Guitarist Jani Liimatainen has revealed more info regarding his new project on his MySpace:
"I promised you I'd give you some info about what I've been working on lately (for a year now actually...). The info about the new lineup was released on this months Burrn!-magazine, so I think it's time to make it official here as well. My new band is called Cain's Offering, the official website will be up and running hopefully already next week and you can find the Myspace-site here."
"Cain's Offering are currently working on our debut album, "Gather The Faithful", which will hopefully come out by the end of the summer. The drums were recorded at Drumforest Studios last November/December, the bass at Astia Studios during February, the basic guitar tracks were laid down in the beginning of March at Studio 57, and last couple of weeks we've been camping out in the woods with Timo recording the lead vocals. We still have 2 more songs to record, but all in all things are going smoothly.
Unfortunately we cannot provide any songs or samples yet, but when we get there some will be uploaded here for your listening pleasure. In the meanwhile, those of you who like to listen a big man bang on his drums can check out this clip. It's our beloved Hurtsi rehearsing before we went to the studio to lay down the drum tracks. I think he begins with "Disciple" by Slayer, before launcing into "13th Disciple" (yes, he has some sense of humour), song that be included on "Gather The Faithful". A few other songtitles include "Stolen Waters", "More Than Friends" and "Morpheus In a Masquerade". That's about all the info I can give you at the moment, but be patient."
Cain's Offering are:
Vocals: Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius)
Guitar: Jani Liimatainen (ex-Sonata Arctica, ex-Altaria)
Keyboards: Mikko Harkin (ex-Sonata Arctica)
Bass: Jukka Koskinen (Wintersun, Norther)
Drums: Jani "Hurtsi" Hurula
UPDATE (thanks to [user_id]22261[/user_id])

I guess the Wintersun bassist doesn't see Time coming out anytime soon so why not?

Posts: 9726 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 13.04.2009 at 21:45 Not to worry, he just wants to give the illusion that every one loves power metal by trying to shut the nay-sayers up. Anyways, about the project - Well, its got a member from Wintersun so you just know its going to be heralded as genus. Secondly, how do I know this is going to be absolutely drowned in sugary synthesizers?

And I was wondering what the hell happened to Jani, well this answers my question. Well I've got split opinions, yeah, IMO Jani is an awesome guitarist, so let's hope that he is that good with songwriting and that stuff. About the other musicians, well, Mikko is very good in my opinion (way too cheesy, but good), then we have that guy from Wintersun, well, I'm not a big fan of Wintersun but surely he can do a great job, and about Kotipelto, mmm sometimes his voice pisses me off, but still I like him. So let's hope this won't be a bad album, I'm just sure that I'll enjoy listening again to a Jani's guitar solo!

Seeing as Kotipelto is the singer, no thanks. I can't stand him at all nowadays.

Indeed I agree with Marcel looks to be crap. Timo's new album was pretty generic, and Sonata Arctica has gone downhill so I'm not sure what to predict about this one. But sure with the right combinations of presonalities it could be good.

Posts: 40071 Written by LeChron James on 15.04.2009 at 19:41 Why wouldn't they count? They consitute the rhythm without which you don't have a band. You can do away with the keyboard player or vocalist but never wth the bass player or drummer.

This band definitly sound like it has potential, but on the other hand, it could also end up being very generic. I wish they would put up some demos or something on their myspace haha. Yeah, as much as I love power metal, I don't know if I can take more generic power metal from very talented muscians, so I hope they can make a sound of their own.
