Friends of the fallen. The Murphy law strikes again. Aki has given us the news that he leaves The Duskfall and we are once again without a vocalist. Aki left you a message with his words on the matter below. We are of course sad about this but we understand his reasons and respect his decision. We would like to thank him for his time in the band and are grateful for the shows we played together, especially the ones in Japan that will be a memory for life. We wish him all the best with all his future projects!
"Friends of the fallen. My time in The Duskfall has passed and things didn't go as smooth as I had hoped and music business is never easy. Things in life also changes and one must focus on the things that feel right. I hoped I would have made albums with the band and the progress would have been quicker but if you read the Mike's last post you know it hasn't been easy as a band either. As for myself my life has changed pretty drastically also. I am turning 40 this december and finally got the chance to open my own shop (custom motorcycles, tattoos and clothing) which I have been dreaming about for couple of decades. As the band was kind of in a state of standstill (for my taste) I decided to go for my dream and start my own business some months ago.
Running the shop, doing tattoos and building custom bikes takes pretty much all of my time right now as I am trying to make a living. On music front there is basicly only offers for buy on tours with bigger names for bands like The Duskfall and there's just not a chance for me to pay bills on a hope for better times. I never thought I would be the one being the hand brake for a band to go forward so this is what I have to do to keep the band's progress going. The Duskfall has super talented musicians who create the perfect melodic death metal and I was honoured to be a little part of the band's journey. I want to thank the guys and all of you who support this great band! I will continue rehearsing my vocals with my local band Quake The Earth occasionally but my main focus now is to improve as a tattoo artist, bike builder and a shop keeper. Please feel free to pop in and say hello if you're ever around Oulu, Finland. Much respect - Aki Häkkinen"
We start the search for our new vocalist right away and hope that you spread the word to anyone you feel might be of interest.

Stay fallen!
