Finland's FINNTROLL released their brand new "acoustic/experimental" CD featuring their new singer Tapio Wilska, titled Visor Om Slutet on April 24 in Scandinavia. The band are set to enter the studio later this year to record their next full-length album. FINNTROLL honored their commitment to participate in a European tour with Katatonia which began on April 16 in Frankfurt, Germany to honor the memory of guitarist Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta, who died last month from injuries sustained in an accidental fall from a bridge while intoxicated.

Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's biggest daily newspaper, reports in today's edition that "there has been a 'sea of candles' on Helsinki's Pitkдsilta (Long Bridge) during the last few days. All of them respect the memory of Teemu 'Somnium' Raimoranta.

"FINNTROLL's and IMPALED NAZARENE's guitarist died when he fell from the bridge into the ice."

More details have emerged about the memorial concert for FINNTROLL/IMPALED NAZARENE guitarist Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta, who died Sunday morning (March 16) from injuries sustained in an accidental fall he took while intoxicated.

The gig will take place on Tuesday, March 25 at Nosturi in Helsinki and will feature the following lineup:

09:00 p.m. BARATHRUM
10:00 p.m. ENSIFERUM
11:00 p.m. IMPALED NAZARENE
12:00 a.m. FINNTROLL

CHILDREN OF BODOM are rumored to be making an appearance as well, but their participation has yet to be officially confirmed. There will be a voluntary entrance fee of 10 euros, with all proceeds going to Teemu's family to cover various expenses. No alcohol will be sold at the event, at the request of Teemu's mother. Raimoranta's funeral will be held on Saturday, March 29 in Helsinki.

FINNTROLL/IMPALED NAZARENE guitarist Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta died Sunday morning (March 16) of injuries sustained in an alcohol-related accidental fall, it has been officially announced. Teemu was 25 years old.

As previously reported, FINNTROLL recently completed work on an "acoustic/experimental" CD, titled "Visor Om Slutet" (the group's first with new singer Tapio Wilska), and were set to embark on a European tour next month with KATATONIA. It is not presently clear if the band will proceed with their touring plans in light of Somnium's passing.
