 Battle metal legends Turisas brought their rampaging European Tour to the Brook in Southampton on March 12th.
Live photos from the bands set can be viewed below.
As previously reported, the band were forced into hiring a replacement accordion player for their European tour.
Commented the band "We hereby announce that we have been forced to hire
a step-in accordion player to replace Lisko on all announced upcoming
tour dates. We have an important show this Friday at Finnish Metal Expo
(FIN) and two lengthy tours in UK/Europe and USA just around the corner
- but no accordion player.
"The thing is, we played a cool show in Groningen, Netherlands on 11th
January and everything was cool. Then the next day, before the flight,
some of us decided to check out Amsterdam really quickly, by train.
Lisko had behaved in a bit hazy way during the trip, but it was nothing
that weird (considering he is Lisko); however, he never showed up back
at the airport. We got an interesting phone call, where he told that
due to "special" reasons he wouldn't fly in the same plane with us.
This alone was pissing us off a bit, but we decided he could do it on
his own expense. However, after returning to Finland, despite our
attempts, there has been practically no communication with the guy,
apart from a couple of interesting SMS's (so apparently he's alive): no
rehearsals, nothing. We don't even know if he's back in Finland at the
moment.
"This puts us in a difficult situation: with a lot of pre-arrangements
like flights and visas to be done, and with all our upcoming
responsibilities we have no other option than to release Lisko from his
duties for an undetermined time period, starting from today. Luckily
for us, we already managed to get a replacement for him on such a short
warning time: the step-in accordionist for Spring 2008 will be Netta
Skog, who also helped us out with the latest European tour in
October-November. No permanent accordion player will be added to the
current line-up at this point. TURISAS also wants to point out that NO
shows will be affected by the small change in the line-up."
