Finnish female-fronted metal band
Memoira, which announced on November 29 that it was parting ways with guitarist
Jani Haanp��, has issued the following update:
"This is kinda embarrasing but this information is wrong and all this is just a huge misunderstanding. Guitarist
Jani Haanp�� is still in the band and will be.
Jani is only taking a little break as his family is having their second child in the beginning of January and will return back to work in the end February. So all is good.
Memoira will take a creative break from gigging and will concentrate on new material and plans for the new video. Gigs start again in the end of February."
Memoira's self-titled debut album was released in August via
Nightmare Records.
The band's sound was previously described by the label as "epic melancholic metal that has progressive and gothic orchestral parts." According to
Nightmare,
Memoira carries on "in the fashon of bands such as
Nightwish,
Epica,
Kamelot,
Within Temptation,
Evanescence and
Lacuna Coil."
Memoira's video for the song
"Liberation" can be viewed below.
