It is definitely the year of exploration for both Kotipelto & Liimatainen, since last month they hosted the very first live concerts of Cain's Offering since the band's inception in 2009. While they are more well-known for Cain's Offering, both Jani Liimatainen and Timo Kotipelto also share the stage in an acoustic duet project, which so far, only had concerts in the home turf of Finland, but the Finns have scheduled their very first concerts outside of Finland: a couple of shows at the heart of Italy. The pair have already released their debut album Blackoustic back in October 2012.

Some might have wondered when Cain's Offering, the brainchild band of ex-Sonata Arctica guitarist Jani Liimatainen, featuring Stratovarius members Timo Kotipelto and Jens Johansson, would perform live. The wait is over, and the Japanese are the first audience since the band's formation in 2009 to get a live show. The Finnish supergroup will embark on a concert tour in Japan, scheduled for the end of February 2016, in the cities of Tokyo and Osaka. These news, previously rumoured by the fans, were proven right as Cain's Offering have posted a promotional poster of the tour dates, naming the tour Resurrection Japan Tour 2016. No additional details of this tour, however, were announced yet but one can always hope for more shows.

Original news, posted on 13.04.2009

Guitarist Jani Liimatainen has revealed more info regarding his new project on his MySpace:

"I promised you I'd give you some info about what I've been working on lately (for a year now actually...). The info about the new lineup was released on this months Burrn!-magazine, so I think it's time to make it official here as well. My new band is called Cain's Offering, the official website will be up and running hopefully already next week and you can find the Myspace-site here."

"Cain's Offering are currently working on our debut album, "Gather The Faithful", which will hopefully come out by the end of the summer. The drums were recorded at Drumforest Studios last November/December, the bass at Astia Studios during February, the basic guitar tracks were laid down in the beginning of March at Studio 57, and last couple of weeks we've been camping out in the woods with Timo recording the lead vocals. We still have 2 more songs to record, but all in all things are going smoothly.

Unfortunately we cannot provide any songs or samples yet, but when we get there some will be uploaded here for your listening pleasure. In the meanwhile, those of you who like to listen a big man bang on his drums can check out this clip. It's our beloved Hurtsi rehearsing before we went to the studio to lay down the drum tracks. I think he begins with "Disciple" by Slayer, before launcing into "13th Disciple" (yes, he has some sense of humour), song that be included on "Gather The Faithful". A few other songtitles include "Stolen Waters", "More Than Friends" and "Morpheus In a Masquerade". That's about all the info I can give you at the moment, but be patient."

Cain's Offering are:

Vocals: Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius)
Guitar: Jani Liimatainen (ex-Sonata Arctica, ex-Altaria)
Keyboards: Mikko Harkin (ex-Sonata Arctica)
Bass: Jukka Koskinen (Wintersun, Norther)
Drums: Jani "Hurtsi" Hurula

UPDATE (thanks to [user_id]22261[/user_id])

Cain's Offering have posted four new tracks off their forthcoming album "Gather The Faithful". Check them out here.
