Thaurorod announce new vocalist

Finnisch melodic power metallers Thaurorod released their debut album 'Upon Haunted Battlefields' in Autumn this year and went to play a European tour with Sabaton and Alestorm. Unfortunately, their former singer couldn't handle touring life really and decided to leave the fold during the tour, meaning the band had to finnish the tour with a replacement singer. But the search for a new, perfect front guy has now come to an end. Michele Luppi from Italy will be the new singer of Thaurorod. He has sung in Vision Divine and Killing Touch prior to joining Thaurorod.

Here's the official announcement from the band:

"Thaurorod's new vocalist and a frontman is Michele Luppi from Italy. Our previous vocalist Markku Kuikka left the band during our last tour we did with Sabaton and Alestorm and we had to finish the tour with a replacement singer. The reasons why Markku is not in the band anymore is his lack of abilities to perform and to make the show that we absolutely want to give to the audiences that comes to see us on stage. We need to continue with a guy who can make audience go crazy every single night!!!

We are looking very much forward to our future shows and "Power Of Metal" tour with Michele! Come to give this Italian gentleman a warm welcome! We already played a show in Nosturi, Helsinki with him and it felt absolutely great to share stage with him!

Sorry for it took so long to make this announcement about the vocalist situation as there have been a lot of speculation because we finished the last tour with a different vocalist than who is singing on the album. We just wanted to take the time to find the best possible singer for the band first and then announce the news.

At the moment Thaurorod is composing new material for the 2nd studio album. More updates on this will be posted in coming months.

See you on the road metalheads! Until then…, merry Christmas and a glorious year 2011!!!
