THUNDERSTONE: New Song Featuring AMORPHIS Frontman Posted Online
February 14, 2009Finnish metallers THUNDERSTONE have posted a new song, "Star", on their MySpace page. The track, which will appear on the band's forthcoming, as-yet-untitled album, showcases THUNDERSTONE at its heaviest so far and features guest vocals from AMORPHIS frontman Tomi Joutsen. The song will also be released on Playground Music's "Dark Playground" compilation, which is being made available for free at the Finnish Metal Expo on February 13-14.
Video footage of the drum-recording sessions for the new THUNDERSTONE album can be viewed below.
THUNDERSTONE last year announced the addition of singer Rick Altzi from Sweden to the group's ranks. Rick has contributed his wonderful voice to many metal albums, most recently with German group AT VANCE (a band which he is still a member of).
August 2007 saw THUNDERSTONE part ways with vocalist Pasi Rantanen and keyboard player Kari Tornack, leaving fans wondering about the future of the band. The group, however, did not rest on its heels and did a full European tour in October-December 2007, recruiting vocalist Tommi "Tuple" Salmela from TAROT and keyboardist Jukka Karinen. The temporary lineup created a flood of speculation, which has been put to rest with the announcement of the band's new formation. On the keyboards the band enlisted Jukka Karinen, who already handled the keyboard duties on the European tour.
