Shade Empire - Part Ways With Vocalist, New Frontman Revealed
Finnish symphonic metal band Shade Empire have announced via their official Facebook page that they have already finished recording vocals on their new album. However, they have announced other news concerning a line-up change and that they have parted ways with their long time vocalist Juha Harju. Not much is known about the reason of this sudden change, yet the replacement for Juha has already been announced.
Here's the official comment from the band: "We have released Mr. Juha Harju on vocal duties. He sang his parts to forthcoming album (release date TBC) but he won't be seen nor heard with Shade Empire from this day on. Harju wants to thank fans for the past years.
"After the decision was made we started to seek new front man even from the foreign countries. However, the right person could be found from our hometown, Kuopio. As a band we want professionalism, humble and loyal attitude towards Shade Empire and that's what we got. The new singer Henry Hämäläinen is talented young guy who has enough capabilities both musically and personally. This is a natural step in Shade Empire's evergoing progress. The band's sound will definitely take step to whole new level with Henry in front, so let's give him a warm welcome and see you at the gigs! This is all band have to say about the matter and will not comment any further."
The band has also revealed a list of confirmed gigs around Finland:
5.5. Lutakko, Jyväskylä
6.5. Henry's Pub Kuopio
12.5. Bar Rock Bear, Vantaa
13.5. Wartti Bar, Seinäjoki
26.5. Suisto, Hämeenlinna
3.6. Susiraja Metal Club, Ruttokäräjät, Joensuu
5.8.2017 SaariHelvetti, Tampere
