STRATOVARIUS - line-up changes

Finland's STRATOVARIUS have officially parted ways with vocalist Timo Kotipelto and drummer Jorg Michael.
"Due to irrevocable and massive difficulties between the band leader Timo Tolkki and me, it has been agreed that this is the best thing to do to preserve at least some of the integrity the band used to have," Kotipelto said, according to the band's web site. "I will now fully concentrate on my solo album and I am convinced that this is the best way for me."
Jorg Michael says that his priorities lie elsewhere at the moment, but that the suddenly escalating trouble in the band is one of the main reasons he doesn't want to play in STRATOVARIUS anymore.
"I think this is the beginning of new era for STRATOVARIUS and that the future looks bright and promising," guitarist/leader Timo Tolkki commented. "I have composed some of my best songs during the last month. If anything good comes out of this, then I guess it will be the emotions I have managed to channel into new songs about this situation, which has been very heavy for all of us. I have been having quite bad mental problems lately, but I feel better now due to anti-depressive medication my therapist has prescribed me."
According to the group's booking agent, Continental Concerts, the current line-up is "100% certain" to fulfill all its obligations regarding festival dates next year even though there is a lot of simmering hate waiting to boil over.
Tolkki is currently talking to a German singer and a Finnish drummer about replacing Kotipelto and Michael, but he stresses that absolutely nothing is confirmed at this point. He adds that he is actively looking for replacements.

CREMATORY - comeback album

The comeback album "Revolution" of CREMATORY, originally to be released on 1st March 2004, is delayed for an indefinite time, for CREMATORY had to stop their recordings.
In the middle of working on the comeback album “Revolution”, Katrin gave birth to her and Markus’ daughter Janina, two weeks before the actual due date. Because of this early birth, CREMATORY had to stop the recording sessions until further notice. But as more than half of the album is already finished, CREMATORY decided to release a single in advance on the originally scheduled album release date – a little consolation for the fans.
The high-qualified single will contain the single- and album-version of “Greed”, a cover version of METALLICA’s “One” and a ballad named “Farewell Letter” as well as the video clip of “Greed” which was wrapped only a few days before Janina was born. Not only a consolation but also value for money from CREMATORY for their fans!
Of course, CREMATORY will continue to work on “Revolution” which will definitely be in store during 2004!
