Finnish power metal group Thunderstone have announced the return of vocalist Pasi Rantanen who left the band in 2007. He will replace Rick Altzi who now has his plate full at Masterplan.

Pasi's statement: "Dear Thunderstone fans and friends, I'm back! And man, it feels good too! Leaving Thunderstone was a difficult decision and something that I regretted more than once during my time away. So when the guys approached me about a possible reunion, I had no second thoughts. I missed the music, the friendship, the craziness, and most importantly, the SMELL! Thanks for all your support during the years. Stay tuned for some amazing stuff from Thunderstone."

Says bassist Titus: "Asking Pasi to come back was a no-brainer, really. He has one of the best voices in the scene and many people beyond Thunderstone fans were wondering what he was doing with his incredible talent. We're really excited to be working with him again."
