Marco Hietala (Tarot, Nightwish) will produce the vocals for the new album, which will be released later this year.

Finnish metallers Amoral have issued the following update:

"As you might've noticed, it's been real quiet here in the past few months. We've been writing, rehearshing and recording demos of the new material that will eventually become Amoral studio album number five. There's been a nice, long break from gigs, so we've been able to fully concentrate on this, which also explains the lack of updates or news online.

So far, we have about 50% of the next album completely written and demo'd out, and we're really happy with what we're hearing. It's still gonna take a good while to complete writing the other half, figure out all the boring business side of things (new label etc) and actually record the album, so please be patient. We also have some shows to do during the summer, which slows the writing down a bit...

We've posted a couple of videos of us recording new songs, one with Juffi's beats and another with Ari's vocals. Sorry for the lack of new music heard, but we don't wanna get the riffs out there this early in the process, we'd rather keep it fresh for when the album is actually out."

Finnish metallers Amoral have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:

"For the past months it has been unclear whether or not Silver would continue in the band, and now he has made up his mind to leave. Apparently he didn't feel motivated enough to be part of Amoral anymore, as well as wanting to concentrate on other things in life.

As bothersome as it is to lose a band member we've been working with since the very beginning, we're not going to let this affect our own enthusiasm and the future of Amoral. Valtteri Hirvonen will be our "permanent stand-in guitarist" for the time being, so he'll be joining us on gigs and helping out with the songwriting process (he did a great job on the European tour by the way, so we're more than happy to have the guy with us).

So, all the best for Silver in the future, and towards new adventures with Amoral!"

A message from Silver reads: "I would like to thank the guys for dedication and determination throughout the years and making things happen. I treasure the experiences and miles travelled. I hope nothing but the best for Amoral and raise my thumbs up to Valtteri Hirvonen for stepping up to the challenge!"
