Wishing Well Recruits Fill-In Vocalist
Finnish outfit Wishing Well has announced that due to personal issues, vocalist Peter James Goodman will not perform live on upcoming shows this month. He will be replaced by Pekka Montin, the singer from Finnish metal band Judas Avenger. Guitarist Anssi Korkiakoski comments:
“First we were sorry, now we’re excited. We hope Pete all the best but we are ready to kick some serious ass with Pekka, who’s an excellent metal singer with a very versatile voice and range. We are all very impressed by his talent and motivation. With Pekka the songs from Chasing Rainbows album will be born again live with some tasty screams and growls. Time will tell if Pete will return to the fold but now it’s too early to say more.”
Wishing Well Releases "Sacrifice" Music Video
Finnish hard rockers Wishing Well released a video for the song "Sacrifice" off the latest release "Chasing Rainbows," issued via Inverse Records on February 5th.
"The new album has got some very positive feedback and we decided to gain momentum by coming up with a video while the album is still fresh. We wanted to introduce the heavier side of Wishing Well and that’s why we chose this song," says lead vocalist Peter James Goodman. "It’s the slowest track on the album and there’s really heavy groove there. People seem to like the song and we like it too!"
"We didn’t really have a budget for the video but we didn’t let that stop us," says guitar player Anssi Korkiakoski, who came up with the idea for the video. "We’re happy that it’s out there now, at least people can see some faces this time. It’s the music that really matters but of course videos are very important and we’ll certainly come up with more videos later."
The band is now promoting the album and making plans for the future. They will support Graham Bonnet (with whom they cooperated on "Hippie Heart Gypsy Soul" single) in Helsinki on April 21st, with more dates to be confirmed later.
