The following message was posted at Necrophagist's website:

"The band would like to announce Helsinki/Finland based Sami Raatikainen as the new guitar player. We look forward to working together with an extremely talented fella, as we never met someone working faster or harder before.

We would also like to thank the applicants that didn't get the spot, you guys have done a great job! But in the end, there can only be one. Thank you all!"
