Norther - Part Ways With Singer
Finnish metal band Norther parts ways with long time singer/guitarist Petri Lindroos. Norther was forced to let Petri go to be able to continue. Petri´s full time engagement in Ensiferum increasingly prevented Norther from functioning as an active band.
Petri wishes Norther all the best for the future. Current Norther crew, Kristian, Jukka, Tuomas and Heikki, wants to thank Petri for all these great years together and wishes him the best of luck with Ensiferum.
Additional information concerning the recruitment of a new singer will be provided soon.

WTF!? Never thought he was that into Ensiferum it would "hurt" Norther.... This is the most sad news I've heard for ages..... I don't believe they will find someone good enough to really replace Petri...

Yeah i didnt expect this either :S it always seemed to me like Petri was a spur-of-the-moment replacement for Jari, and wasn't a "real" member to the band; more like a guest vocalist.

Yeah that is a bit strange, since Petri is the founding member of Norther I would have thought he'd choose that over Ensiferum. Not really that concerned though, the first 3 albums were incredible, certainly "Death Unlimited" was by far their best. The last 2 have been very hit and miss. I wonder what will happen to the bassist, as I believe he plays in Wintersun. Certainly when both bands start touring it may be a problem. I really don't think band members can work in 2 big bands, just choose one.

Written by =maD.Doc:. on 04.03.2009 at 12:22 Yeah, those were the first three words that came into my mind after reading this, lol. But seriously, what's happening? Lately everyone's coming up with strange and unexpected news. I can't imagine Norther without Petri, if you ask me.

This blows! I like Ensiferum and all, but I definitly think he was a better fit with Norther.

Wow, I'm surprised. But thinking about it more, I really don't care  He does a better job with Ensiferum anyways.

I think he better fits with Norther then Ensiferum. Maybe Petri didn't liked the way Norther chose on the last one. My guess: Kride will take on as lead vocal, maybe someone will fill with growls from the rest of the band...

Who wrote the music on norther?, if Petri didn't do it, then there's no problem at all. Let's hope that Kride keeps his mouth shout.

From two evils Petri selected the lesser one! He is better at Ensiferum  On last album "N" Petri wrote music only for 3 songs and lyrics for 3 songs as well.

You guys all sound surprised that he left norther instead of Ensiferum. Honestly, what would you guys have done? Chose the band which isn't really all that popular and doesn't headline very often or choose the band which headlines almost every show, is incredibly popular worldwide and most likely makes way more money. The choice is fairly obvious to me.

WTF?!! I thoght that Norther was nr 1 priority for Petri. He fits better in Norther then Ensiferum as many of you said indeed. But I think he wants to be in a bigger band with for tours etc. to earn more money. For me Petri was one of most important part of Norther. Without him no Norther. A sad day for Norther fans..:cry:

Yeah, but Jukka is the bass player of Wintersun....obviously that band is going nowhere, but still - they're all too caught up in other bands anyway. Not really surprised.
