TO/DIE/FOR Announce Helsinki Date

June 24, 2005

Finnish goth-metallers TO/DIE/FOR will be performing at Gloria in Helsinki, Finland on July 16. The concert will be part of the Tuska Open Air after-show festivities.

TO/DIE/FOR recently parted ways with guitarist Juppe "J.P." Sutela and replaced him with SOULRELIC axeman Antza Talala.

TO/DIE/FOR are continuing to support their latest album, "IV", available now on Spinefarm Records/Soulfood. The follow-up to 2003's "Jaded" was recorded at Sonicimage studios in Kouvola, Finland and was mixed at Finnvox studios in Helsinki with Mikko Karmila.

The current TO/DIE/FOR lineup once again features vocalist Jarno "Jape" Perätalo, who allegedly decided to reclaim the TO/DIE/FOR name for his TIAGA project after being offered a record deal by Spinefarm Records. Joining Perätalo in the new TO/DIE/FOR formation are ex-NEW DAWN FOUNDATION drummer/ex-TO/DIE/FOR drum tech Santtu Lonka, guitarist Mika "Alli" Ahtiainen, ex-H.I.M./NEW DAWN FOUNDATION keyboardist Juska Salminen, and bassist Jarkko "Josey" Strandmann (ex-NEW DAWN FOUNDATION).

Upcoming TO/DIE/FOR shows:

Jul. 03 – Istanbul, TUR @ Rock Republic Festival
Jul. 16 – Helsinki, FIN @ Gloria
Oct. 29 – Kajaani, FIN @ Rocktober Fest
