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

"Our cooperation with our vocalist Juri has ended. We thank him for the past years, all the shows we've played together and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Like any band member would know, there's more to being in a band than just performing on stage. With these other things, we have had constant difficulties meeting each other eye-to-eye and these issues we have not been able to resolve. This has once again put us in a situation where we need to evaluate our line-up and where we stand with the band. This decision is very unpleasant, but regardless of that, necessary and the right one.

Because of this we are now looking for a new death metal vocalist. We hope you live in Western- or Southern part of Finland, and/or you are capable of coming to Turku
whenever needed. Contact us via: serialtorturekiller [at] gmail [dot] com

"We wish your "application" would include the following info:

- a sample of your voice (old-school style - yes / doggy,-fart,-piggystyle - no).
- a short bio about yourself.
- bandhistory (your ex/active bands, if there's any).
- a short note about your studio & live-experiences (if there's any).
- youtube / other links to give us a hint about your stage presence (if there's any).

We've been under these circumstances before and even if these situations have always been annoying & unpleasant, we've always managed to come back stronger and stand straight again. And so it shall be, again!"

Finnish death metal band Torture Killer have released the following statement:

"The tours and shows to support our third album, Sewers, are now complete. Doing a full list of dates here back home, European tour with Demonical, a Russian tour, homeland festivals and the Baltic dates with Cannibal Corpse behind us, we will now look into the future.

We have a bunch of songs at demo phase and will start working on them in the coming weeks. 2011 will not see a new full-length but we are doing something for sure, a mini-CD or a seven inch. More on that as things move forward."

According to a posting on the Six Feet Under website, legendary death metal vocalist Chris Barnes has officially parted ways with the Finnish death metal band Torture Killer, who took their name from a Six Feet Under song back when they were a SFU and Obituary cover band.

"I am no longer involved with, or a member of the band Torture Killer. The split is mutual; it was just time for me to move forward. I wish the band well in all future plans and musical endeavors" comments Chris Barnes.

Torture Killer have commented the split and announced their new vocalist on their Myspace site:

"From this point on we will continue with [Juri] Sallinen on vocals. No drama, we agreed it will be less confusing and better for us and Chris to continue on our own paths. We're very grateful for his help during the past few years and wish him the best of luck - he's been cool to us all this time. With Sallinen we now have a complete and solid line-up and will concentrate on finishing the 3rd Torture Killer album."
