He also plays in the prog-metal band ARCHED, which is currently recording a demo with a view towards procuring a label deal. Guitarists Jari Huttunen and Jarkko Petosalmi are continuing to play together in the band DARK DAYS AHEAD (DDA). Petosalmi is also a member of WHERE VICTIMS LIE.

Timo Rautiainen will release the third single, "Uskonnonpastori", from his debut solo album, "Sarvivuori", on November 8. The single will also include live material recorded on his summer tour. Rautiainen is expected to release his sophomore solo album sometime in the spring.
