THUNDERSTONE Announces New Touring Keyboardist

October 18, 2007

Despite a previous announcement to the contrary, STRATOVARIUS keyboardist Jens Johansson will be unable to join Finnish melodic power metallers THUNDERSTONE on their European tour as a replacement for the recently departed Kari Tornack. According to the band, Johansson has been forced to bow out of the tour "for personal reasons." Keyboard duties on the trek will now be handled by Jukka Karinen from the Finnish prog-metal outfit STATUS MINOR.

THUNDERSTONE's video for the song "Face in the Mirror" can be viewed below. The track comes off the group's fourth studio album, "Evolution 4.0", which was released this past March. According to the band, the CD is "a milestone, bringing in more of the heavier stuff that 'Tools of Destruction' already hinted at, but still retaining the landmark melodies of THUNDERSTONE. That's why we thought the title 'Evolution 4.0' best represents where we now stand."
