Insomnium<\/a><\/strong> has officially parted ways with guitarist Jani Liimatainen<\/strong>. According to a statement by Insomnium<\/a><\/strong>, Liimatainen<\/strong> stopped talking to his bandmates and they can’t wait around anymore. Liimatainen<\/strong> played for Insomnium<\/a><\/strong> between 2019 and present day, and will continue to be filled in for by Ville Friman<\/strong>, Brandon Ellis<\/strong> (The Black Dahlia Murder<\/a><\/strong>), and Nick Cordle<\/strong> (Omnium Gatherum<\/a><\/strong>) live.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that Jani Liimatainen<\/strong> put out a solo record under his own name in 2022 named My Father’s Son<\/em>, and (seemingly) performed on Insomnium<\/a><\/strong>‘s 2023 album Anno 1696<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Many of you have been asking where Jani Liimatainen<\/strong> is and why there has been no update about his status in the band,” wrote Insomnium<\/a><\/strong>. “The answer is weirdly simple: For a long time we didn’t know where he was and we could not reach him by any means.<\/p>\n

“The reason why we did not address this situation publicly was that we hadn’t given up hope yet. Obviously, Jani<\/strong> has been a close friend and much-valued member of this band for years. We wanted to allow him to either solve the situation or at least provide a statement to his fans.<\/p>\n

“Sadly it is now evident that Jani<\/strong> and the rest of Insomnium<\/a><\/strong> have different priorities. We have hence agreed to go separate ways and Insomnium<\/a><\/strong> will continue as a 4-piece unit from here on.<\/p>\n

“This will not affect any of the forthcoming live shows: Ville Friman<\/strong> will be joining for the Finnish shows, Brandon Ellis<\/strong> (The Black Dahlia Murder<\/a><\/strong>), and Nick Cordle<\/strong> (Omnium Gatherum<\/a><\/strong>) have agreed to fill in the second guitar during the forthcoming North American tour.<\/p>\n

“We wish Jani<\/strong> all the best in the future and want to thank him for the past years spent with Insomnium<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/p>\n
