Once a year an annual metal music expo event called Finnish Metal Expo is held at Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki Finland. Every year there is a possibility for metal fans to cast their vote for the band they think should be awarded for best band, album, newcomer, album art, vocalist, musician etc, or the best underground act.

Winners are selected by voting and the voting has now started at http://www.imperiumi.net/fma/

Don´t forget, that on year 2008 Norther was voted as the 3rd best band and our latest album N as the 3rd best album. To help Norther to get all the possible votes, go to the website above, and cast your vote!

Thank you all in advance!

Finnish metal outfit NORTHER did not have to search long for a
competent replacement for ex-vocalist Petri Lindroos, who had left the band
recently due to his commitments to Ensiferum. NORTHER states:


After a
hard search for a new vocalist we are honoured to announce Aleksi Sihvonen as
our new lead singer. He's a creative and diverse vocalist with loads of
experience. He will surely add new input to the band with his talent and
variable singing styles, and most importantly: his personality fits to the band
perfectly.


Besides this we have recruited, our old friend, Daniel
Freyberg as live guitarist to complete our team. We also want to thank all
of you worldwide who applied for the new vocalist spot!

We hereby welcome
our great new guys, Aleksi and Daniel, to the band and we will present you the
fresh NORTHER line-up live soon!”


Aleksi Sihvonen
adds:

“Sometimes life can take you places you wouldn’t even imagine
going to. So, here I am and I’m very grateful and humbly honoured to be part of
the NORTHER family.


I feel I've met the band I've always wanted to be in. Like every
musician I want to make the very effort to improve my skills as much as possible
and push myself to the limits and in

 

NORTHER I
feel that I'm able to use my voice as full and diverse as I've always wanted
to.
I'm very excited on working on new material, practicing and playing shows
everywhere possible!! See you all soon!!


But now, let Aleksi’s stunning voice do the talking: A version of
the song “Frozen Angel” (taken from NORTHER’s current album “N”) featuring his
vocals plus new photos of him and Daniel have now been posted at:
www.norther.net

 

Be assured, in 2009 NORTHER will return stronger than
ever!

Current mood:  cheerful

Norther is now looking for a new full time singer. We are looking for a versatile, creative individual with high motivation and a preferable capability of singing in different styles.
The person we are looking for must be at least 20 years of age and
preferably live in Finland. Guitar playing skills are considered as an
advantage but not necessary.

If you feel you might be the one, please download the following instrumental version of our song Frozen Angel. Return it to us with your own vocals recorded on top to singer@norther.net in MP3 format. You can download the song here, and the lyrics here. It is also possible to send a free-form audio or video sample of yourself.

We offer the new singer a possibility to rock around the globe in
an excellent team and enjoy the full benefits of being in an
international heavy metal band.

May the best one win, the search is on!!

All the best, 
Norther

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.
 
Norther was founded in 2000 and has so far released five full length
albums, 2 EPs, a DVD, four singles and a movie soundtrack for a Finnish
film V2. During the years Norther has done extensive touring with bands
like Dimmu Borgir, Hypocrisy, Turisas, Finntroll etc. Norther is
currently signed to Century Media Records (Europe and USA) and Marquee
Avalon (Japan).
 
Additional information concerning the recruitment of a new singer will be provided soon.
