Amberian Dawn - Recording New Album
Original news, posted on 23.11.2009
Finnish symphonic power metallers Amberian Dawn have issued the following update:
"Preparations for the third Amberian Dawn album are well underway. Keyboard player Tuomas, who composes music for AD, has all the new songs ready and Heidi has already started writing lyrics. Recordings begin on November 23rd and the first "victim" is our drummer Joonas. He has just got his brand new TAMA Starclassic drum kit and it will be interesting to find out how the set sounds in the studio.
The new album is going to be more diverse, faster and darker than our previous albums. The fastest AD songs to date contrast some extremely slow and heavy songs. There's even going to be a classical music piece. Some guest stars are going to featured on this album. Stay tuned for more information."
UPDATE (thanks to BudDa)
Amberian Dawn have posted the following studio update, concerning a very special guest appearance:
"We are proud to announce that professional opera singer, baritone Markus Nieminen is going to visit on our next album. Markus have been singing for example in Vienna State Opera, Hamburg State Opera, Sempreoper in Dresden, operahouses in Basil and St. Gallen and in Volksopera Vienna. Amberian Dawn likes to experience with different kind of styles of music. So, on next album of AD, there's going to be one classical piece (a walz) on which Heidi's going to duet with Markus. We are expecting the most special and stunning AD song so far."

Amberian Dawn - Line-Up Change Announcement
As posted on the band's website last week, there will be a change in the Amberian Dawn line-up when the co-operation with Tom Sagar ends. Guitarist Tuomas, who earlier played the keyboards only in the studio, takes now a fulltime job as a keyboardist on stage also. Amberian Dawn wishes Tom Sagar all the best in his future activities.
The new recruitment as a second guitarist is Emil "Emppu" Pohjalainen, who is a talented 23-year old finnish guitarist. He also plays in the band called Thaurorod. Emppu and Kasperi form probably one of the most technically skilled player-duo in the genre together.
