Eternal Tears Of Sorrow

Eternal Tears Of Sorrow announce new guitarist

Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has had several setbacks during the past nine months, including the most recent setback, Risto Ruuth (guitar) leaving the band just before the mixing session. However, EToS proves that adversities can be overcome. The band announced an open search and plenty of applications arrived from Finland and abroad. After listening to the demos and having test rehearsals, the band made their decision.

“The new guitarist is Mika Lammassaari from Oulu. Mika has a “heavy hand” when it comes to playing guitar, he has quick fingers and is full energy for the live shows. He is already known from Mors Subita, an Oulu-based metal band, in which he is responsible for almost all of the band’s material.”, says Altti Veteläinen (vocals/bass).

The band’s sixth album 'Children of the Dark Waters' will be released in a few weeks and a quick taster ('Tears of Autumn Rain' single) has already been released in February. Now, EToS starts rehearsing with the new guitarist to have several gigs next autumn, firm as iron.

'Children of the Dark Waters' pre-listening event is held at PSK Kaupunni restaurant, Oulu, Finland on Saturday, 9th of May. The event starts at 7 o’clock pm. Welcome!
