SoulHealer announce new drummer

Short after Finnish heavy metallers SoulHealer had finished the work on the upcoming album Timo Immonen came up with his announcement that he feels forced to quit his commitment as the active drummer of the band:

"It was really hard to let something like this go, basically a dream of a lifetime. To play in a rock 'n' roll band, gigging regularly, recording, and with such a great bunch of assholes hahaha! But what it comes down to is that I need to be able to spend more time with my family than I can see happening in the future with SoulHealer as the pace is gradually picking up, more gigs lining up, and what started out as a hobby becoming more and more professional. All great things, that take more time, time away from family life. I sincerely wish the guys in SoulHealer the best and that they have the strength and energy to continue on the path we started on together some three odd years ago. Go for it guys!"

The band would like to thank Timo for being an important part of SoulHealer behind the drum kit not only live but also on the 'Dreamcatcher' EP, the first full album 'The Kings of Bullet Alley' and also on the upcoming CD: "And Timo is right, the pace is picking up. So SoulHealer did not waste any time finding a replacement. Teemu Kuosmanen phoned up his old friend Jani Nyman, as he knew he is a killer drummer. Being asked if he wants to join SoulHealer as the new man, he didn't have to think twice. Because of that we want to welcome Jani Nyman as the newest member in the SoulHealer family."

Jani will give his live debut on 15.3.2013 in Oulu, Ravintola Ykän Pub. The gig on 16.3. at Muhos, Muhos-Kellari was cancelled by the venue. But SoulHealer already booked a replacement gig for that day. The band will play at Royal Night Train in Kempele on 16.3.2012.

"We know this is not the announcement you did expect, as you are waiting impatiently for the details of the upcoming album. But we can promise you that this will be the next thing you will hear from SoulHealer," the band commented.
