Change of vocalist, Tomi Murtomäki will handle at least upcoming gigs.
Here is example, Beyond.
Here is Vesa's press release:
Howdy folks!
Well, yes I'm out of ranks of SM! Although SM guys gave me the best chance
to enjoy doom via normal band stuff and live and studio work, I lost
motivation kinda totally last autumn for music stuff in general.
Some other persons might survive band work and gigs with 50, 70, 90 % of
motivation but for me it's impossible to manage if I'm not 100% "present"
all the time. It just eats me alive! For me playing music is like in the
Blues Brothers movie, " mission from God" and it must be done properly
with full heart or not at all. This was discussed with band already 6 months
ago but I decided to try once more.
I thought that I could handle these gigs this autumn but it would have been
disaster, I believe. You know, the nicest guy could so easily turn to your
worst nightmare and that would have happen with gigs, I'm sure! As we saw in
private party ....
Well, the best thing here is that SM got helluva singer now and hopefully
the band will go on as heavy as ever ..... not literally tho' !
What comes to my future, I got plans to make some kinda solo cd during next
12 months .... slowly, bit by bit.... hopefully this will see the light of
the day someday. Working title is " Testament of dying breed" .... we'll see
if that ever happens!
But anyways I wish good luck for SM for the upcoming gigs and future!
And cheers to all SM fans I met during years, you were great! See ya
somewhere I hope!
