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.

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
