Amorphis guitarist Esa Holopainen has posted the following update on the group's official web site:

"A good time to inform [everyone] that the rehearsings with JP Leppäluoto [Charon singer and fill-in vocalist for Amorphis' upcoming U.S. tour] goes further exellent. We have been now two days in rehearsing flat and the result is great, JP has improved the band with a great talent and his voice matches perfectly to AMO-songs so no worries. Also people who are sceptic about how the old tracks are going to be performed will be surprised..."

Yeah, all of those non-competition laws are really helpful in stopping that sort of sh** from happening.... or not.

We have TWO Hours of Metal per week on radio where I live, and most of it is nu metal. They'll usually throw in some Swedish stufff, and some old school stuff (maybe even Dimmu Borgir if we're lucky!). And it's on at 11pm-1am. This place is a f***ing backwater.

I don't know, at least Antarctica has a cool song about it (Antarctica by Immortal) I think it'd be very inspirational for icy, grim black metal riffs.
