- Comunicato ufficiale riguardante Jani
Questo é il comunicato con cui oggi è stato annunciato sul sito ufficiale che Jani non farà più parte della band e sarà ufficialmente sostituito da Elias.
As many already know, our guitarist Jani Liimatainen has been absent from the line-up this spring and summer.
The reason was his messing around with his compulsory military/civil/prison duty, or rather,
complete failure to take care of it.
This matter, and everything that goes with it, caused a split between Jani and the other band members.
This split was impossible to mend without Jani's help and co-operation.
Therefore we would like to make known the following:
During fall of '06 and spring of '07, Jani's personal matters and actions drove us to a situation
where we had no option but to ask Jani to leave the band.
Jani was notified of this in May, and the separation was amicable. We wanted to give Jani the
chance to get his life together before making this public, which is why we didn't make this
announcement earlier. We wish Jani well on his chosen path.
"Show must go on", so, facing the facts, we hereby humbly announce that Elias Viljanen
is from this day forward a full and official member of Sonata Arctica.
Throughout this summer, on many occasions, Elias has shown himself to be able to fill
the big boots Jani left behind.
We hope our friends and our fans understand that this was the only choice left for us to make so
that our band could continue. Sonata Arctica has always been, and always will be, more than the
sum of its parts. The band has become for us a way of life, a lifeline that simply can not be cut off.
A long "Unia" -tour lies in front of us.
We extend Elias a warm welcome to the Sonata family, and we hope the fans will, too.
Sonata Arctica is whole again.
See you on the road!
Best regards,
~Tony, Tommy, Marko, and Henrik

- Aggiornamenti
Ho aggiornato alcune sezioni del sito:
Video
Aggiunto il video di "Paid in Full" e versioni leggermente migliori dei restanti video.
La qualità video di "Paid in Full" é abbastanza bassa, ma pirtroppo é così anche la versione presente sul sito ufficiale.
Interviste
Aggiunte due nuove interviste realizzate nel mese di aprile.Ringrazio tutti quelli che mi stanno dando una mano con questa sezione ;)
Foto
Aggiunte le foto promozionali realizzate per Unia. Ho anche elminiato alcune delle gallery presenti perché mi sembrava inutile mantenere le medesime foto del sito ufficiale. Ne ho lasciate alcune per ogni anno.
