ELIS Announces New Singer

Liechtenstein-based gothic metallers ELIS have announced the addition of singer Simone Christinat (LEGENDA AUREA, FELONY) from Schaffhausen, Switzerland to the group's ranks.
Commented Simone: "I am really happy to be announced as the new singer of ELIS. I feel honored to be a part of this great band and I'm looking forward to a lot of good moments with ELIS. It feels like the beginning of a new chapter in my life and I am excited to get many new experiences as the new ELIS singer. The first show will be in July. Until then there have a couple of rehearsals to be done. Of course it would be great to meet you ELIS fans soon at one of our upcoming shows." ELIS recently parted ways with singer Sandra Schleret. The band explained in a statement, "We knew that it wouldn't be easy to go on withELIS after [former ELIS singer] Sabine's [Dünser] death [Sabinesuffered a cerebral hemorrhage on July 7, 2006 during rehearsal and passed away the following day in hospital. — Ed.] and therefore we needed a strong personality as our new singer. We found this person inSandra and it felt like we have sought and found each other. We played great concerts and tours and we created a brilliant record, 'Catharsis', in which we've put a lot of heart blood and personal feelings. But as time [went] by, Sandra's and our interests moved in different directions and it became more and more difficult to find a common denominator. So we weren't very surprised as Sandra told us that she [was considering] leaving the band. We talked for a long time and came to the conclusion that it would be the best for all to part ways. "Yet again we had to decide if we should go on with ELIS and how it should look like. We agreed to give it one more try, but with a fresh start. We felt that a cut has to be done, to leave the past behind and move forward into the future. "We found a great new singer and are writing new songs right now. "Our goal is to enter the studio by the end of this year to record a new album. We also are rehearsing regularly, to get ready for the stage as soon as possible." ELIS's most recent album, "Catharsis", was released in November 2009 via Napalm Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Griefshire", "Catharsis"was recorded at Mastersound Studio in Germany with producer Alex Krull (ATROCITY, LEAVES' EYES) and marked the band's first — and now only — full-length recording with Schleret.
