Finnish monster metal group LORDI has recruited Kone as the replacement for its recently departed founding guitarist Amen-Ra (a.k.a. Amen).
Kone will make his live debut with LORDI on Friday, June 10 at the Rock In The City festival in Kuopio, Finland.
Amen-Ra, whose real name is Jussi Sydänmaa, announced his departure from LORDI in early May. At the time, the 49-year-old musician said in a statement that " life happens and people change." He added: "I don't know what the future will bring, all I can tell you is that right now I'm relieved, but sad. I'm grateful but unsure where my path will take me. A big chapter of my life has come to an end, but a new one is starting and I can't wait to see what life has to offer for me."
Back in November 2019, Amen-Ra released his first solo single, made available under the moniker AMEN-RA'S DYNASTY. At the time, he explained that he decided to lengthen his stage name from just Amen into Amen-Ra because "there's so many artists operating under the name Amen, I didn't see it as a practical move on my part."
