Band’s drummer Misiek Ślusarski comments: “Some people
were quick to name Krzysiek’s departure as the end of the band but we always
knew it was just another obstacle in our way. Since the formation of Exlibris
the vast majority of music was written by original members Daniel Lechmański and
Piotr Sikora so we never worried about the quality of new material. We did
however expect finding a new singer to be some kind of a problem. It turned out
in the end, that the best one lives over a thousand kilometers away.”
Piotr Sikora, keyboardist adds: “In addition to Riku
being an experienced and very professional singer, we simply hit it off on a
personal level. That and not being driven away by our sense of humor is what
makes him the person we were looking for for almost a year. The physical
distance surely is a challenge but it also opens new exciting possibilities. At
the moment we’re preparing to hit the stage for the very first time but right
after that we will begin the pre-production of our new album. The new single is
just a small taste of what we have in store so it’s definitely something to be
excited about!”
On June 25th, Exlibris will headline the second stage at Rock
Hard, Ride Free Festival in Goleniów Poland. More dates will be announced soon.
Band’s touring schedule for this year includes shows in Poland, Germany and
Finland.
Riku Turunen comments joining the band: “I have been
super excited to get on stage with Exlibris guys since I first heard their
music. The original plan for me was to do only couple of gigs to patch up
missing lead singer position for those shows... but then one thing led to
another... I have been working on new a single with Exlibris for the past few
weeks and when I was asked to join the group, I didn't have to think twice! I
hope... no, I am sure the fans of Exlibris will like how the new group sounds.
It is definitely different with my Mickey Mouse vocals on top of killer music
material, but just give a listen to the new single and make up your own
mind!”
Exlibris was founded in Warsaw, Poland in 2003. According to
Ranker.com, their debut album “Humagination” was the highest scoring album of
the year 2013 in internet reviews. “Aftereal”, the band’s latest album, was
