9, 2010Long-running Finnish "dark metal" band THROES OF DAWN has announced the addition of keyboardist Henri Andersson to the group's ranks. According to THROES OF DAWN, "Andersson has been playing live with the band since the beginning of 2010 when the band started touring after the release of our fifth full-length album, 'The Great Fleet Of Echoes', and fits the band perfectly. All members of THROES OF DAWN welcome Henri and are looking forward to both future live shows and recording a new album with him."
"The Great Fleet of Echoes" was released via Firebox Records during the Finnish Metal Expo on February 19. The CD was made available as both a digiback CD and a limited double LP with 24-bit mastering. The double LP includes two bonus songs.
