Helsinki, Finland-based progressive metal group Amoral announced the return of original vocalist Niko Kallioj\u00e4rvi, revealing this development on March 26th, 2015. Causing Amoral to become a six-piece, Kallioj\u00e4rvi\u2019s return had been in the works since 2014.<\/p>\n

Amoral\u2019s seventh full-length studio album is currently being written, with a tentative early 2016 issue being slated.<\/p>\n

Niko Kallioj\u00e4rvi issued the following statement: \u201cDamnation! The Amoral gigs I\u2019ve done cameos at during the last few years have been fun experiences, so when I was asked to come back to the group, I was both surprised and excited. For musical reasons, but also since I\u2019ve always been comfortable in said company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new line-up lets us realise musical ideas in a whole new way. The more I\u2019ve been thinking about it, the more it makes sense. Amoral has been broadening its sound palette throughout its history \u2013 and now, more than ever, we have a whole pack of aces up our sleeves!\u201d<\/p>\n

Amoral guitarist Ben Varon shared the following, meanwhile: \u201cNiko\u2019s company felt natural both onstage and backstage, and hearing his voice \u2013 which I\u2019ve always said is one of my all-time favourite growls \u2013 on those songs after a long while felt good. And once I realized what a great guitarist Niko is these days, the vision started to get clearer: this would be just the thing to take our musical journey to the next level! Two singers, three guitar players, one of which is now a part-time keyboardist… Things just got interesting!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sixth studio record Fallen Leaves & Dead Sparrows<\/em> was released<\/a> in February 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
