Alerion Announces New Keyboardist Nathalia Hoogkamer

Dutch female-fronted metallers Alerion have issued the following update about recruiting a new keyboardist:

"Nathalia Hoogkamer has joined Alerion on keyboards. After auditioning several keyboardists, Nathalia was asked to join the band on May 17th. Formerly Nathalia was a member of folk metal band Thronar from Arnhem, The Netherlands, with whom she performed on many gigs. With Thronar Nathalia released two albums: 2008's Unleash the Fire and 2005's For Death and Glory. We are happy to have her in Alerion and look forward to creating new music with her. Furthermore, we are now able to finish the writing process of the new songs A Life Less Ordinary, Colourblind and Chains of the Collective. We'll add them to our live set as soon as they're done."

Nathalia also commented: "After Thronar broke up, I've been busy giving piano lessons. But my my, did I miss the stage and a good band around me! Then Alerion came on my path: great musicians, great people. I'm glad to have the honour to be part of the band. Let's make some music!"
