Losing drummer Mika Karpinnen earlier this year is being partially blamed for the delay. He was replaced by Jukka Kroger. Val tells MDR Jump: "It's an interesting time for us, since our previous drummer left the band in February. So now we have a new guy. We're just doing a few shows to test the waters and see how the chemistry works within the band.

"Everything is going splendid, which is great, because it's not the easiest thing. We had the same drummer for 15 years, and then, all of a sudden, now we have to find somebody who would actually fill that hole.
