Finnish progressive metal band, Simulacrum, who recently introduced their new drummer Matias Rokio, have now completed the lineup for their forthcoming fourth album.
The band is excited to welcome two new members: vocalist Christian Palin and guitarist Harri Hytönen. Both Christian and Harri are part of the hard rock band Fenyx Rising, and their seamless chemistry and strong work ethic made them a perfect fit for Simulacrum. Both musicians have been avid fans of progressive metal since their youth, drawing inspiration from bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, Tool, and Adagio, who were pioneers in the genre.
Christian Palin has been an active figure in the metal scene since the 2000s, having collaborated with numerous bands and released several recordings. His band, Random Eyes, has put out four albums, and he also contributed vocals to the album Archangels in Black by French progressive metal giants Adagio. His career also includes stints with Panorama, Magic Kingdom, and a previous collaboration with Simulacrum’s keyboardist on the power metal project Epicrenel.
Harri Hytönen, besides playing in Fenyx Rising, has a long-standing career in the metal industry. He is also currently a member of Armada North and serves as the live lead guitarist for Kalmah. His past band experiences include playing with Gandalf, Scourger, and Hammerhed.
Fans can look forward to the band’s fresh lineup and upcoming teasers for their highly anticipated new album.
